Asa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My life’s like a subway
Oh I know this love don’t last
Look at me tell me what you see
Do you believe this love is real
Oh I know this love don’t last
To see this go down the drain
I have waited patiently
And this is what I get
Emotionally failing me
My whole wild world is caving in
I try so hard to express myself
but The woman in me
o o o don’t fade away
My mama say baby be careful
If any body comes to say I love o o o
My papa say baby I warn you
If anybody comes to say I love you
Now you asking me to trust you
Tell me how am I supposed to
When I know this love don’t last
Could this be the kind of love?
That my mum use to warn me about How will I know
that this love will last.
I have come from far away
To see this go down the drain
I have got so much to give
But I don’t know what I’ll get
Emotionally failing me
My whole wild world is caving in
I try so hard to express my self
but The woman in me don’t fade away.
My mama say baby be careful
If any body comes to say I love o o o
My papa say baby I warn you
If anybody comes to say I love you
Yeah Yeah
My mama say baby be careful
If any body comes to say I love o o o
My papa say baby I warn you
If anybody comes to say I love you
Asa's "Subway" is a song that explores the fear and uncertainty that can come with falling in love. In the first verse, she compares her life to a subway, suggesting that it can be chaotic, unpredictable, and full of ups and downs. She acknowledges that not every day can be a holiday and that this kind of love can be temporary. The chorus repeats twice, emphasizing the idea that this love won't last, despite the singer's own efforts and desires to express herself and connect with her partner.
In the second verse, Asa reflects on how she has come from a distance to be with this person, but all she is left with is emotional turmoil and the feeling that her whole world is falling apart. She questions whether this is the love that her parents warned her about and struggles to trust her partner's declarations of love. The repetition of her parents' advice shows the influence that family has on her choices and beliefs about love.
In the bridge, Asa's lyrics express a desperate hope that this love will not fade away completely, despite the fear and uncertainty that she feels. She is torn between wanting to believe in love and protecting herself from being hurt. The song ends with a final repetition of her parents' warning, leaving the listener to wonder whether Asa will heed their advice or take a chance on love.

Каждый день не праздник
Моя жизнь походит на метро
О, я знаю, что это любовь не продлится
Посмотри на меня скажите мне, что вы видите
Верите ли вы, эта любовь реальна
О, я знаю, что это любовь не продлится
Я пришел издалека
Чтобы убедиться в этом спуститься в канализацию
Я терпеливо ждал,
И это то, что я получаю
Эмоционально удается мне
Вся моя дикий мир проваливается в
Я так стараюсь, чтобы выразить себя
но женщина во мне
O O O не исчезают
Моя мама детка, будьте осторожны
Если какой-либо орган приходит сказать, что я люблю O O O
Мой папа детка, я предупреждаю вас
Если кто-то приходит сказать, что я люблю тебя
Теперь вы спрашиваете меня верить вам
Скажи мне, как я должен
Когда я знаю, что это любовь не продлится
Может ли это быть такая любовь?
Это моя мама использовать, чтобы предупредить меня о том, как я буду знать,
что эта любовь будет длиться.
Я пришел издалека
Чтобы убедиться в этом спуститься в канализацию
У меня есть так много, чтобы дать
Но я не знаю, что я получу
Эмоционально удается мне
Вся моя дикий мир проваливается в
Я так стараюсь, чтобы выразить себя
но женщина во мне не исчезают.
Моя мама детка, будьте осторожны
Если какой-либо орган приходит сказать, что я люблю O O O
Мой папа детка, я предупреждаю вас
Если кто-то приходит сказать, что я люблю тебя
Да Да
Моя мама детка, будьте осторожны
Если какой-либо орган приходит сказать, что я люблю O O O
Мой папа детка, я предупреждаю вас
Если кто-то приходит сказать, что я люблю тебя
