Headlights
Illuminating Desires: Headlights by We Are Scientists Unveiled
Lyrics
I point
I am directing attention or focus.
My headlights
Referring to the illumination of a vehicle.
At you
The focus is on someone specific.
I point
Reiteration of directing attention.
My headlights
Reiteration of vehicle headlights symbolizing attention.
At you
Repetition for emphasis.
Now what'cha getting into?
Questioning what the person is involving themselves in.
Before you get in too far
Cautioning against going too deep into a situation.
Because whatever you do
Regardless of actions, expressing interest.
And whatever you are
Affirming interest regardless of the person's identity.
I want my headlights on you
Emphasizing the desire to focus attention on the person.
I point (point)
Repetition for emphasis.
My (my) head (head) lights (lights)
Breaking down the components: pointing headlights at the person.
At you
Reiteration of directing attention with details.
I point (point my headlights)
Repetition for emphasis.
My headlights (point my headlights)
Explicitly stating the act of pointing headlights.
At you (point my headlights)
Confirming the focus on the specific person.
Don't know what'cha getting into
Reiteration of caution about involvement.
Before you get in too far
Warning against deep commitment.
Beause whatever you do
Reiteration of interest irrespective of actions.
And whatever you are
Affirming focus on the person regardless of identity.
I want my headlights on you
Reaffirming the desire to focus attention on the person.
I don't mind the dark 'cause I want you to be
Expressing a willingness to navigate difficulties for the person.
The only thing I see
Desiring the person to be the sole focus in challenging times.
And I want your headlights
Reciprocal desire for the person's attention.
On me
Expressing a wish for the person to focus attention reciprocally.
Now what'cha getting into
Reiteration of caution about involvement.
Before you get in too far
Warning against deep commitment.
Because whatever you do
Reiteration of interest irrespective of actions.
And whoever you are
Affirming focus on the person regardless of identity.
I want my headlights on you
Reaffirming the desire to focus attention on the person.
I want my headlights on you
Final expression of the desire to direct attention towards the person.
