Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How can I ever deny
You got me so high
So high I cannot feel the fire
And you keep telling me
Telling me that you’ll be sweet
And you’ll never want to leave my side
As long as I don’t break these
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
You got me so wild
Why should I be so surprised?
You got me so high
Don’t you see it in my eyes?
And you keep telling me
Telling me that you’ll be sweet
And you’ll never want to leave my side
As long as I don’t break these
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
The song "Promises" by Nero is about being in a relationship where one person is intoxicated with the other and is willing to make promises to keep the relationship intact, even though those promises may be hard to keep. The lyrics suggest that the singer is deeply in love with their partner and is willing to do anything to keep the relationship going, but they feel that their promises are pointless and meaningless. The repeated chorus of "Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself" indicates that the singer may have doubts about their ability to keep their promises, and may feel that the relationship is doomed to fail.
The music video for "Promises" depicts a dystopian world where a group of rebels are trying to overthrow a totalitarian regime. The rebels use music as a means of resistance, with Nero's performance being broadcast on pirate radio stations throughout the city. The themes of rebellion and resistance in the music video reflect the underlying message of the song, which is about someone who is struggling to maintain their identity and autonomy in the context of a relationship.
Overall, "Promises" is a powerful song that explores the complex emotions and dynamics of romantic relationships. Its catchy beat and memorable lyrics have made it a popular song among electronic dance music fans, and its lasting popularity is a testament to the universal appeal of its message.

You got me so wild
You've stirred up intense emotions within me
How can I ever deny
I am unable to resist you
You got me so high
You've raised me to a euphoric state
So high I cannot feel the fire
My heightened emotions are shielding me from pain
And you keep telling me
You repeatedly assure me
Telling me that you’ll be sweet
You promise to treat me kindly
And you’ll never want to leave my side
You guarantee that you won't abandon me
As long as I don’t break these promises
You maintain your commitment is conditional upon me keeping my word
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Despite my efforts, my promises seem futile and ineffective
They are so wasted on myself
My promises are not fulfilling their intended purpose

Lyrics:
You got me so wild.
How can I ever deny?
You got me so high.
So high I cannot feel the fire. And you keep telling me, telling me that you'll be sweet. And you never wanna leave my side. As long as I don't break these, promises and they still feel all so wasted on myself. Promises and they still feel all so wasted on myself promises. And they still feel all so wasted on myself promises. And they still feel all so wasted on myself.
You got me so wild.
Why should I be so surprised? You got me so high. Don't you see it in my eyes? And you keep telling me.Telling me that you'll be sweet. And you never wanna leave my side. As long as I don't break these. Promises and they still feel all so wasted on myself. Promises and they still feel all so wasted on myself promises. And they still feel all so wasted on myself promises. And they still feel all so wasted on myself.
They are so wasted on myself.
They are so wasted on myself.
They are so wasted on myself.
They are so wasted on myself.
They are so wasted on myself.
They are so wasted on myself.
They are so wasted on myself.
They are so wasted on myself.
They are so wasted on myself.
Promises and they still feel all so wasted on myself. Promises and they still feel all
so wasted on myself.
Promises and they still feel all so wasted on myself.
Promises and they still feel all so wasted on myself.
