Well, you know, when you hear that word “arrive,” it kind of makes you think about when something important’s comin’. Maybe it’s a person, maybe it’s a moment, or maybe it’s somethin’ else, but it sure does mean somethin’ big’s happenin’. Like when someone says, “Tell ’em I’ve arrived!” you know they ain’t messin’ around. That’s what we see in them lyrics, don’t we? Someone’s comin’, and they’re gonna make a mark, no doubt about it.
Now, you take that song “Arrive” by Jessi, right? It starts out with somethin’ simple, like “Tell ’em I’ve arrived, yeah,” and you can feel it. Ain’t no mystery about what’s goin’ on. They’re lettin’ the world know that they’ve come, and they’re not just passin’ through. Nope, they’re makin’ a statement. “See them holdin’ up the sign, yeah.” That part right there makes ya think about when you see them big signs at the airport or somethin’. You know, the ones that say “Welcome home!” or “Here they come!” It’s that same feelin’. Somebody’s important is here.
But there’s more to it. You see, this whole idea of arrivin’ ain’t just about showin’ up, it’s about what happens when you do. Like in them lyrics, “Took forever and a day.” You ever had somethin’ that took so long to get to, but when it did, it was worth the wait? Could be a letter from a long-lost friend or the arrival of a new season in life. Ain’t nothin’ like it.
Then, you got them deeper, more spiritual lyrics. “Arrive” ain’t just for pop stars or folks on stage, it can be a story of somethin’ bigger. Take Mary and Joseph, for instance. When they were singin’ about Jesus arrivin’ as a baby, well, that was somethin’ big. The whole world was changin’, and they were just waitin’ for that moment when Jesus would arrive to bring hope to the whole of humanity. That’s somethin’ worth singin’ about, don’t ya think?
And when you look at them words, “any day now I will leave the seas behind,” it makes ya think of goin’ somewhere new. Could be a journey across the ocean, or could be a new chapter in your life. It’s like sayin’, “I’m ready for somethin’ new,” and you’re not worried about what’s behind, just focused on what’s ahead. That’s real courage, ya know?
There’s another part of them lyrics that says, “I lay Your promise like an anchor in the depths that my mind can’t fathom.” Now that’s a powerful thought. When you’re holdin’ onto somethin’ so strong, so deep, that even if the winds blow and the waters get rough, you know you’re gonna be alright. It’s like havin’ faith, ya know? Trustin’ that no matter what comes your way, you’re gonna make it through because you got something steady to hold onto.
Then, they say, “I hoist it up till it finds Your breath amongst the winds that I can’t see.” You ever felt like that? Like you’re searchin’ for something, but it ain’t clear yet? You know it’s out there, but you can’t quite see it? Sometimes in life, we don’t know what’s comin’, but we trust that it’ll come. And when it does, it’s like you just know—that’s it. That’s what you’ve been waitin’ for.
At the end of the day, when you think about what it means to “arrive,” it’s more than just showin’ up. It’s about makin’ an impact. It’s about changin’ the world, even if it’s just your own little world. And sometimes, that arrival ain’t just about where you’re goin’, it’s about the journey it took to get there. It’s the faith, the patience, and the hope that carries you through, even when the road’s long and hard.
So whether you’re waitin’ for a song to end or a new day to start, know that the moment will come. It’ll arrive, just like it’s meant to. And when it does, don’t be afraid to shout out loud, “Tell ’em I’ve arrived!”
