YES
Aereogramme Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not that that matters when I
Couldn't stay
Yes sir, we were almost in line
Blinded I was
Yet I took my time
It's beautiful
Your hair is on fire
Your lips are unscathed
These people are nothing
And I've got to moan
It's shit now you're only one hour away
The lyrics of Aereogramme's song "Yes" carry with them a sense of longing, confusion, and desperation. The opening line sets the tone with "It's shit now you're only one hour away," highlighting the singer's disappointment with their current state of being. Whether it's a physical distance between two people or an emotional distance, the singer seems to be struggling with the idea of not being able to stay connected.
Despite this, the singer reflects on the nearness of a brighter outcome, with the line "Yes sir, we were almost in line." However, they also acknowledge their own blindness in the moment, stating "Blinded I was, yet I took my time." This could suggest a potential missed opportunity or a decision that led to a less-than-desirable outcome.
Later in the song, the singer appears to be addressing someone directly, highlighting their physical attributes with "Your hair is on fire / Your lips are unscathed." This could potentially reference a romantic interest, with the singer feeling drawn to their partner's passionate nature despite the obstacles they face. The song concludes with the powerful line "These people are nothing / And I've got to moan," highlighting the idea that no matter what happens externally, ultimately it is our own feelings and reactions that matter most.
