From that point on Billie started writing her own music, putting together a band and working with producers Imposters & John Calvert on a sound that combined her roots in jazz with the bass and dance sounds of the moment. Anyone coming to her shows will hear songs that range from minimalist electronic ballads to RnB to all-out floor-fillers.
Do You Really
Billie Black Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we were only chasing hours
The love between us, all, was a truthful curse
And everything was fine was ours
To say that you, lately,
You always wanna come round here,
Just saying that you lately,
You always wanna come some near
And I don't know what I should think
You bring a little smile to me, expose my flow now
Moving further out of sync (out of sync, out of sync, out of sync, out of sync)
Do you really wanna play, wanna take me out?
Do you really wanna stay tonight?
Cause I think that I do, I think that I do,
Do you really wanna make cause I shake you up
Do you really wanna take the lead?
Cause I think that I do, I think that I do
Timeless was more like a duck end game
And you were always in my face
Now I see you're getting rare when you hear my name
A difficulty now it's phased to say,
But you lately,
You always wanna come round here,
Just sayin' that you lately,
You always wanna come so near
Thing is I can tell the worst state of new meanings
And I don't know what I should say
You bring a little pause to me, expose my feelings
It's turning on the light in this place,
(on the light in this place, on the light in this place, on the light in this place)
Do you really wanna play, wanna take me out?
Do you really wanna stay tonight?
Cause I think that I do, I think that I do,
Do you really wanna make cause I shake you up
Do you really wanna take the lead?
Cause I think that I do, I think that I do
Boy, I really wanna play, wanna take you out
Boy, I really wanna stay tonight
And I think that you do, I think that you do,
Boy, you really wanna make cause I shake you up
Boy, I really wanna take the lead
And I think that I do, I think that I do
In Billie Black's song "Do You Really," the singer seems to be caught in a complex relationship where the two parties involved are unsure of what they want. The phrase "Timeless there was more like a creep of us" suggests that the relationship may have been more comfortable in the past, but now there is a distance that has developed between them. The singer seems to be conflicted in her feelings towards the other person, acknowledging that they bring a little bit of light to her life, but also realizing that they are out of sync.
Throughout the song, the singer questions the other person's motives, asking if they really want to play or take her out, and if they really want to stay the night. Despite her own uncertainty about the relationship, she seems to want the other person to take the lead and make a move. Towards the end of the song, the roles seem to be reversed as the singer expresses her desire to take the lead and go out with the other person.
Overall, the song explores the complexities of modern dating, where relationships are often unsure and filled with mixed signals. The lyrics suggest that the singer wants the other person to take charge and make a move, but at the same time, she is unsure of what she wants and is questioning the other person's motives.

Timeless there was more like a creep of us
Our love was timeless, but it crept slowly like a creep towards us
And we were only chasing hours

Our love was honest, but it also came with its own set of difficulties
And everything was fine was ours
We were content with what we had and felt like it belonged to only us

Timeless was more like a duck end game
Our love that once felt timeless now feels like a game with a clear end

You make me stop and think about my emotions more
It's turning on the light in this place,
It's making things clearer for me
Boy, I really wanna play, wanna take you out
I really want to spend time with you and go out
Boy, I really wanna stay tonight
I really want you to stay with me tonight
And I think that you do, I think that you do,
And I'm pretty sure you want to as well
Boy, you really wanna make cause I shake you up
Do you want to take the risk of being vulnerable with me and letting our emotions lead us?
Boy, I really wanna take the lead
I want to take charge and guide us through this
And I think that I do, I think that I do
And I'm confident that I can do it
