Lyrics
De'javu, de'javu
Feeling of experiencing something familiar (deja vu).
I think that I've been here
Expressing a sense of familiarity or recognition.
Before with you
Associating the current experience with a past one involving the listener.
I said de'javu, de'javu
Reiteration of the deja vu feeling.
He looks like you
Noticing similarities between someone new and someone known in the past.
De'javu, de'javu
Repetition of the deja vu theme.
I think that I've been here
Recalling a past connection or relationship.
Before with you
Reiteration of the sense of familiarity with the current situation.
I said de'javu, de'javu
Emphasizing the repeated feeling of deja vu.
He looks like you
Noting similarities between the current person and someone from the past.
But I guess I was
Admitting a previous misunderstanding or misjudgment.
So wrong about u
Acknowledging an error in assessing someone.
You said that you love me
Recalling a declaration of love from the other person.
But in love with another
Realizing the other person's love for someone else.
Expecting I would understand
Expressing an expectation of understanding despite the difficult situation.
When you know
Pointing out the impracticality of the expected understanding.
That would not work
Anticipating vocal reactions to the situation.
And I would surely be so vocal
Expressing contemplation of a break in the relationship.
Contemplating for a break
Considering a break for personal well-being.
Cos for my own peace of mind
Linking the break to maintaining personal peace of mind.
I'm gon' really need a break
Stating the need for a break to piece oneself together.
Just to piece myself together
Reflecting on emotional damage caused by the other person.
You stabbed my heart with a rake
Describing emotional pain inflicted by the other person.
And its only now I felt the pain
Realizing the depth of emotional pain after some time.
Oh that pain
Expressing the intense emotional pain experienced.
Oh it really hurts (It hurts)
Reiterating the profound emotional hurt.
Opened all of me to you
Being emotionally vulnerable and open to the other person.
But you lied
Discovering deception or falsehood from the other person.
And even God knows that I really tried
Asserting sincere efforts and commitment, even acknowledged by a higher power.
How I pledged to be there for you
Promising availability and support when needed.
Whenever you called
Recalling a commitment to be present for the other person.
Beats me
Expressing confusion or disbelief about the current situation.
Now I'm sitting here thinking
Reflecting on the current state of mind.
If you truly ever loved me?
Questioning the sincerity of the other person's love.
De'javu, de'javu
Repeating the deja vu theme.
I think that I've been here
Reiterating a sense of familiarity in the current experience.
Before with you
Emphasizing the connection with a past situation involving the listener.
I said de'javu, de'javu
Repetition of the deja vu feeling.
He looks like you
Noting similarities between someone new and someone known in the past.
(That's what she said)
Quoting a statement made by someone else regarding the similarity.
De'javu, de'javu
Repetition of the deja vu theme.
I think that I've been here
Recalling a past connection or relationship.
Before with you
Reiteration of the sense of familiarity with the current situation.
I said de'javu, de'javu
Emphasizing the repeated feeling of deja vu.
He looks like you
Noticing similarities between the current person and someone from the past.
(That's what she said)
Quoting a statement made by someone else regarding the similarity.
