Subway
Aá¹£a Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every day is not a holiday
My life’s like a subway
Oh I know this love don’t last

Look at me tell me what you see
Do you believe this love is real
Oh I know this love don’t last
I have come from faraway
To see this go down the drain

I have waited patiently
And this is what I get
Emotionally failing me

My whole wild world is caving in
I try so hard to express myself
but The woman in me
o o o don’t fade away

My mama say baby be careful
If any body comes to say I love o o o
My papa say baby I warn you
If anybody comes to say I love you

Now you asking me to trust you
Tell me how am I supposed to
When I know this love don’t last

Could this be the kind of love?
That my mum use to warn me about How will I know
that this love will last.

I have come from far away
To see this go down the drain
I have got so much to give

But I don’t know what I’ll get
Emotionally failing me
My whole wild world is caving in

I try so hard to express my self
but The woman in me don’t fade away.

My mama say baby be careful
If any body comes to say I love o o o
My papa say baby I warn you
If anybody comes to say I love you

Yeah Yeah

My mama say baby be careful
If any body comes to say I love o o o




My papa say baby I warn you
If anybody comes to say I love you

Overall Meaning

The song "Subway" by Aá¹£a is a poignant and melancholic reflection on the uncertainty and fragility of love. The song's lyrics speak of the everyday struggles of life and compares it to the inconsistent and unpredictable nature of love. The opening lines, "Every day is not a holiday, my life’s like a subway", sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the artist ruminates about the challenges of love.


The chorus of the song highlights the underlying theme of the song, that love is not forever. Aá¹£a repeatedly sings, "Oh I know this love don’t last", a sad acknowledgement that even though love is beautiful, it can be fleeting. The lyrics also touch upon the vulnerability that comes with love, with lines like "My whole wild world is caving in" and "Emotionally failing me".


The song's verses are also poignant, with Aá¹£a hinting at past experiences with love that have not ended well. The lines "I have come from faraway, to see this go down the drain" suggest that the artist has made sacrifices to be in this relationship, only to see it come to an end. The song ends with the haunting repetition of the lines, "My mama say baby be careful, If anybody comes to say I love you", warning of the potential heartbreak that comes with falling in love.
