Groove
B. OIKI Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
An hour later her voice shook
When her whispering died, she cried
Never wants to recover, she cried
Don't talk to me about love
(yesterdays shatter, tomorrows don't matter)
Don't talk to me about love
Since that gaze
Roaring by went her days
When her whispering died, she cried
Never wants to recover, she cried
Don't talk to me about love
(yesterdays shatter, tomorrows don't matter)
Don't talk to me about love
(yesterdays shatter, tomorrows don't matter)
Don't talk to me about love
(yesterdays shatter, tomorrows don't matter)
(yesterdays shatter, tomorrows don't matter)
Don't talk, don't talk to me
(yesterdays shatter, tomorrows don't matter)
Don't talk to me about love
(yesterdays shatter, tomorrows don't matter)
Don't talk to me about love
(yesterdays shatter, tomorrows don't matter)
It couldn't be that good, although they said it would
Just couldn't be that good
Don't talk to me about love
(yesterdays shatter, tomorrows don't matter)
Be that good
It couldn't be that good, although they said it would
Just couldn't be that good
Be be be that good (*3 to fade)
The song "Groove" by B. OIKI is a melancholic and introspective take on the aftermath of a failed relationship. The lyrics describe a moment when the two lovers exchanged a look, followed by the woman's devastation as she realizes that the relationship is over. The repetition of the line "Don't talk to me about love (yesterday's shatter, tomorrow's don't matter)" emphasizes her despair and reluctance to move on.
The woman's days are now hollow and unfulfilling, and the loss of her ability to whisper reveals a vulnerability and fragility that she tries to mask with her tears. The chorus repeats the same line, cementing the idea that the past cannot be undone and the future brings no comfort. Finally, the song ends with the realization that the relationship was never as good as it was promised to be, leaving the singers to ponder what they might have done differently to prevent its dissolution.
Overall, "Groove" is a wistful and rueful meditation on the pain of heartbreak and the difficulty of letting go of a relationship that was once so promising.
