Vows
Eternal Yearning: Unveiling Love's Complex Dance in Jake Emlyn's 'Vows'
Lyrics
I wanna talk to you now
I want to communicate with you immediately
Keep you around
Desire to keep you in my life
Speak to your soul
Expressing a desire to connect on a deep, spiritual level
Hold you and never let you go
Expressing a strong desire to hold onto you forever
I know I'm the lowest of the low
Acknowledging a sense of low self-worth
For so long I put on a show
Admitting to putting on a facade for an extended period
Just wanna go back home
Expressing a longing to return home
Just wanna go back home
Reiteration of the desire to return home
Why did you call me my love?
Questioning the reason behind being called "my love"
And then ask to let go of us
Confusion about being asked to let go of the relationship
Why do you call it eternal love?
Questioning the concept of eternal love
And then say it's not enough
Contradiction between eternal love and it being insufficient
I chased you till dawn
Relentless pursuit of the person until dawn
Tried to bind you before
Attempts to bind the person in a relationship
But everytime I thought I had you caught
Frustration at the inability to secure the person
The rope was two inches too short
Metaphorical reference to the inability to hold onto the person
I wanna know you more than I do now
Expressing a desire to deepen understanding of the person
I wanna show you the blood in my vows
Willingness to reveal vulnerabilities and deep emotions
Just wanna go back home
Reiterating the longing to go back home
Just wanna go back home
Emphasizing the desire to return home
Why did you call me my love?
Repetition of questioning being called "my love"
And then ask to let go of us
Confusion about being asked to let go of the relationship
Why do you call it eternal love?
Repetition of questioning the concept of eternal love
And then say it's not enough
Contradiction between eternal love and it being insufficient
Why did you call me my love?
Repetition of questioning being called "my love"
Was it you or all of your lust?
Uncertainty whether the affection is genuine or driven by lust
Why do you call it eternal love?
Questioning the concept of eternal love
And then say it's not enough
Contradiction between eternal love and it being insufficient
Let me tie you up, just spare me your mercy
Expressing a desire for control and pleading for mercy
This time my love, don't make me put up a fight
Requesting not to engage in a struggle this time
At least let me hold you tonight
Pleading to at least hold the person for the night
If I try enough, give me your word
Seeking assurance or commitment
If I die tonight and don't see you after this life
Contemplating the possibility of not seeing the person after death
At least let me hold you tonight
Pleading to at least hold the person for the night
Why did you call me my love?
Repetition of questioning being called "my love"
And then ask to let go of us
Confusion about being asked to let go of the relationship
Why do you call it eternal love?
Repetition of questioning the concept of eternal love
And then say it's not enough
Contradiction between eternal love and it being insufficient
Why did you call me my love?
Repetition of questioning being called "my love"
Was it you or all of your lust?
Uncertainty whether the affection is genuine or driven by lust
Why do you call it eternal love?
Questioning the concept of eternal love
And then say it's not enough
Contradiction between eternal love and it being insufficient
I know I need to do more
Acknowledging the need for more effort
Please forgive my brute force
Apologizing for forceful actions, seeking forgiveness
Shouldn't say I'm yours
Advising against claiming ownership
Shouldn't say I'm yours
Repetition of advising against claiming ownership
