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.
Teach Me
Billie Black Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The strength when it's important
It's a shallow pool to be sitting by the side
Baby, tell me how this started, uhm uhm
Baby, tell me how this started
Know you want me now 'cause I'm sweet like honey rye
Send me all the rocks, so I'm wasted
You want me when you taste it, uhm uhm
You want me when you taste it
Teach me how to LOVE AGAIN
Lovers on and lovers loyal
And teach me how to LOVE AGAIN
Let me fall, just let me fall again
Heart has a touch glowing on another round, yeah
I know his thang but I'll fall in
Lost friends and melts and know I'll end up in the crowd
But it's my name he'll be calling
But it's my name he'll be calling
But it's my name he'll be calling
Teach me how to LOVE AGAIN
Lovers on and lovers loyal
And teach me how to LOVE AGAIN
Let me fall, just let me fall again
The lyrics of Billie Black's song "Teach Me" deal with the theme of love and the desire to learn to love again. The opening lines talk about how we only start to recognize the importance of strength when it really matters. The lyrics here refer to being stuck in a shallow pool and wanting to know how things started to change for the better.
The next few lines then talk about the feeling of being wanted, particularly when you are "sweet like honey rye." There is an acknowledgment that the person is only wanted when they are of use and when they taste good. The song then moves on to the main theme of wanting to learn to love again. The singer talks about wanting to be taught about love and how to fall in love again. They mention wanting to be taught about lovers, loyalty, and the feeling of falling in love all over again.
The chorus repeats the theme of wanting to learn to love again and to fall again. The last few lines of the song talk about the singer knowing that their heart has a touch that can attract others but they always end up in the crowd. However, the person calling out their name makes it all worth it and they are still willing to learn to love once again.
