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...
-
Ok.
im not saying that the people that say this song is about god are wrong.
but think about it... why would her toungue be dancing behind her lips for god?
but anyways..
when she says:
"This fire rising through my being
Burning I'm not used to seeing you
I'm alive, I'm alive"
it could mean that she hasnt seen someone in a long time, but when she finally does see them she feels alive agian. or it could mean that she know's she's alive, but doesn't feel alive without that person.
and the part that says:
"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"
could mean that she still loves someone that left her and is surrounded by that person's memory where ever she goes or what ever she does. her being without that person is overwhelming. She's holding on to the memory and can't let go because the memory is all she has left of that person even though it could be killing her.
"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"
this part could mean that the person promised they would never leave her, but she feels like a fool for believing them. and if you listen to the song you can hear a hint of anger, frustration, or sadness in her voice on that part.
at the end it says "savoring this heart that's healed" instead of "savoring this heart that's healing".
which could mean that she's found a way to move on with her life. -
Alright, y'all ready for this?
This is my opinion, so...don't bash me...
This song is about her feeling God's prescence all around her, especially when she is alone with God (hence, All Around Me) and His presence just brings her to life (hence, "I'm alive, I'm alive") and the color pouring down the wall...well, I took it as, before she found her Faith, her life was all in black and white, and then she found God, and her world came to life.
I may be wrong, but this is still a beautiful song, either way. And I get to see them in concert in less than a week =) -
When I first heard this song I def thought it was about death. like someone she loved died and she is cooping with the loss. but I had no idea that flyleaf was a religious band. like I don't like listening to worship songs but fly leaf just makes it intense but at the same time something to relate too and I really really like that. anyways I can see how it's about God but I can also see it being about the death of a loved one.

"MY HANDS ARE OUTSTRECTHED TOWARD YOU" is talking ABOUT WORSHIPPING GOD. flyleaf was a christian group before they went big AND got signed.
and "MY TONGUE DANCES BEHIND MY LIPS FOR YOU" is talking about speaking I tongues. I went to camp with flyleaf's drummer's sister and that whole band is assembly of god-which is a branch of teh Pentecostal religion...who belive in speaking in tongues. -
It is most likely talking about god, "I can feel you all around me" is refering to god being every where, and "thickining the air I am breathing" is meaning that god saves her, I mean last time I checked you can't really breathe with thin air. any way maybe before she really had no faith in god and maybe something drimatic happened to her where now she does and she is" holding on to what I am feeling" and she's "savoring this heart that's healing"
or she is talking about a guy, even though I doubt it, that trully saved her from self destruction. Heres my theory,.. She has fallen in love so many times and they keep stomping on her heart and when SHE HAS GIVEN UP ALL HOPE someone actually comes in to her life that has trully fallen in love with she doesn't know or relly can't bring her self to beleive it in fear that it might happen again, but now she is certain that she can trust him and it feels good and she wants to hold the feeling FOREVER "I can feel you all around me, THICKINING THE AIR IM BREATING, HOLDING ON TO WHAT IM FEELING *SAVORING THIS HEART THATS HEALING*" I mean yu have to admit that it is logical.hey believe what you want -
I believe this song is about God, and is talking bout a spiritual renewal, seeking God, and the manifestation of his spirit speaking in Tongues, hence her tongue dancing behind her lips, and her feeling fire. She can feel the presence of God, All over her, leading her to the place of true comfort. This song speaks about a finding a closer relationship with God, surrendering to His will.

This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
-
I believe that she is talking about God. If you listen to the lyrics in the beginning 'My hands are searching for you, my arms are out stretched towards you, I feel you on my finger tips, my tongue dances behind my lips for you' She's speaking of worship, and praying in tongues. She was definitely inspired by God to write this song. And I understand her feeling of the presence of God. When I worship the Lord I feel him all around me, I feel alive, and I can feel him just come into me. It's the best feeling in the world the presence of God. She describes this feeling with clarity, and sincerity. It's amazing.

Totally agree it's probably about god. But I'm not religious, so when I listened to this song the first thing I thought about was my best friend Aly that died a few years ago in a car wreck. Sometimes I can (or at least it feels like I can) feel her here with me, and it makes me stronger.
But yeah, it's totally about god and praying and stuff like that. -
Not half of her songs. all of them. listen to the words. not all of them say it straight up but it's in there.

There's an interview from lacey mosely that explains this song. Http://youtube.com/watch?v=MP2hJqtBEjI

Okay me and my friends agree this song is so about SEX..... well then again we are all atheist so that's just our opinion.
-
It's about god and how she's healing by him. Since this is a Christian rock band, Half of the songs sung are about god, but it makes very good music. Anyway, She feels him all around her and she is believing in him.

Lacey had a rough life as a kid.
she dealt with some drug problems. This song is about her over coming them and feeling God around her.
she feels so alive now that she has found God. It's about him bringing her through her problems and helping her out of that. It is a worship song about God being all around her. She's holding on to what she's feeling. which is God.
make sense? -
I only just heard this song this morning on a music video. I thought it sounded really cool, but now with all the talk about them being a christian band, I'm not sure I like them anymore. I don't think it's about god, and I hope it isn't...that would be a disappointment if it is. I think its a bout a guy she really loves who might have saved or changed her life.
