Bearings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For a second learned my lesson and I realign
I can tell ya what ya want but that's not the vibe
So I'm thinking for a minute like I got the time
We take something
We're always taking something
And turn it into nothing
Sway
(You're swimming in my veins)
Around your room
(It's not the same without you)
To something blue
She bases what she's drinking on the place and time of day
Says that she loves California but she hates LA
Okay
You don't talk about your thoughts now so your mind is mine to read
I've got something in me twisting up screaming time is all I need
What ya think about a conversation?
What ya think about a different line?
What ya think about me and you?
I lost track of time
In Bearings' song Sway, the lyrics express a sense of longing for someone who seems to always be on the singer's mind. The first few lines suggest that the singer is trying to think things through before speaking or acting on their thoughts, and they acknowledge that they may not be able to give the other person exactly what they want. The chorus mentions "swaying" around the room and feeling someone else's presence in their veins, suggesting a sense of intimacy or closeness even when physically apart. The second verse speaks directly to the person the singer is thinking about, asking for a conversation or a new perspective on things. The sense of timelessness and the feeling of something "twisting up" inside could indicate a desperate desire to hold onto a fleeting moment of connection.
Overall, the lyrics of Sway suggest a yearning for emotional intimacy and a struggle to express one's feelings and desires to another person. The chorus stands out as a poignant and relatable sentiment, as many people have experienced the sensation of feeling someone else's presence even when they are not physically together. The language used throughout the song creates a vivid and sensual atmosphere, with references to color (blue), location (California, LA), and even taste (the woman's choice of drink). The lyrics also play with the concept of time, suggesting that the singer is both trying to hold onto a moment and also losing track of it.

Context she's on my mind
I'm thinking about her
For a second learned my lesson and I realign
I took a moment to reflect and get back on track
I can tell ya what ya want but that's not the vibe
I'm not going to tell you what you want to hear just to please you
So I'm thinking for a minute like I got the time
I'm taking my time to think before responding
We take something
We always take something
We're always taking something
We constantly take things for granted
And turn it into nothing
And we make it into something meaningless
We turn it into nothing
We make it have no value
Sway
Let's move together
(You're swimming in my veins)
(I can't shake you)
Around your room
I can't help but think of you everywhere I go
(It's not the same without you)
(Things just aren't the same when you're not around)
To something blue
We'll go wherever our emotions take us
She bases what she's drinking on the place and time of day
She chooses her drink based on the occasion
Says that she loves California but she hates LA
She has mixed feelings about where she lives
You don't talk about your thoughts now so your mind is mine to read
If you won't communicate with me, then I'll just have to guess your thoughts
I've got something in me twisting up screaming time is all I need
I have an overwhelming feeling that I need time to figure things out
What ya think about a conversation?
How about we talk about things?
What ya think about a different line?
Let's try a different approach
What ya think about me and you?
Do you think we could work together?
I lost track of time
I got carried away and didn't realize how long we've been talking

From a 31 year old pop punk head this is easily one of my favorites of all time. Well done boys 🤘🏼
@steve6556
30 year old in 2023 and have loved this tune since I first heard it but I relate to this so much. We’ve heard so many jams in our lifetime but something about this song immediately puts it to the front of my favorites list.
