Nashville
Barbra Lica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you wanna touch
If you feel too much
You can walk away
And tell, tell me
Tell me what I wanna hear
I don't care if each feel
Is just one night stand
The opening lyrics of "Nashville" by Barbra Lica reflect a common scenario in nightclubs or party environments where two strangers meet, and the possibility of engaging in a one night stand arises. The use of the word "touch" mimics the physical attraction that is usually what initiates such interactions. The lyrics suggest that intimacy is only wanted if it is reciprocated or welcome. If it becomes too much for the other party, they are free to walk away. The second verse emphasizes the desire for honesty - even if the information being shared is not exactly accurate. The persona doesn't mind if their partner knows what to say, as long as it leads to a fulfilling and enjoyable experience.
Line by Line Meaning
Touch, touch
Initiating physical contact
If you wanna touch
Consent for physical contact
If you feel too much
If the emotions are overwhelming
You can walk away
The option to leave at any time
And tell, tell me
Communication
Tell me what I wanna hear
Expression of desired words
I don't care if each feel
Lack of concern for genuine emotions
If you know what to say
Having the right words or lies
Is just one night stand
A relationship with no emotional commitment, only physical intimacy
