Phoenix Lyrics » James Arthur
[Verse 1]
Let me, let me begin
Let me begin with an I owe you
Who I owe everything to
Lately, lately my friend
Lately, you think I’m ignoring you
But I’ve been trying to pull through
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Tell me, something that I don’t know
I couldn’t let you go
Fell on my knees
Turned my face to the rain
That’s when you heard my call
Sold me my stubborn soul
Phoenix is rising, it’s rising again
Oo, oo, oo
Woah, oo, oo
Woah, oo, oo

About James Arthur’s Phoenix from Back From The Edge (2016)
“Phoenix” offers some insight into
James Arthur’s
past with regards to recovering from
drug addiction
and continues the theme of finding a way out of dark times on the 2016 album
Back From The Edge
.
The lyrical content of this song is directly juxtaposed by the fun-loving nature of the song which precedes it on the album,
“Sober”
, allowing the audience to understand that, while there are some high point in life, the struggling with mental health and addiction is a continuous process.
“Phoenix” describes what the drugs did for him and about his rebirth through recovery from drug addiction.
The idea of rebirth is expressed through the title of the song.
A phoenix
is a mythical bird which lived for centuries at a time; they burned themselves and were reborn from their ashes, youthful and able to continue their life cycle again. This concept can be applied to James making his comeback from ‘burning himself out’ due to his past mistakes.

What did James Arthur say about “Phoenix”?
In an
track-by-track interview
, James Arthur states the following about “Phoenix”
Well with “Phoenix” I was drawing upon
D’Angelo
influences and other soulful influences. I was listening to a lot of
Miguel
during the album process and he inspires me a lot, I think his music is phenomenal and I just tried to give my interpretation of that style of music. From trying to do something like that came one of the best songs, lyrically, I think. It’s just a really sick song if I’m honest.
