This Far
Navigating Life's Storms: Kina Grannis' 'This Far' Meaning Unveiled
Lyrics
You knew it's harder when you hold me
You recognized that maintaining a connection with me becomes challenging.
You get me searching for the ceiling
Your actions prompt me to search for limits or boundaries.
Love tried to forget things
Love attempted to suppress or ignore certain memories or aspects.
It's so hard
The situation is difficult.
It's so hard
Emphasizing the difficulty of the situation.
So I'll keep going through the motions
I will continue going through the motions, performing routine actions.
Creating comfort where there is none
Creating a sense of comfort in the absence of it.
Coming to terms with the notion
Accepting and dealing with the concept or idea.
I'll be okay
Assuring oneself that everything will be fine.
Okay
Reiteration of being okay.
When rain falls down on me so hard
Experiencing emotional hardship represented by rain.
The winds unravelling me don't start
Challenges that threaten to unravel one's stability.
An ocean swallowing up my heart
An overwhelming emotional experience, likened to an engulfing ocean.
But I've made it this far
Despite challenges, the speaker has reached this point.
I've made it this far
Reiteration of having made progress.
It's hard to see happy ending
Difficulty in envisioning a happy conclusion.
When you don't see how you can mend things
Feeling unsure about the possibility of repairing things.
But life is long and forgiving
Life is lengthy and has the capacity for forgiveness.
And it goes on and on and on
Life continues, persisting indefinitely.
When rain falls down on me so hard
Similar to line 13, facing emotional challenges represented by rain.
The winds unravelling me don't start
The difficulties that threaten stability intensify.
An ocean swallowing up my heart
An emotional turmoil consuming the speaker's heart.
But I've made it this far
Despite challenges, the speaker has persevered.
And I'll keep wishing on a bright star
Maintaining hope and optimism by wishing on a bright star.
That we'll keep driving all the right cars
Hoping for a continued journey with positive choices.
And I'll keep singing when it goes dark
Continuing to express oneself even in difficult times.
'Cause I've made it this far
Reiteration of having successfully reached a significant point.
I've made it this far
Reiterating the accomplishment of making it through challenges.
I've made it this far
Confirmation of having successfully progressed to this point.
