Katie Herzig – Lost and Found

• 0
  General Comment:I think that this is essentially a song to someone that kind of just abandoned her. Now she's questioning everything that happened during their relationship and doesn't really know how to move on from that or put words to what happened between them. "I don't believe the words you said,but I can't find the words I want"
  
  But she's now found someone who's help her move past that, whether that be God or a new romance. She's no longer going to let that person held her life in their hands "held her breath" control what's happening now. She had lost her self in that relationship, she had been lost after that person left, but now she's found something bigger, something more important. Herself.

  General Comment:I think the song is sung from a girl who lost someone. It is sung by her to her lost lover, reassuring him that she'll be okay.
  
  Lyrics like, "you left me standing there", and "you were gone in another life", and "the world you left" (in the chorus) suggest this loss. The singer sometimes daydreams about the one she lost, "I could feel you next to me, An escape from the world I'm in, Oh, I'm afraid of the world I'm in". The singer also looks forward to the day when she will see her lost one in heaven, "One day I will see Heaven's reach, I'll find the one who left me sleeping"
  
  But the singer wants her lost lover to know that she will be okay.
  
  "Somebody found me here" (she was heartbroken after losing her lover... destitute, but someone found her)
  
  "Somebody held my breath
  Somebody saved me from the world you left" (Somebody caught her in her free fall of grief. This could be another man, but there are two reasons why I doubt this. 1) It would seem like a taunt to write a song to her first lover about another man rescuing her from the grief of losing him. 2) Language like "the sun you set", "cry my tears", and "lost and found" all seem to imply that her rescuer is God. All three of these phrases could be allusions to scripture passages from Revelation and Luke. The earlier mention of meeting her lover again in heaven reinforces this view.
  
  Summary: I think the girl lost someone she loved and was devastated--fully devoid of hope. But then Someone found her and gave her hope. He (God) held her breath, cried her tears, and found her. She now has hope that she will see her lost one again.
  
  Jesus said, "I came to seek and find the lost." (Luke 19:1-10) I think he is the someone who saved the singer form the world left by her lover.

  General Comment:I think it's about being in love with someone but then you're not anymore and then you find someone else who found you, too. You're "lost" then "found"
