Ah
Navigating Emotions: Yearning for Connection in Dreamer Isioma's 'Ah'
Lyrics
Listen
Expression of attention, urging someone to listen.
This is so crazy, like
Describing the situation as crazy or intense.
Ever since we started hanging out
Reflecting on the time spent together.
I can't stop thinking about you
Expressing persistent thoughts about the person.
You're dodging a minefield
Describing the emotional challenge of navigating feelings.
Dodging how I feel
Avoiding or suppressing emotions and making things complicated.
Is making things so difficult
Acknowledging the difficulty caused by emotional evasion.
I need you right here
Expressing a desire for the person to be present.
Right by my side, dear
Desiring close proximity and companionship.
Is it yes?
Pose questions about the person's feelings or response.
Is it no?
Uncertainty about the person's answer—yes or no.
If it's a yes, you should know
If affirmative, a consequence is mentioned regarding intimacy.
That once our tongues twist, then so will our souls
Expressing a wish that the relationship won't end quickly.
I'm making a wish that this won't be over
Symbolic reference to the pace of the relationship.
Too fast, too fast
Noting the impact of the person on slowing down the pace.
You make me slow
Highlighting the influence of the person on slowing things down.
Ah
Uttering sounds expressing emotion or contemplation.
Ah-ah
-Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
-And now I'm just sitting here
Feeling alone and wondering about the person's thoughts.
Alone in my room
-Wondering if you're thinking about me too
-Ah
Repeating emotional sounds, possibly representing contemplation.
Ah-ah
-Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
-You know that I want you
Expressing a clear desire and need for the person.
You know that I need you
-You're safe by my side
-I wonder how normal people communicate
Reflecting on challenges in normal communication and expression.
Words have so much weight
-I never know what to say
-Rock, rock, and roll
Using musical and energetic language to describe emotions.
Rock, rock, rock
-Rock and roll energy
-Wondering how normal people meditate, or how they medicate
Questioning typical methods of coping or finding clarity.
'Cause I can't think straight
-Vibrating through this timeline
-Don't waste my time I'm famous
Emphasizing the importance of not wasting time, possibly due to fame.
