Yes I Did
Heavenly Revelations: Love, Escape, and Life's Celebrations in 'Yes I Did'
Lyrics
Oh, you look at me that way girl
Expressing feeling hurt by the way the girl looks at the speaker.
It cuts me to the core
Her gaze deeply affects the speaker emotionally.
I came into this world a boy
The speaker was born male.
It's the way I was born
Referencing the speaker's natural gender identity.
Don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with us
Asking not to judge negatively for loving someone with a similar identity.
Playing games all day and set to self destruct
Suggesting a history of engaging in destructive behavior or relationships.
I feel so clean but the blood's not clean
Feeling internally conflicted despite appearing outwardly clean.
The voice is familiar
Hearing a familiar voice, indicating recognition or familiarity.
Something that will make you laugh
Possessing something humorous or enjoyable.
I've got something that will make you cry
Possessing something emotional or upsetting.
I heard you driving down my road
Noticing someone approaching or arriving.
Yes I did
Affirming that the speaker noticed the person passing by.
Up in heaven, driving down my road
Metaphorically referring to someone's presence in a heavenly manner.
Yes I did
Reiterating noticing the person in a heavenly context.
I am awake now yes
Being fully aware or conscious now.
I get up off the bed
Getting out of bed, possibly symbolizing readiness to act.
I will escape now yes
Desire or decision to depart or escape.
Somethings better left unsaid
Some things are better left unspoken or undisclosed.
You know the world don't need another man like this
Expressing dissatisfaction with typical masculine behavior or roles.
And you can send the hitman to me
Openly inviting consequences for rejecting traditional male roles.
And I will take it to go
Willingness to accept consequences or punishment.
If you know how I mean
Asking if the listener understands the intention.
Feel so clean but the blood's not clean
Feeling conflicted despite an outwardly clean appearance.
And the voice is familiar
Hearing a familiar voice again, suggesting repeated encounters.
But this time
Indicating a change or different perspective this time.
I just want to have fun
Expressing a desire for enjoyment or pleasure.
Because this time
Highlighting the celebratory feeling of the moment.
Feels like a celebration
Next time
Implying a suggestion for future improvement in handling situations.
You aught to sharpen that knife
Advising someone to prepare better for future challenges.
This time
Emphasizing having the remainder of life ahead.
You've got the rest of that life
Yeah, this time
Expressing a desire for enjoyment or pleasure.
I just want to have fun
Reiterating the celebratory feeling of the moment.
'Cause this time
Feels like a celebration
Suggesting the current situation feels like a joyous occasion.
I heard you driving down my road
Reiterating the speaker's acknowledgment of someone's presence.
Yes I did
Metaphorically referring to someone's presence in a heavenly manner again.
Up in heaven driving down my road
Continuing to notice someone's heavenly presence metaphorically.
Yes I did
