Flyleaf: All Around Me Meaning
Song Released: 2007
All Around Me Lyrics
My arms are outstretched towards you
I feel you on my fingertips
My tongue dances behind my lips for you
This fire runs in through my being
Burning I'm not used to seeing you
I'm alive, I'm alive
I can...
-
My hands are searching for you
My arms are outstretched towards you
I feel you on my fingertips
My tongue dances behind my lips for you
sounds like a love song to me!! -
I don't really know if is about god, but maybe it's about somebody she was in love with or how she missed aperson, but the God theory is pretty strong. Just because they are Christians doesn't mean they sing about God all the time. Im a christian and I don't sing about god all the time. I listen to rap and rock. Sometimes Grunge music when I'm really pissed. So that's my opinion. I absolutely love this song no matter what it's about.
-
I think this song is about worshiping God and worshiping in the spirit. "the angels singing say we are alone with you" also about speaking in tongues, "my tongue dances behind my lips for you..." that's what I think.
-
This song is about meeting, seeing, or having God in your life.
The part of the song that really lets you know it's about God is where..
"Take my hand
I give it to you
Now you own me
All I am
You said you would never leave me
I believe you
I believe."
God said that who ever believes in him will never leave them.
Even though they're not a religious band it's just a song about her experience. -
Y'all are so dumb!
The song is about how lacey feels with her spirtual connection with God.
FLYLEAF IS A CHRISTIAN BAND!
SO YES ITS ABOUT GOD!
ANYONE WITH COMMON SENSE COULD TELL!
seriously how many girls talk about stretching their arms towards another guy?
point proven,
ITS ABOUT GOD! -
This song is about Self Mutilation. It sounds like some kind of perverse relationship a cutter has with the act of cutting herself. I have watched Intervention on A&E and this song sounds like something those people who cut themselves say. They are in so much pain, the cutting releases blood and makes them feel alive. In her video, blood was streaming in the background. So the blood makes her feel "alive.". That is why her tongue dances behind her lips, and that is why she feels alone with her secret (that she cuts herself.)
In the alternative, it also describes a perverse relationship with drugs. Either way, I see no way that this is symbolic of a relationship of GOD. That song, while it is a good one, gives me goose bumps. It is well written, but speaks of pain! -
Ok...everyone...this song is about God...and its talking about how she lifting everything up to him and that she is praying to him "Tongue dances behind my lips for you" is talking about she is praying and speaking in what some Christians call speaking in tongues...."This fire rising through my being
Burning I'm not used to seeing you" is talking about how she can feel the holy spirit coming down on her like a flame and consuming her " I'm Alive" is meaning that she is alive in Christ....because to Christians Satan means death....so God means life...to live again in him.
"I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing"
Now....the "I can feel you all around me" means that God is there with her and protecting her..."Thickening the air I'm Breathing" is like he is feeling it with life and she is breathing it in.."hold on to what I'm feeling " meaning she could be in the room with God and she is crying and giving it all up to him...like someone said above...she has been through a lot so has the other band members "Savoring this heart that's healing" mean she has finally gave in to him and is letting him heal her heart from the pain and suffering she has been through....
"My hands float up above me
And you whisper you love me
And I begin to fade
Into our secret place"
In this verse she is talking about worshiping God...and he is talking to her and telling her that he loves her...and maybe more things...and she is being to fade to her and God's meeting spot or their secret place...
"The music makes me sway
The angels singing say we are alone with you
I am alone and they are too with you"
This verse is talking about how she is just flowing with the music and the angels saying we are alone with you....and well you get it its plain as day....
"And so I cry
The light is white
And I see you"
She is crying because of the pain is being letting go of and she is finally just giving him all and saying that she is seeing him maybe with his arms open and letting her run into his arms or something that....I dunno because I am not her and so there for I didn't see it.....
"Take my hand
I give it to you
Now you own me
All I am
You said you would never leave me
I believe you
I believe"
Now here she is telling God here take me I give myself to you and use me to help others and help them understand.... and in the bible it says "God will never leave you NOR forsake you..." so she is saying I believe that... I believe you...
And by the end of the song the last line...it says this "Savoring this heart that's healed" meaning that God healed her heart from maybe being broken by a ex. boyfriend or something like that maybe she has been lied or ect...and when she finally let God have it and gave him all the pieces he fixed it for her....a wise woman told me this "God can't fix a broken heart if you don't give him all the pieces"
Thats my Interpretation of the song All Around Me.... -
I think it is about felling god around you. like in the music video when the paint is coming down all around her, the paint paint is like god and he is all around her. and how that felling of him (god) all around you is so good, so great that Lacey (the lead singer) wants you (everyone) to have that feeling too. you no how paint is really hard to get off.., well its like he well not leave you, he will always be here for you.
-
I believe this song is about her relationship with God. It so holy. It makes her feel truly "alive" because God is with her. She wants to savor his presence and she doesn't want to leave his presence. She has never felt like this. That is what the song is about. It's what we would feel if we see God.
-
It's like when you know you need God and you're searching for Him and finally decide to accept Him so you are reaching for Him...and also how people lift thier hands when they praise. "I feel you on my fingertips" its like you are reaching for Him and you know He's there because you can feel His spirit. "My tounge dances behind my lips for you" means she is singing for Him. And The fire is like you are on fire for Him...you love Him so much you want to tell the world.
-
This song is definitely about worshipping God. Its exactly how I feel when I have that perfect moment with my God when I realize how much he loves me and how much he does take care of me and I put my silly little issues aside. Nothing compares to that feeling. Its way better than any relationship. and yes not all flyleaf's songs are about God but this one is.
-
I can see how everyone thinks this song is about god. It does make sense.
except for the part about her tongue dancing behind her lips. That makes me think this song is more about longing for someone she cannot have.
kind of sounds to me like she had someone but lost them and still loves them. She can still feel them and she's "holding on" to wat she's feeling.
some songs are capable of having double meanings. If your religious then I can definitely see who that's where your mind would go. -
I belive that it can be about god or a friend or your ex or a guy or a person you like
-
The song is obviously about God. I believe she is singing about being lost in worship. In praising God you are letting go of urself and for that moment its just you and him. As far as being alive she means eternally thru the Jesus. When you worship God with all that's in you his spirit moves thru u, you can feel his presence. Its so powerful and unless you have a relationship with God you haven't experienced any of that. That's why some people don't understand the songs meaning.
-
Oh it's about God? I really had no idea.
To me, when I first heard this song, I really had no clue
what the song was saying. Then, after a few times of listening
I wondered if it was about her getting raped by somebody and how it affected her. But then, someone said they had thought of it about being like someone greiving for a lost lover, and their memories about them. Which to me makes sense because there is a sentimental "air" in the song. And from then, I've found the song really sweet and meaningful.Like faith that even though they suffer, the person will never leave them despite death. Even if it is about god, that is my favorite way of interpreting it.
And besides, I'm usually bad about interpretting songs to be religious. Like the song "Never Alone" by Barlow Girls. I didn't think that was about God either. Till I found out they were a religious group. Ah well. Whatever works in your head is what works in your own head.
