In The Way
Alana Watson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Not in the way you feel
You made a point of it
Not in the way you feel
At first glance, these lyrics may appear to be about a romantic relationship, but upon closer examination, we can see that they are about a dishonest person in Alana Watson's life. The repetition of "not in the way you feel" emphasizes that the singer is not concerned with the person's emotions or intentions, but rather their actions. The phrase "in the things that you do" is a clear indication that this person's behavior is what the singer is focusing on.
The next line "I knew you weren't for real" suggests that the singer has been deceived by this person before and has come to the realization that they are not genuine. This is followed by "you made a point of it," which implies that this person has intentionally shown their true colors in some way, perhaps by lying or breaking a promise.
The repetition of the chorus drives home the point that the singer is no longer fooled by this person's attitude or words, and that their actions have revealed their true nature. The line "not in the way you feel" is a powerful statement about the importance of actions over words, and the need to trust our instincts and perceptions rather than relying on what someone says.
Line by Line Meaning
Not in the way you feel
It's not about your emotions or sentiments
It's in the things that you do
Your actions are what matter
I knew you weren't for real
I was aware that you were not authentic
You made a point of it
You deliberately emphasized your lack of genuineness
