Woman
Arno Carstens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No more talking and no more speaking
I don't care what the world is saying
Can we return to heavy breathing...
Tonight I am a woman...
More, more, I guess I want...
I hear laughter
I see your face but your
More, more, I guess I want...
TonightI want women
More, more, I guess I want...
Women...
I guess I want...
Tonight I am a women...
I guess I want...
Women...
Can we return to heavy breathing
No more talking and no more speaking
I don't care what the world is saying
Can we return to heavy breathing...
Arno Carstens's song "Woman" portrays a sense of freedom, liberation, and desire. The first stanza illustrates the singer's desire to return to a moment where there is no need for words, where breath and passion alone speak volumes. The chorus then repeatedly emphasizes the singer's longing for "women" and "more," which can be interpreted as a desire for sexual fulfillment, but also for a life that is not restricted by social norms or expectations. The second stanza includes a contradiction between hearing laughter and seeing a still face, which can signify a disconnect between the world's expectations and the singer's inner world. The song ultimately conveys a sense of frustration with societal constraints and a desire to break free from them.
