Unveiling the Depths: Eva Westphal's Journey of Self-Discovery in 'Understood'
Lyrics
Sometimes I get lonely when I’m sitting with my friends
Sometimes, I feel lonely even when surrounded by friends.
They’re sipping wine and laughing while they’re talking about men
My friends discuss relationships and enjoy wine, making me question my place in modern femininity.
And if modern femininity is so wrapped up with them, what am I then?
Wondering about my identity if modern femininity is closely associated with romantic relationships.
What am I then?
Repeating the question, emphasizing the search for self-identity.
Sometimes I get achy when I feel us holding hands
Experiencing discomfort while holding hands, drawing attention from strangers.
We get double takes from strangers
People notice and react to our relationship, leading to various responses.
Or a whistle, or a glance
Describing reactions like whistles or glances that the couple receives.
And if I can’t protect her when we’re walking home at night
Feeling unable to protect the partner during nighttime walks, raising questions about societal safety.
Who do I fight? Who do I fight?
Expressing a desire to fight against potential threats to the partner's safety.
No one understood me
Feeling misunderstood by others.
Until I met you
Acknowledging that the current partner understands and connects with the singer.
And now I’ve met you
Repeating the joy of meeting the understanding partner.
Yeah, no one understood me
Reiterating the feeling of being misunderstood before meeting the current partner.
Until I met you
Emphasizing the positive change since meeting the current partner.
And now I’ve met you, met you
Repeating the happiness derived from meeting the understanding partner.
Now when I go out I know the places that feel safe
Finding comfort in specific places and the appreciation of people enjoying the singer's music.
There’s people out there listening to the music that I make
Highlighting the positive impact of the singer's music on others.
And if I told my younger self what my life looks like now
Reflecting on the singer's current life and feeling proud compared to the past.
She’d be so proud, she’d be so proud
Imagining the approval and pride of the singer's younger self in the present.
Well, no one understood me
Reiterating the feeling of being misunderstood before meeting the current partner.
Until I met you
Acknowledging that the current partner understands and connects with the singer.
And now I’ve met you
Repeating the joy of meeting the understanding partner.
Yeah, no one understood me
Reiterating the feeling of being misunderstood before meeting the current partner.
Until I met you
Emphasizing the positive change since meeting the current partner.
And now I’ve met you, met you
Repeating the happiness derived from meeting the understanding partner.
No one understood me
Feeling misunderstood by others.
Until I met you
Acknowledging that the current partner understands and connects with the singer.
Yeah, no one understood me
Reiterating the feeling of being misunderstood before meeting the current partner.
Until I met you, and now I’ve met you
Concluding that understanding came with meeting the current partner.
