1ST VOWS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eyes still on the road
Been everywhere, away from the norm
And we know
We know
We know.
That we don't belong here
I've thought of leaving
Many times before
And we know
We know
We know.
Couldn't-Couldn't-
Couldn't help but listen
Eyes still on the road
Been everywhere, away from the norm
Heard all the reasons
That we don't belong here
I've thought of leaving
Many times before
Is this place my home?
'Cause I can't settle down.
Tell me where I'm supposed to go when
'Cause I can't settle down.
I can't settle down.
Couldn't help but listen
Eyes still on the road
Been everywhere, away from the norm
Heard all the reasons
That we don't belong here
I've thought of leaving
Many times before
Is this place my home?
'Cause I can't settle down.
Tell me where I'm supposed to go when
'Cause I can't settle down.
I can't settle down.
The song "Eros" by 1ST VOWS is a deeply introspective piece that speaks of the artist's struggle in finding a sense of belonging. The first verse speaks of being on the road but still being attuned to one's surroundings, indicating a sense of restlessness and a longing for connection. The repetition of "we know" in the chorus hints at some shared knowledge or experience between the artist and the listener, perhaps pointing to a collective sense of isolation.
The second verse delves deeper into this feeling of disconnection as the artist hears all the reasons for not belonging and wrestles with thoughts of leaving. The repetition of the chorus reiterates the shared sense of uncertainty and the need for guidance. In the bridge, the artist asks the poignant question, "Is this place my home?" which can be interpreted as a search for a sense of identity and purpose.
Overall, the song is a heartfelt exploration of the human need for connection and a sense of belonging. It speaks to the struggles of finding oneself and finding a place in the world while wrestling with feelings of isolation and uncertainty.
