A Promise
Autopassion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even if only for a day
I can't stand my ability to tell time
I'm kind looking for a (mumble)
The kind of woman makes me wanna be
Another person, no, not one like she is
I don't make promises, I only lie
You're not the only one who's learned from this
I've gained so much knowledge, I can't begin
We took a cab to a little place
We sat around and listened the plans for a while
I never thought I'd see her face again
She took a needle and she took my heart
I found a loving place where I thought I could fall in love again
What a fool I'd been
She said I knew one day that we would go through this
I don't make promises, I only lie
I bet you think that I am proud of this
But no, not at all, no, not at all
So don't throw my love away she said
Even if only for a day
I can't stand my ability to tell time
Don't throw my love away she begged
Don't throw my love away she pled
Don't throw my love away she said
Don't, don't throw my love away
Don't throw my love away
Don't throw my love away
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't throw my love away
The lyrics of Autopassion's song "A Promise" seem to detail a complicated relationship between two individuals who have a history of being intimate but are not in a stable romantic relationship. The singer of the song seems to be struggling with the concept of time and may have a fear of commitment. The woman he is talking about urges him to not throw her love away, even if it's just for a day.
The singer is searching for something, possibly a feeling of excitement or an escape from himself, and he believes this type of person may be a certain kind of woman. This desire to be with someone who will bring out a different side of him seems to be a recurring theme in the song. The singer also acknowledges that there is a likelihood of them being intimate again, but he makes no promises. He seems to be aware that he's not the only one who has learned from their experiences together as he has also gained knowledge through their interactions.
The lyrics also detail a moment where the two meet again at a little place, and the singer mentions that he never thought he'd see her face again. However, it appears they are not exactly in good terms, as she takes a needle and his heart, which could be interpreted as her leaving a mark on him or causing him pain. The singer then reflects on how foolish he's been for falling in love again, knowing that this situation could happen. The woman pleads with him to not throw her love away, but it's unclear whether the singer will listen.
