Whatever They Say
Unveiling Night's Secrets: A Journey Beyond Words with Jan Metternich
Lyrics
Everybody saying that it’s far to go
Expressing the belief that there's a long journey ahead.
But I ain’t never ever gonna take it slow
Determined not to slow down or take things at a leisurely pace.
They keep saying it all night long
People repeatedly suggesting or commenting throughout the night.
But I just wanna play that one last song
Desire to play one final song, perhaps symbolizing a last chance or moment.
I remember you passing by
Recollection of a person passing by.
You were walking down the streets and I
Observing someone walking down the streets.
I was waiting for the whole last time
Waiting for a significant period.
Trying not to get involved in crime
Attempting to avoid getting involved in criminal activities.
I started from the bottom
Started from a challenging position and now in a better place.
Look where we are
Reflecting on progress and current achievements.
Them hating on me, but I came so far
Despite facing criticism, the artist has come a long way.
I do not stick to genres
Not restricted to a specific music genre.
I just do what I want
Following personal desires rather than conforming to expectations.
I put some 808 on a love song
Adding bass (808) to a love song, blending different elements.
I know I said some things, that I cannot take back
Regret for saying things that cannot be undone.
And I hope that you will listen to that
Hoping for understanding and forgiveness.
I wish I could turn back time
Expressing a desire to turn back time.
I don’t have another try
Feeling a lack of second chances.
I know, that you know, we belong together
A mutual understanding of belonging together.
Whatever they say
Reaffirming commitment despite external opinions.
You’re the reason why
Reiterating that the person is the reason for the artist's persistence.
You’re the reason why
-You’re the reason why
-I’m still here tonight
Remaining present in the moment.
You can turn off the light
Suggesting simplicity and clarity, perhaps in the relationship.
You just see black and white
-Stars shining bright, we see satellites
Symbolic imagery of stars and satellites in the night sky.
You’re the first one
Emphasizing the uniqueness and authenticity of the person.
You’re the first one
-For real the first one, I show what I feel
-I wanna escape the life I’m still in
Expressing a desire to escape current circumstances for a break.
Need a little break and get away
-More than 100 things I woulda change
Regret for numerous things that could have been changed.
Can’t continue to hide that
Recognizing the need to confront and not hide certain issues.
She is never gonna love me but it’s alright
Acknowledging unrequited love but accepting it.
All she wanna do is party all night
Noting the other person's preference for partying.
She doesn’t even care who I am
Realizing the person might not care about the artist's identity.
But I don’t think it’s the end
Optimism about the situation not being the end.
I know, that you know, we belong together
Reiteration of the mutual understanding of belonging together.
Whatever they say
Reaffirming commitment despite external opinions.
You’re the reason why
Reiterating that the person is the reason for the artist's persistence.
You’re the reason why
-You’re the reason why
-I’m still here tonight
Remaining present in the moment.
You can turn off the light
Suggesting simplicity and clarity, perhaps in the relationship.
You just see black and white
-Stars shining bright, we see satellites
Symbolic imagery of stars and satellites in the night sky.
You’re the first one
Emphasizing the uniqueness and authenticity of the person.
You’re the first one
-For real the first one, I show what I feel
