Yours to Keep
Blue Hawaii Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me know I am yours to keep
I lost so hard I weep
Felt like it's over my head
Can't say I like this
Say this what you want
Make them go down south
Staying is a choice
Moving to the south

The ring is underground
And I can feel it all around
I know it's over
Then I can feel it in my head
It's all takes longer once again

I know it's so like this
Saying is a choice to keep
It's open to mind now, to keep
Saying is a choice to keep
Snakes inside the mouth, yours to keep

Staying you'll just give up, yours to keep, give up
Women, women love them, love them
Feelings falling, ever
Saying you'll just give up, give up

Love me, love me, no tire
Please don't, please don't give up
Yours to keep




Yours to keep
All done, all done, all done

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Yours to Keep" by Blue Hawaii convey a sense of surrender and acceptance in a romantic relationship. The opening lines suggest a willingness to commit, as the singer declares, "Let me know I am yours to keep." However, there is a hint of vulnerability and pain, as they mention losing so hard they weep. It feels like the situation has become overwhelming, but they can't say they enjoy it.


The following lines, "Make them go down south, Staying is a choice, Moving to the south," could be interpreted in a couple of ways. "Going down south" may refer to escaping or running away from the current situation. It implies that staying or leaving is a conscious decision, but there is uncertainty about which choice to make.


The second verse introduces the idea of an underground ring, which could symbolize a hidden or secret aspect of the relationship. The singer can sense its presence all around, and they know it's over. This realization brings a feeling of heaviness and lengthening of time.


The chorus repeats the idea that staying or giving up is a choice, and the singer seems conflicted. There is a mention of "snakes inside the mouth," which can be interpreted as deception or betrayal within the relationship. The repeated mantra of "yours to keep" suggests a desire for commitment and ownership, but it also implies a sense of resignation or surrender.


Throughout the song, there is a sense of tension between wanting to hold on and the fear of letting go. It explores the complexities and uncertainties of romantic relationships, ultimately leaving the listener with a feeling of ambiguity and introspection.
