In The Way
Alana Watson/Nero Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Not in the way you feel
It's in the things that you do
I knew you weren't for real
You made a point of it

Not in the way you feel
It's in the things that you do
I knew you weren't for real
You made a point of it

Not in the way you feel

You made a point of it





Not in the way you feel

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "In the Way" by Nero, featuring Alana Watson, are a contemplation of a strained relationship. The singer is communicating that they understand that their partner's feelings towards them have changed and they are no longer desired. However, it's not just the emotions that the partner exhibits, but their actions that make it apparent that the relationship is not genuine. The singer reflects on how they knew that the love their partner professed was not genuine as the partner made a point to show it through their actions.


The lyrics suggest a sense of resignation and acceptance of the situation. It's a painful realization, but the singer acknowledges it with a sense of clarity. The song's chorus is simple yet effective in conveying the message. Repeating the line "Not in the way you feel, it's in the things that you do," hammers home the point that actions speak louder than words. The lyrics are set to a simple yet powerful beat that helps create a somber yet contemplative mood.


Overall, "In the Way" presents a relatable scenario where one person realizes the truth about their partner's feelings towards them through their actions. It's a song that speaks to the painful experiences of relationships that end and the importance of not just saying what we think the other person wants to hear, but also taking the appropriate action to back it up.
