Kept Up
Fantasy Unveiled: Yearning for Connection in Empress Of's 'Kept Up'
Lyrics
I can't help but fantasize about you
I have recurring thoughts and daydreams about you.
Although we haven't met
Even though we haven't physically met yet.
Close my eyes and think of who you'd be
I close my eyes and imagine what kind of person you might be.
Hold me till you take my breath
Hold me until you leave me breathless.
You haven't hurt me, haven't said those things
You haven't caused me pain or said things to upset me.
To make me feel upset
To make me feel upset.
You haven't told me, it's all you can be
You haven't claimed to be perfect or defined by limitations.
I want you to keep me
I want you to be my support and partner.
Kept up
I am emotionally invested and preoccupied.
Dream about if you could be better
Imagining a better version of yourself in my dreams.
No one knows yet
No one else knows about these dreams yet.
Kept up
Continuation of the emotional investment and preoccupation.
Dream about if you could be better
Continuing to imagine a better version of you in my dreams.
No one knows yet
Still, no one else knows about these dreams.
I can't help but fantasize about you
Reiteration of recurring thoughts and daydreams about you.
Patient and you've got my best
You are patient and have my best interests at heart.
Want me all the time to give you love
You desire my presence constantly to express love.
Hold me closer to your chest
Yearning for a closer emotional connection.
You haven't hurt me, haven't let me down
You haven't caused me harm or disappointment.
Made me such a wreck
You haven't made me feel like a wreck.
You haven't told me, it's all you can be
You haven't claimed to be all you can be.
I want you to keep me
I want you to be my emotional anchor.
Kept up
Reiteration of emotional investment and preoccupation.
Dream about if you could be better
Continuing to dream of an improved version of you.
No one knows yet
No one else is aware of these dreams.
Kept up
Continuation of the emotional investment and preoccupation.
Dream about if you could be better
Continuing to dream of an improved version of you.
I want you to keep me
Expressing the desire for emotional support and connection.
Kept up
Reiteration of emotional investment and preoccupation.
Dream about if you could be better
Continuing to dream of an improved version of you.
No one knows yet
No one else is aware of these dreams.
Kept up
Continuation of the emotional investment and preoccupation.
Dream about if you could be better
Continuing to dream of an improved version of you.
I want you to keep me
Reiterating the desire for emotional support and connection.
(I want you to keep me)
Repetition of the longing for emotional support.
(I want you to keep me)
-(I want you to keep me)
