Soft Connection
L'Altra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will our soft ideas grow old and impossible
When I fall asleep will you help me to wake up
I am the one who waits
I am waiting
I am the one who waits
Will I see you again in accordance (silence is a pardon)
With sympathy (one part sound)
When I call softly (my rescue is uncertain)
You go (softly named)
When I cry like a thief (the same words try us both)
Will you still lie back to me (if I go)
If I tell you would you keep it
Disconnection or connection
If I tell you could you be keeped (keep it to yourself)
Would you be keeped (I cannot see how it will change)
Disconnection or Connection.
I am the one who waits
I am waiting
I am the one who waits
In L'Altra's song Soft Connection, the lyrics explore the uncertainty of a relationship and the fear of potential disconnection. The singer wonders if they will be able to pick up where they left off with their partner and if their soft ideas will become impossible as time goes on. They also express vulnerability and a desire for support, asking if their partner will help them wake up when they fall asleep and if they will still be there for them if they cry like a thief. Throughout the song, the singer identifies as "the one who waits," highlighting their passive role in the relationship and their dependence on the actions of their partner.
The lyrics also touch on themes of communication and trust. The singer asks if their partner will keep their secrets and if they will be able to maintain a connection despite potential disconnection. The repeated refrain of "disconnection or connection" emphasizes the ambiguity and unpredictability of the relationship. The choice between these two options is left unresolved, suggesting that the singer is still grappling with these uncertainties.
