Te Amo
Bryan Kearney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Completely alone
No one left to act normal for
No need to hide who I really am
I dream
I dream I'm floating on the surface of my own life
Watching it unfold, observing it
The first verse of "Te Amo" portrays a desire for solitude so that the singer can feel free to embrace their true self. They want to strip away the societal pressure to conform to expectation and be real with themselves. The singer is yearning for a time when they can let go, be themselves, and observe their life without judgment. The line "I like to pretend I'm alone" suggests that the need for individuality is so strong that even in the presence of others, the singer creates a mental separation to feel truly authentic. The phrase, "I dream I'm floating on the surface of my own life" emphasises a desire to disconnect and watch the world from a distance, to gain perspective.
The second verse of "Te Amo" continues this introspective theme as the singer continues to observe their life as an outsider, detached from any pain or joy. The line "I'm the outsider looking in" signifies that the singer feels isolated from their emotions, as though they are merely a spectator of their life but not an active participant. This detachment allows them to reflect on their actions and what they want from life, without the emotional baggage that usually comes with such thoughts. Overall, the song's lyrics depict a desire for detachment and reflection that enables the singer to connect with their authentic self.
