Multiplies
A Guy Called Gerald Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You look at me but what do you see
Who I am or who you'll have me be
I don't know what else I can give
Sometimes live and let live

Down the corridor
You leave me wanting more
Looking back I'm on my knees
You never tease you just release
And with these chains you set me free
And with these chains you set me free

Everything about me multiplies
The stars and the shadows in your eyes
Ask you if you'll love me one more time
You say I do love you love you

I tell myself I'll leave when I choose
I ask myself I have a good snooze
These questions never go away
They burn like an eternal flame

Down the corridor said you wanted more
Looking back I'm on my knees
You never tease you just release
With these chains you set me free
And with these chains you set me free

Everything about me multiplies
The stars and the shadows in your eyes
Ask you if you'll love me one more time
You say I do love you love you

And with these chains you set me free
With these chains you set me free





And down the corridor

Overall Meaning

The song "Multiplies" by A Guy Called Gerald explores the idea of identity and the struggle to maintain one's true self in a relationship. The opening lines, "You look at me but what do you see / Who I am or who you'll have me be," depict the uncertainty and pressure one can feel to conform to their partner's expectations. The singer expresses a sense of exhaustion, stating "I don't know what else I can give / Sometimes live and let live," indicating a desire for acceptance and understanding.


As the song progresses, the singer references being "on their knees," suggesting a position of vulnerability and submission within the relationship. However, they also acknowledge that their partner "never tease[s], [they] just release," suggesting a sense of safety and comfort in the relationship. The use of the metaphor of chains being a means of freedom further emphasizes the complexity and contradiction of the relationship.


The chorus, which repeats the phrase "Everything about me multiplies / The stars and the shadows in your eyes / Ask you if you'll love me one more time / You say I do love you love you," portrays a sense of desperation and uncertainty in the singer's desire to be loved and accepted. The refrain of "And with these chains you set me free" further emphasizes the paradoxical nature of the relationship, highlighting the idea that while one may feel trapped, they also feel a sense of liberation in their partner's love.


Line by Line Meaning

You look at me but what do you see
You gaze upon me, but do you perceive my true identity or the version of myself that you desire?


Who I am or who you'll have me be
Is my true self enough for you, or do you wish to shape me into someone else?


I don't know what else I can give
I feel as though I have nothing left to offer you.


Sometimes live and let live
Perhaps it is best for us to focus on our own lives and let each other be.


Down the corridor
Moving to another location


You leave me wanting more
Your presence fills me with a desire for more.


Looking back I'm on my knees
Reflecting on the past, I feel as though I am begging for more.


You never tease you just release
You never play games with me, you simply offer yourself to me freely.


And with these chains you set me free
Despite the restraints that bind us, you manage to grant me freedom.


Everything about me multiplies
My entire being expands and grows in your presence.


The stars and the shadows in your eyes
Your eyes convey both light and darkness, which I find captivating.

I question if your love for me is still present and sincere.


You say I do love you love you
You respond with a simple affirmation of your love for me.

I ask myself I have a good snooze
I question my own thoughts and logic, even in moments of relaxation.


These questions never go away
My doubts and inquiries continue to plague me and remain unresolved.


They burn like an eternal flame
The intensity of my questions is unyielding, much like a perpetually burning flame.


And down the corridor
Once again, I move to another location.


With these chains you set me free
Once more, I find that despite the restraints between us, you give me a sense of liberation.


And with these chains you set me free
Reinforcing the previous sentiment, I again find that you free me from my limitations.

You look at me but what do you see
Who I am or who you'll have me be
I don't know what else I can give
Sometimes live and let live

Down the corridor
You leave me wanting more
Looking back I'm on my knees
You never tease you just release
And with these chains you set me free
And with these chains you set me free

Everything about me multiplies
The stars and the shadows in your eyes
Ask you if you'll love me one more time
You say I do love you love you

I tell myself I'll leave when I choose
I ask myself I have a good snooze
These questions never go away
They burn like an eternal flame

Down the corridor said you wanted more
Looking back I'm on my knees
You never tease you just release
With these chains you set me free
And with these chains you set me free

Everything about me multiplies
The stars and the shadows in your eyes
Ask you if you'll love me one more time
You say I do love you love you

And with these chains you set me free
With these chains you set me free

And down the corridor
