You Lyrics
Wait for them here in my arms as i shake
If you must weep
Do it right here in my bed as i sleep
Mourn with the moon and the stars up above
If you must mourn
don't do it long
Leave as though fire burns under your feet
If you must speak
Speak every word as though it were unique
Die knowing your life was my life's best part
If you must die
Remeber your life
you are all
Fight with yourself and your thought in the night
If you must work
work to leave some part of you on this earth
And if you must live darling one
Just live...
If you must wait, Wait for them here in my arms as I shake If you must weep, Do it right here in my arms as I sleep If you must mourn my love, Mourn with the moon and the stars up above
If you must mourn, Don't do it alone
If you must leave, Leave as though fire burns under your feet If you must speak, Speak every word as though it were unique If you must die sweetheart, Die knowing your life was my life's best part
If you must die, Remember your life
You are, you are
If you must fight, Fight with yourself and your thoughts in the night If you must work, Work to leave some part of you on this earth If you must live darling one, Just live
This is mt favourite of his songs and to be honest I don't actually know what the song means so I'll give you my interpretation of it.
Overall to me the song is sang to someone dying, or the relationship dying.
If you must wait, Wait for them here in my arms as I shake
Here, "them" is death, and they want to be close to them but their arms are shaking beside they're so emotional.
If you must weep, Do it right here in my bed as I sleep
People usually cry while they are dying, and he want to be with them, but he doesn't want to see them cry, so he's asking they do it while he sleeps
If you must mourn, my love Mourn with the moon and the stars up above If you must mourn, Don't do it alone
Once again he doesn't want them to be alone, as they mourn their own death.
If you must leave, Leave as though fire burns under your feet
He's saying if they're going to die on him they should do it quickly, as in its probably more painful to watch them die
If you must speak, Speak every word as though it were unique
These are her last words so he's asking her to choose them carefully
If you must die, sweetheart Die knowing your life was my life's best part
I feel like this part is very literal
If you must die, Remember your life
I feel like this part is literal too and he's asking her to remember him again
You are You are Oh, you are You are Oh
He doesn't quite know what to say
If you must fight, Fight with yourself and your thoughts in the night
He's saying she she should put her all, and instead of arguing with him, she should work on making herself better
If you must work, Work to leave some part of you on this earth
If she's going to do something that will cause strain she should do something that counts, she should leaver her mark, so he and others can remember her
If you must live, darling one, Just live Just live Just live
He just wants her to survive, because it's painful watching her die.
It is about talking a dear friend out of suicide.
I do not know the real meaning of this song but here's my own interpretation of it:
I think it's about having a SO who's suicidal and being aware of it I can't imagine anyone not feeling/having felt something like suicidal thoughts would know how it feels, and I believe the writer is aware of this when writing these lyrics. The writer goes through a list of possible things his SO might be experiencing
If you must wait, Wait for them here in my arms as I shake
"wait" being a state where the SO is trying to fight away dark thoughts the writer wants to be near them even when knowing the fact of their SO's state makes his arms shake from fear of loss and sadness.
If you must weep, Do it right here in my bed as I sleep
I believe the writer knows that he cant always give a helping hand in a situation like this, but he would still like to be close to them and perhaps offer some degree of support just by being physically near.
If you must mourn, my love Mourn with the moon and the stars up above If you must mourn, Don't do it alone
Again, I think the writer knows he may not be able to help in the mourning the thought of leaving forever. but they urge their SO not to do it alone.
If you must leave, Leave as though fire burns under your feet
i'm not entirely sure what is meant here but to me, as horrible as it sounds, the writer is asking his SO not to suffer for long.
If you must speak, Speak every word as though it were unique
The writer is asking his SO that, if they want to talk about anything, they should say everything and not leave a word unsaid. After all, this might just be their last words.
If you must die, sweetheart Die knowing your life was my life's best part
The writer feels how useless he might actually be when this is a battle one fights in their own mind, but he still wants his SO to know that they are the best part of his life even if they succumb to their thoughts in the end.
If you must die, Remember your life
The writer still feels compelled to offer some guidance by asking their SO to remember the good parts of their life
You are You are Oh, you are You are Oh
The writer conveys frustration from not being able to do anything to help.
If you must fight, Fight with yourself and your thoughts in the night
The writer here asks that his SO not fight him and push him away, but rather fight battle with their thoughts.
If you must work, Work to leave some part of you on this earth
The writer tells his SO that if they want to do anything in life before they leave, that they do something and create memories he can remember them by.
If you must live, darling one,
Just live Just live Just live
The writer, reaching the option of his SO fighting through and living, he is unable to continue to stand by and he expresses his desire for his SO to "just live" in a way that's similar to begging.
I apologize for this very gloomy interpretation, but I've known people with suicidal thoughts. Although they were my friends and not my SO, I have felt the futility of my attempts to help them.
This is not the lyrics for YOU...
The publisher didn't recognize this as a separate song so the lyrics to You Don't Know How Lucky You Are, are stuck here for some reason.. Tried fixing but no luck!
