The Sound
ANDREWBATES Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, baby, won't you cum again?
You said, "I've got a problem with your shoes
And your tunes, but I might move in
I thought that you were straight, now I'm wondering"
You're so conceited, I said, "I love you"
What does it matter if I lie to you?
So don't you tell me that you just don't get it
'Cause I know you do
And I know when you're around 'cause I know the sound
I know the sound of your heart
Well I know when you're around 'cause I know the sound
I know the sound of your heart
And I know when you're around 'cause I know the sound
I know the sound of your heart
Well I know when you're around 'cause I know the sound
I know the sound of your heart
I know the sound of your heart
It's not about reciprocation, it's just all about me
A sycophantic, prophetic, Socratic junkie wannabe
And there's so much skin to see
A simple epicurean philosophy
Oh, and you say (you say)
I'm such a cliché
I can't see the difference in it either way
And we left things to protect my mental health
But you'll call me when you're bored and you play yourself
You're so conceited, I said, "I love you"
What does it matter if I lie to you?
I don't regret it but I'm glad that we're through
So don't you tell me that you just don't get it
'Cause I know you do
And I know when you're around 'cause I know the sound
I know the sound of your heart
Well I know when you're around 'cause I know the sound
I know the sound of your heart
And I know when you're around 'cause I know the sound
I know the sound of your heart
Well I know when you're around 'cause I know the sound
I know the sound of your heart
I know the sound of your heart
In "The Sound" by ANDREWBATES, the lyrics capture a tumultuous relationship and the conflicting emotions that arise from it. The song begins with a sense of forgetfulness, as the singer admits to forgetting the person's name but also desires their presence once again, using a sexual innuendo to express their longing. The next lines hint at potential judgment from the other person, mentioning issues with the singer's shoes and music choices, which makes them question the other person's sexual orientation.
However, the singer reveals that despite any criticisms, they are still in love with the person, even if it means lying to them. They express a lack of regret for the relationship ending, but also a relief to be free from it. The refrain, "I know the sound of your heart," suggests that the singer has become attuned to the other person's emotions and can recognize their presence.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's self-centered nature, describing themselves as someone who craves flattery and validation. They acknowledge that they are a cliché but struggle to see the difference in their behavior. The mention of leaving things to protect their mental health implies that the relationship was toxic or damaging. However, the other person always reaches out when they are bored, further playing into the singer's insecurities and need for attention.
Overall, "The Sound" explores themes of love, self-awareness, and the complexities of relationships. It portrays a dynamic where both individuals have their flaws and struggle with their own insecurities, creating a complex and emotionally charged narrative.
