Audrey
Amber Oak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I told her something and Audrey knows it all
And I don't want to but I will listen
I hate her stories, I hate her random yawns
I like the coat but I don't see the heart
I want the thrill but I don't like the odds
And I'm not that guy who talks
Got a question and Audrey states it
Got an answer and Audrey says it's faulse
I don't want to but I will listen
I'm really raging but I won't show a thing, oh no no no no
I spite the coat but I don't see the heart'
I want recite but I don't like the marks
And I'm not that guy who talks
In Amber Oak's song Audrey, the singer is discussing their frustration and annoyance with a woman named Audrey. In the first verse, the singer reveals that they have confided in Audrey about something but now regrets it as she seems to know everything about them. Despite their dislike for her constant stories and random yawns, the singer admits they will still listen to her.
In the second verse, Audrey questions the singer and claims that their answer is false. The singer is again frustrated but remains calm and composed. They express their desire for adrenaline and excitement but are not willing to take risks. The repeated line "I'm not that guy who talks" suggests that the singer is not very outspoken and may prefer to keep their thoughts and feelings to themselves.
Overall, the song Audrey is about the singer's experiences with someone they dislike but feel they must tolerate. They dislike Audrey's constant talking and ability to know everything about them, but they are willing to listen to her despite their annoyance. The repeated theme of the singer not being a talkative person also suggests that they may struggle to express their emotions and thoughts to others.
