Nina
Beshken Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got the feeling it isn't you
Time wasn't healing all our wounds
Maybe next week sadness won't infect me
Cause you're misdirecting the madness that I feel
Again, and again and again

Sweat trips, got my hands around
Your hips, drowning out the sound
Of everybody else, the beauty that I found




Isn't real, or is it?

I've got the feeling it isn't you
I have a hunch that the person I am with is not who they seem to be


Time wasn't healing all our wounds
Despite the passage of time, our emotional injuries have not been fully resolved


Maybe next week sadness won't infect me
Perhaps in the future I will be free from the grip of sadness


Cause you're misdirecting the madness that I feel
You are distracting me from the chaos and turmoil that I am experiencing


Again, and again and again
This cycle of emotional turbulence keeps repeating


Sweat trips, got my hands around
I am overcome with physical and emotional intensity


Your hips, drowning out the sound
Your movements and closeness are drowning out all other sensations and distractions


Of everybody else, the beauty that I found
In this moment, I only see and appreciate the beauty of the person I am with


Isn't real, or is it?
I am questioning the authenticity of this experience and relationship
