Play Me Again
Melodic Yearning: Unraveling the Emotion in Tanita Tikaram's 'Play Me Again'
Lyrics
You've got me going, for all your lies
You've captivated me with your deceitful words
You've got me going, the hoop is wide
You've given me hope, but the chances are vast
I keep believing, and what have I gained?
Despite the disappointment, I continue to believe; what have I achieved?
So play me again
Requesting to play the song again
You've got me running, all over town
You have me moving around the city
You've got me running, so deep am I bound
I am deeply entangled and committed to this pursuit
To talk of love is only to flatter
Speaking of love is merely a form of flattery
Play me again
Requesting to play the song again
Please play me again
Emphasizing the desire for a repeated play
In the night time's wandering, that's where I hide
In the night, I find solace and concealment
For in its blush I am alive
In the night's blush, I feel alive
Searching for your light
Seeking your illumination
Searching for you light
Continuation of the search for your light
In the beginning, the word is hot
At the beginning, the expression is intense
Now I see the ruin, but I can't stop
Now witnessing the destruction, but unable to halt
For I'm so sentimental
Driven by sentimentality
Play me again
Requesting to play the song again
Play me again
Reiteration of the desire for a repeated play
Play me again
Further emphasis on the request to play the song again
Play me again, let me fall through your hands
Requesting to play the song again and allowing oneself to be vulnerable
