Bet She Looks Like You
Nick Hakim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I would die inside if you ever stopped the dreaming
With your breath
Oh, when you breathe
I feel like my eyes took fee
If there's a God
I wonder what she looks like
I bet she looks like you
I bet she looks like you
I wish that life would release the tree
Or you could put me to sleep
Forever and ever
The lyrics to Nick Hakim's song I Bet She Looks Like You seem to convey the depth of love and admiration the singer holds for his significant other. The first line, "My veins are the roots of this tree," implies the vital importance of his lover in his life, with their presence serving as the foundation of his existence. He also mentions the fear of losing that love, saying "I would die inside if you ever stopped the dreaming." This could be interpreted as the fear of losing the shared dream or vision they have for their future as a couple.
The next few lines seem to describe the physical sensations he experiences when he is close to his lover. He says "With your breath, oh, when you breathe, I feel like my eyes took fee," suggesting that their very presence has a powerful effect on his body, almost overwhelming him with emotion.
The final lines, "If there's a God, I wonder what she looks like, I bet she looks like you" show the singer's belief in his partner's perfection. He equates their love to a higher power and seems to think that his significant other has qualities that are divine in nature. Finally, he expresses a desire to be with his lover forever, even if it means being asleep forever, implying that he cannot imagine a life without them.
