What It Is

**What It Is** is a song by Amber Mark and appears as the second track on her album Three Dimensions Deep.

## Background

“I’m a sucker for big, very in-your-face harmonies. I had just seen the Bee Gees film [The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend A Broken Heart] and was so inspired by their journey. I remember writing this in one day. It’s a very bold song for me, and it started with writing out what this album means, conceptually. “*What It Is*” low key is the title track of the album without it actually being the title track. It comes from going through negative experiences which end up being the gateway to a question I think I’ll be asking for the rest of my life; what is the meaning of life, the universe and everything?".

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I, I gave it my all, I tried

But nothing could stop this fire

So hard to leave it all behind

And I know

The good with the bad, we fall

What is the point of it all? Mmm

[Pre-Chorus]

So there goes my heart

I fell apart

Trying to love

Wanna be free

So, God, tell me please

Is it in the stars? Oh

[Chorus]

Feel it in my bones

Oh, I've got to know

Tell me what it is, it is (What it is, what it is, what it is)

It is, it is (What it is, what it is, what it is)

On my mind always, at least three times a day

Tell me what it is, it is (What it is, what it is, what it is)

It is, it is (What it is, what it is, what it is)

[Post-Chorus]

Is it that sense of wonder? (Wonder)

It hit like lightning (Lightning)

Feel that inner thunder (Thunder)

It's so inviting, yeah (Ooh-ooh)

Feel it in my bones

Oh, I've got to know

Tell mе what it is, it is (What it is, what it is, what it is)

It is, it is (What it is, what it is, what it is)

[Verse 2]

Dive

Deep in the dark with no light

And I'm looking for a sign

Should I have lеft it all behind?

And I know life really takes its toll

But what is the point of it all? Yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

So there goes my heart

I fell apart

Trying to love

Wanna be free (Wanna be free)

So, God, tell me please (God, tell me please)

Is it in the stars? Gotta know

[Chorus]

Feel it in my bones

Oh, I've got to know

Tell me what it is, it is (What it is, what it is, what it is)

It is, it is (What it is, what it is, what it is)

On my mind always, at least three times a day

Tell me what it is, it is (What it is, what it is, what it is)

It is, it is (What it is, what it is, what it is)

[Post-Chorus]

Is it that sense of wonder? (Wonder)

It hit like lightning (Lightning)

Feel that inner thunder (Thunder)

It's so inviting, yeah (Ooh-ooh)

Feel it in my bones

Oh, I've got to know

Tell me what it is, it is (What it is, what it is, what it is)

It is, it is (What it is, what it is, what it is)

[Bridge]

Don't know how, a feeling so strange, yeah

The way time never stays the same

So is life with failure and age (Ooh-ooh)

Wondering why do we throw so much shame? (Why? Yeah)

You and I are one in the same (One in the same)

Dust from a heart to a flame (Uh, right)

Is it love that proves in our faith? (Is it love?)

Or how we move, spiralling?

Is it? Is it? Is it now?

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

Oh, I feel it in my bones

Oh, I've got to know

Tell me what it is, it is (What it is, what it is, what it is)

It is, it is (What it is, what it is, what it is)
