You Are Nice!
Agua de Annique Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Paradise
I say it only twice
Man you are nice
Your skin soft like veil
Warm but pale
Fascinating
I'll blow you out of my mind
Damn you are fine
Your skin soft like veil
Warm but pale
Oh you are sweet
Sweep me off my feet
Oh you are nice
Para-holy-nice
I'll say it only twice
Man you are nice
The song "You Are Nice!" by Agua de Annique is a simple yet powerful ode to a loved one. The lyrics are straightforward and repetitive, but the emotion behind them is palpable. The opening line "Oh you are nice" sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the singer describes the many qualities that make this person so special.
The second line "Paradise" suggests that being around this person feels like being in paradise. The repetition of "I say it only twice" emphasizes the singer's shyness or hesitancy to express their feelings openly. The chorus then repeats the phrase "Man you are nice" with variations such as "Para-holy-nice" to convey just how much this person means to them.
The second verse continues describing the person's physical qualities, such as their soft skin and warm but pale complexion. The line "I'll blow you out of my mind" could be interpreted as wanting to remove that person from their thoughts, but more likely it means that they are blown away by this person's greatness. The final two lines "Oh you are sweet/Sweep me off my feet" further emphasize the singer's infatuation with this person. Overall, the song portrays a sense of awe and admiration for someone who is truly special in the singer's eyes.
