In this evocative composition, James Arthur delves into themes of redemption and rebirth. The lyrics reflect a journey from pain and self-destruction to healing and renewal, symbolized by the mythological phoenix rising from its ashes. Arthur acknowledges past mistakes, expressing regret for pushing away loved ones and causing hurt. The repeated plea for strength and salvation highlights his reliance on an external force—perhaps a significant other or a higher power—to help him overcome his struggles. The imagery of falling to his knees and turning his face to the rain suggests a moment of surrender and vulnerability, leading to eventual transformation. Ultimately, the song is an introspective exploration of personal growth, resilience, and the enduring hope for a second chance at life.
Phoenix
Lyrics
Let me, let me begin
Let me begin, with an I.O.U
Who I owe everything to
Lately, lately my friend
Lately, you think I'm ignoring you
But I've been trying to pull through
All of the pain, I know you're looking down, down on me
I could have been someone
I hurt everyone
Pushed away everyone who got near
Tell me something that I don't know
I couldn't let you go
Fell on my knees, turned my face to the rain
And that's when you heard my calls
Sold me my stubborn soul
Phoenix is rising, it's rising again
Woah, oo, oo
Woah, oo, oo
Woah, oo, oo
Save me, save me again
Save me the way that you did before
'Cause no one ever could have loved me more
Give me, give me the strength
Give me the strength when I need it more
Give me the reason that I'm looking for
I was a pain, they were looking down, down on me
I could have been someone
I hurt everyone
Pushed away everyone that was near
Tell me something that I don't know
I couldn't let you go
Fell on my knees, turned my face to the rain
And that's when you heard my calls
Sold me my stubborn soul
Phoenix is rising, it's rising again
Woah, oo, oo
Woah, oo, oo
Woah, oo, oo (rising)
Woah, oo, oo (it's rising)
Woah, oo, oo (it's rising)
Woah, oo, oo
You took the pain
When my world caved down on me
Now I have someone
'Cause you came and you showed me the world
Tell me something that I don't know
I couldn't let you go (I couldn't let)
Fell on my knees (on my knees)
Turned my face to the rain
And that's when you heard my calls
Sold me my stubborn soul (you sold me the soul)
Phoenix is rising, it's rising again (phoenix is rising)
Tell me something that I don't know
I couldn't let you go
Fell on my knees, turned my face to the rain
And that's when you heard my calls
Sold me my stubborn soul
Phoenix is rising
