Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Okay you got me, I'm bitter that you're happy with her
Thinking about it trying to keep down my dinner
Patiently I wait, puppeteering fate
Now I'm acting like a saint
When you're asking for a sinner, oh
Hourglass, when do you have to leave
Grip your clothes and sew them to my sheets
Nothing to do till I die

Let's hold hands in the meantime
A little privacy please
Couldn't you wait for everyone to leave
Before you open your mouth and let whatever comes out
Take hold of my sanity, go on and give it a squeeze
(Ba duh ba, everybody loves me)
The ice cracks as I pour my hot, hot heart out
Into a glass and beg you to shot it
But I take it you're driving by the way you forgot it
Oh and I'm cute, I'm funny, everybody loves me
You say you ain't found what I got in anybody
But all our kisses are kisses goodbye
Nothing to do till I die
Let's hold hands in the meantime
A little privacy please
Couldn't you wait for everyone to leave
Before you open your mouth and let whatever comes out
Take hold of my sanity, go on and give it a
Give it a, give it a...
Ba duh ba, everybody loves me
Ba duh ba, everybody loves me
Ba duh ba, everybody loves me
Ba duh ba, everybody loves me
Ba duh ba, everybody loves me
Ba duh ba, everybody loves me
Ba duh ba, everybody loves me
Ba duh ba, everybody loves me
Ba duh ba, everybody loves me
Ba duh ba, everybody loves me
Ba duh ba, everybody loves me
Ba duh ba, everybody loves me
Ba duh ba, everybody loves me
Ba duh ba, everybody loves me
Ba duh ba, everybody loves me
Ba duh ba, everybody loves me
Ba duh ba, everybody loves me
Ba duh ba, everybody loves me
Ba duh ba, everybody loves me
Ba duh ba, everybody loves me
Ba duh ba, everybody loves me
Ba duh ba, everybody loves me
I understand that your only plan
Is to chew me up and spit me out

But could you gnaw a little longer
Because it's warm in your mouth

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Give Love" by AKMU depict a sense of bitterness and resentment towards someone who is now happy with another person. The singer expresses their frustration, feeling unable to conceal their emotions and struggling to accept this new reality. They portray themselves as waiting patiently for an opportunity to prove themselves as a better choice, even though they may not necessarily be virtuous. The mention of an hourglass signifies the limited time they have to make their move, while also expressing a desire for a lasting connection.

The lyricist yearns for intimacy and privacy, wishing for a moment alone with the person they desire. There is a sense of jealousy and frustration towards the timing of their interactions, as they wish for the other person to wait until they are alone. The plea for privacy highlights their longing for exclusivity in their relationship. This insinuates that the singer's emotional state is fragile, and any external interference could jeopardize their sanity.

The lyrics also showcase the singer's vulnerability and the pain they feel, comparing their heart to a fragile glass. They pour their emotions out, offering their heart to the listener, hoping that it will be appreciated and reciprocated. However, the indication that the other person has "forgotten" the heart suggests a lack of interest or disregard for the singer's affection. The contrast between the singer's cute and funny demeanor, which allegedly makes everyone love them, and the fact that their kisses are ultimately goodbye, implies a sense of loneliness and unfulfilled relationships.

The final lines of the song reveal a sense of resignation and acceptance of the situation. Although the singer acknowledges that they are being used and discarded, they ask the other person to prolong their exploitation and stay with them a little longer. This suggests a desperate need for the warmth and connection they feel when they are in the presence of the person they desire, regardless of the circumstances.

Overall, "Give Love" explores themes of unrequited love, jealousy, and longing for emotional and physical intimacy. The lyrics vividly convey the singer's emotional turmoil, as they navigate their complicated feelings towards someone who seems to have moved on.

Line by Line Meaning

Okay you got me, I'm bitter that you're happy with her
I admit that I feel resentful because you're enjoying your time with someone else

Thinking about it trying to keep down my dinner
I can't help but think about it, even though it makes me feel nauseous

Patiently I wait, puppeteering fate
I wait patiently, trying to control the outcome as if I have control over destiny

Now I'm acting like a saint
Currently, I'm behaving in a righteous manner

When you're asking for a sinner, oh
Even though you seek someone who is more rebellious or sinful

Hourglass, when do you have to leave
Hourglass, can you please delay your departure

Grip your clothes and sew them to my sheets
Hold onto your clothes tightly and attach them to my bed sheets

Nothing to do till I die
I have nothing to occupy myself until I die

Let's hold hands in the meantime
Let's grasp each other's hands while we wait

A little privacy please
I request a small amount of solitude

Couldn't you wait for everyone to leave
Wouldn't it be better if you waited until there is no one else around

Before you open your mouth and let whatever comes out
Before you speak without filtering your thoughts

Take hold of my sanity, go on and give it a squeeze
Grasp my sanity firmly and exert pressure on it

(Ba duh ba, everybody loves me)
(Ba duh ba, everyone adores me)

The ice cracks as I pour my hot, hot heart out
The coldness dissipates as I express my intense emotions

Into a glass and beg you to shot it
Into a glass, urging you to consume it quickly

But I take it you're driving by the way you forgot it
Based on the fact that you forgot about it, I assume you're preoccupied with something else

Oh and I'm cute, I'm funny, everybody loves me
Oh, and I possess attractiveness and humor, which makes everyone adore me

You say you ain't found what I got in anybody
You claim that you haven't encountered someone with the qualities I possess in anyone else

But all our kisses are kisses goodbye
However, every kiss between us is a farewell kiss

Nothing to do till I die
I have nothing to occupy myself until I die

Let's hold hands in the meantime
Let's grasp each other's hands while we wait

A little privacy please
I request a small amount of solitude

Couldn't you wait for everyone to leave
Wouldn't it be better if you waited until there is no one else around

Before you open your mouth and let whatever comes out
Before you speak without filtering your thoughts

Take hold of my sanity, go on and give it a
Grasp my sanity firmly and exert pressure on it

Give it a, give it a...
Exert pressure on it, exert pressure on it...

Ba duh ba, everybody loves me
Ba duh ba, everyone adores me

I understand that your only plan
I comprehend that your sole intention

Is to chew me up and spit me out
Is to consume me and then discard me

But could you gnaw a little longer
However, could you continue to chew on me for a bit longer

Because it's warm in your mouth
Because being in your mouth provides a comforting sensation
