Under You
Beneath Desires: Unveiling the Intimate Symphony of 'Under You'
Lyrics
I'd like to be slightly less than six feet under you
I desire to be close to you, just beneath you, but not completely submerged or overwhelmed.
Can we see eye to eye or am I only see through
Am I able to understand you fully, or am I transparent and easily overlooked?
Ooh, ooh
(Refrain) Expressing emotions or excitement, possibly in response to the subject of the lyrics.
I do not peek- I'm not a sneak- but Lord, you wash your hair for hours
I don't spy or sneak, but I observe you dedicating a significant amount of time washing your hair.
I trace letters in the steam that fogs the mirror near your shower
I write letters on the steam-covered mirror while you shower, indicating a close, personal connection.
Ooh, ooh
(Refrain) Reiteration of emotional expression.
Just yesterday I heard you say, "Lately, I swear it feels I'm
Recently, you mentioned feeling a constant presence, as if never alone.
"Never alone, it's like there's someone with me all of the time"
Emphasizing the persistent sense of companionship or an unseen presence.
Ooh, ooh
(Refrain) Repeating the expression of emotions or excitement.
I feel your things, your silver rings, sometimes put them out of place
I interact with your belongings, subtly disturbing them, enjoying your reaction of uncertainty and anticipation.
Just to see the look of doubt and excitement on your face
Manipulating your possessions to observe the mix of doubt and excitement on your face.
Is that wrong?
Questioning the morality of these actions.
You hook the latch and strike a match, you light a candle and ask
You engage in rituals like lighting candles, wanting an introduction despite knowing my presence through messages on glass.
"Can we be introduced? I've seen your messages on the glass
Expressing a desire for a formal introduction despite already being familiar with each other.
"I know you, I know you
Reaffirmation of recognition: "I know you."
"You are the wind against my skin when the curtains are still
Describing the intimate connection as the wind against the skin, and the simultaneous feelings of terror and thrill.
"You are that inexplicable feeling of terror and thrill
Highlighting the complex and intense emotions associated with the relationship.
"I know you, I know you"
Repetition of recognition: "I know you."
Now in the house, nobody else, just you and me and the dark
Setting the scene of solitude, emphasizing the intimacy between "you and me" in the dark.
And what I think would probably be the increased beat of my heart
Anticipating an increased heartbeat in the private space shared by the narrator and the subject.
Ooh, ooh
(Refrain) Concluding with emotional expression.
