Baby That's Not The Point Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'll travel the world to the American pier
But baby, that's not the point
Baby, that's not the point
But baby, that's not the point
Baby, that's not the point
You tell me every day girl to be a man
But baby, that's not the point
Baby, that's not the point
But baby, that's not the point
Baby, that's not the point
I can't forget my fears
I can't forget my fears
I can't forget my fears
I can't forget my fears
The lyrics of Baby That's Not The Point's song The Drums expresses a sense of confusion and contradiction. The lines "I shouldn't share and I'm trying to be keen" suggest that the singer feels like he should keep his thoughts and feelings to himself, yet he's trying to be attentive and aware. He further mentions traveling the world to the American pier but emphasizes that this is not the main point.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Baby, that's not the point" several times, emphasizing the idea that there are bigger issues at play. However, the second verse shows that the singer is struggling to do what he's being asked to do: "You tell me every day girl to be a man, but I can't forget my fears."
These lyrics could represent a relationship where the singer is being pushed to be more courageous or to take on more responsibilities, but he's struggling to do so because of his fears. The repetition of the phrase "I can't forget my fears" suggests that he's having a hard time moving past them, despite his partner's encouragement.
Overall, the lyrics of The Drums convey a sense of internal struggle and conflict, as the singer tries to reconcile his desire to please his partner with his own insecurities and anxieties.
