Body Language
Kali Uchis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
I wanna go if you want to go
I'm sick and tired of talking
Told you everything you need to know
'Cause the rest is in the body language
Do you hear me?
Can you feel me now?
Yeah, the rest is in the body language
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Didn't wanna have to do it
Didn't wanna be the one to say
Never wanted to go through it
I think about it most everyday
Now I'm packing all my bags and I am leaving it behind
There's no tracking where I'm going
There's no me for them to find
Just come closer, closer, closer, closer, closer
I wanna know who you are
Just come closer, closer, closer, closer, closer
The lyrics to Kali Uchis's song "Body Language" convey a sense of frustration in a relationship where the speaker has given all they can to communicate with their partner verbally but feels like they are not being heard. They want to know if their partner wants to be with them, and if so, they are ready to go wherever their partner wants to go. However, the speaker is tired of talking and feels like they have said everything they need to say. The rest of the communication they believe should be through body language, which can convey so much more than words can.
The speaker acknowledges that sometimes words are not enough, and there are things that are better said through nonverbal cues. They plead with their partner, asking if they can hear them and feel them. The speaker seems to be at a turning point in their relationship, admitting that they never wanted to be the one to say it, but they realize they have to leave. They are packing their bags and moving on, wanting to know who their partner really is and asking them to come closer.

I'm an artist, and listening to the same good song over and over makes me concentrate. I dig what you're saying.

I loveee the sounds in this song. It feels like I’m entreating a bar centered in Spain, filled with life and romance

The sound has nothing to do with spain. Bossa Nova a mix of Afro-Brazilian Samba and Afro-American Jazz

She sampled Astrud Gilberto - wanting things. I’ve been searching for this sample and finally came across it during casual listening.
