Sooner
Asobi Seksu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's been a few times
I almost woke up in your eyes
Today won't start again, all over
Take off all your
I know you're not open to me
It's been a long time
Today won't start again, all over
Take off all your
Coco you then believe this
I still don't know why
Why you would keep me off your mind
Today won't start again, all over
Take off all your
Can't seem to ever reach you
There's been a few times
I almost woke up in your eyes
Today won't start again, all over
Take off all your
The lyrics of Asobi Seksu's song Sooner are a lament about the separation between two individuals who just can't seem to connect. The singer is expressing her frustration with the inability to reach the other person despite several attempts to do so. There have been moments where the singer feels close to the other person, almost as if she has woken up in their eyes, but these moments are fleeting and ultimately meaningless.
The repetition of the phrase "today won't start again, all over" speaks to the feeling of being stuck in a cycle of futility. The singer knows that she is not welcome in the other person's life, and no matter how hard she tries, she can't seem to break through the barrier that separates them. She pleads with the other person to "take off all your" barriers and let her in, but it is clear that they are not ready or willing to do so.
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the pain of unrequited love and the persistent longing for someone who seems out of reach. It is a beautiful and haunting piece of music that captures the emotional complexity of human relationships.
