Alan Walker: Lily Meaning
Lily Lyrics
Afraid of the big, wide world
She grew up within her castle walls
Now and then she tried to run
And then on the night with the setting sun
She went in the woods away
So afraid, all alone
They warned her, don't go...
-
I think this is about a girl who is troubled, so she escapes from her castle and a monster invades her head and she struggles to fight it as it controls her.
-
I believe lily is a girl who gets into woods (bar) creatures hiding dark (men) the creepy thing(a good looking guy)wanting to have sexual relationship with her. After she believes his lies she gives in and have relationship with him but soon realises it was a mistake she tries to break free but he sweet talk her into it into the abusive relationship.
-
I think that Lily is scared of the creatures outside, and the castle walls being her home. Her parents told her not to go to the woods because of the dangerous creatures, but she went anyways. She meets a spirit that possesses her to take her body ( in my opinion ) and since Lily doesn't escape, the spirit takes over her body.
-
Maybe it's about a girl who gets lost and she is being controlled by a demon creature and she is in enchanted world.

Demonic posession seems like the answer which makes the most sense to me.
My theory:
Basically the demon persuades her to let her and tells her:
"Follow everywhere I go
Top over the mountains or valley low
Give you everything you've been dreaming of
Just let me in, ooh
Everything you wantin' gonna be the magic story you've been told
And you'll be safe under my control
Just let me in, ooh"
There is numerous parts in the song she tries to escape:
"Then she ran faster than
Start screaming, is there someone out there?
Please help me"
Which usually follows up with the demon behind her trying to presuade her more, however in the last line it's the girl saying:
"Just let me in, ooh"

I believe this song is about a girl in an abusive relationship since she grew up so protected. Then she ran away and met someone who could give her what she wanted and eventually she saw the reality of her situation and tried to escape. In the end, music is a form of art and we can choose to interpret it however we would like to so for others this song way be just a fairy tail of have a deeper philosophical and ideological interpretation.
One could see this as a comment on capitalism where the protection of her family is the protection of a socialist society where we are all equal and safe but she wanted to venture out and find her own means when she runs into a creature (capitalism) and it tells her it can give her everything she has ever wanted but eventually she realizes that she was fooled and is now seeking to return back to a system where she is helped by others -
I think in this son Alan Walker is praising darkness cause there isn't any end of the song ie,Lilly hasn't escaped from the creature which stands for darkness
-
I looked it up bcz alan walker actually said this was the meaning.
.. So its bout a girl who is in an Abusive relationship and she doesnt ntoice this but other ppl try to warn her but she just thinks they r over reacting. The bad man tells her hell gov her ANYTHING she beloeves him tho. Later the abusion gets physical so she trys to escape it but nobody listens so she just keeps trying but she never escapes sadly
-
I think that Lily is about well actually IDK lol just beleave what u wanna believe
-
I think it's about a girl (Lily) being afraid of people or school (Afraid of the big, wide, world) and she wouldn't tell anyone or interact with people, so she was shy (She grew up within her castle walls) and then she tries to run from school (Now and then she tried to run) but someone wants to be her friend, and tells her what to do (Just follow everywhere I go, top over the mountains to valley low) and they promise to give her something (Give you everything you've been dreaming of) as long as they let them in. Lily then gets in trouble multiple times with her friend, but she is naive, so she did it. (Lily knew she was hypnotized, and walking on cold thin ice) and then she gets detention, and she isn't friends with that person anymore (and then it broke, and she awoke again) so then wants help to get better friends (Please help me, come get me) But then her old friend wants to be friends again (Behind her, she could hear it say "Follow everywhere I go...) and her ex friend tries to convince her, but lily declines, and runs away, which might be a scene in a music video for the long beat where there is no lyrics, but her old friend keeps on trying to convince her.
But this is just my opinion -
I think this about a young girl (called Lily) who has been kept away from the ‘big wide world’ by her parents who are always warning her not to ‘go there’ in fear of the impurities of the world. One day she runs away, hoping to finally get real human interaction. While running away, she meets a man who tries to lure her into a relationship. Lily, who has never been in the real world before, accepts and slowly but surely, he becomes abusive towards her. Lily thinks that this is normal until one day, he goes too far and she ‘awakes’ and realises what is happening. She tries to get out of it ‘is there someone out there? Please help me, come get me’ but he keeps on trying to persuade her that everything is fine. In the end Lily is stuck in this toxic relationship and never gets out.

I think this is a song about a new graduate (possibly from a small town hence the "afraid of the big wide world" and "she grew up within her castle walls"). She "tries to run" by going away to a big faraway college. Her parents are warning her about the impurities of the world and telling her not to go to the big college where they can not protect her. A boy (or girl but 'not trying to be sexist' most likely a boy) approaches her and offers to show her the ropes of college and tutor her. They eventually start dating but they are manipulative and abusive and she cannot break out of the relationship. This can be seen in the third verse "She knew she was hypnotized
And walking on cold thin ice
Then it broke, and she awoke again
Then she ran faster than
Start screaming, is there someone out there?
Please help me
Come get me", But they pull her back in. The rest of the song is her struggle with herself and this person she is dating. In the end, it stated "just let me in ooh" which implies she lost this battle. -
I believe the song is about a young girl who feels alone in her own home and compares it to that of a castle to show how large and empty it feels there for her. Her family and parents warn her not to go outside in the dark on her own because there are “monsters” such as kidnappers and adults who could hurt her or worse. She feels suffocated and isolated so she leaves anyway in need of some sort of friend or social interaction that could make her feel less alone. Suddenly a guy comes up to her as she’s out in the dark on her own and begins to tell her he will give her everything she wants and love her and care about her. Lily falls victim to his grooming and believes him instantly so happy that she finally has somebody she can trust and talk to who cares so much about her. Then after a while he starts to do things that make her nervous and pressure her a little saying “Just let me in” then reassuring her when she questions her trust in him with “everything you’re wanting is going to be the magic story you’ve been told! And you’ll be safe under my control” She realises this isn’t right and runs off putting distance between them before calling for help “Is there someone out there?! Please help me! Come get me!!” But he hears her calling for help and she’s so naïve and alone she trusts him, lacking an alternative choice. And in the end, Lily is taken by him and is never seen again and has simply fallen victim to sexual abuse... it’s a dark story but it makes a lot of sense and there’s a couple parts that I may have gotten wrong but it fits pretty well.

I think its about a girl who is told about the world being a cruel place. Therefore she is afraid of the outside and stays at home. Then one dag she decides to leave and meets a spirit/creature and it tells her he can take her anywhere she wants but it really wants to take control of her and pretend to be human in the city. And at first she goes with it and it hypnatizez her and finally she awakes from it and tried to escape. But it finds her and it takes control again.
But this is just my guess. -
guys its just about Human Trafficking. the creatures are the traffickers and they tell her about the goods things they will give her and when it says "she knew she was hypnotized" its means she knows the trafficker is going to sell her "then it broke" it means it was too late to go back and she runs and says "please help me come get me" she is trying to call for help "behind her, she could hear it say" the trafficker is chasing her and telling her the good things again.
