If you have ever seen the movie City of Angels, the song would make so much more sense. It's about and angel who falls in love with this girl but he can't feel her, he doesn't have any senses like humans do. What he does have is the ability to save people and eternal life. He gives it all up to be with the woman he loves, hence the beginning, "And I'd give up forever to touch you, cause I know that you feel me somehow, you're the closest to Heaven that I'll ever be and I don't want to go home right now." I think it's a really great love song. It can mean anything, to me the chorus means that no one understands who I am, like I'm still finding myself. The Goo Goo Dolls are an amazing band, in fact they are my favorite. My life has been changed by them. I love the fact that all of their songs can directly be related to something in anyone's life.
What do the lyrics of "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls mean?
The lyrics tell the story of an unknown person's desire to be known by the object of his love. However, he seeks to avoid the notice of others because of possible repercussions. The theme of these lyrics ties in directly to the film, in which an angel falls in love with a mortal woman, and can only stay with her by giving up his angelic nature and becoming mortal.
