Either Way
Cadeaux Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I take my time love
Got a voice inside
I’ve been keeping on ice

I’ll make you mine love
Gonna catch your eye
While we dance through the night

I never thought I could slip again
I never thought you could fool me
There’s something about the way you move
And you see right through me

I see the devil see the devil on display
I know it’s trouble know it’s trouble either way
I see the devil see the devil on display
I know it’s trouble but we’ll stumble either way

I speak my mind love
When I’m seeing straight
Got no time to waste

I think it’s fine love
If we just get high
And ride the mistake

I never thought I could slip again
I never thought you could fool me
There’s something about the way you move
And you see right through me

I see the devil see the devil on display
I know it’s trouble know it’s trouble either way
I see the devil see the devil on display
I know it’s trouble but we’ll stumble either way

I feel fire
Coming down the mountain to me
Magnets in the heat

I see the devil see the devil on display
I know it’s trouble know it’s trouble either way
I see the devil see the devil on display
I know it’s trouble but we’ll stumble either way

Cuz I never thought I'd see you around
No I never thought I'd see you around

No I never thought I'd see you around
No I never thought I'd see you around

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Cadeaux's song "Either Way" express the singer's conflicted emotions surrounding a new love interest. The opening lines, "I take my time love, got a voice inside, I've been keeping on ice" suggest hesitancy, as if the singer is unsure if they should pursue this person or not. However, the chorus of "I see the devil see the devil on display, I know it's trouble know it's trouble either way" implies that the singer knows deep down that this relationship could bring about trouble and chaos, yet they're still drawn to it.

The second verse expands on this internal conflict, with the singer saying "I speak my mind love when I'm seeing straight, got no time to waste, I think it's fine love if we just get high and ride the mistake." This line suggests that the singer is aware that this relationship may not be the best decision, but they're willing to take the risk anyways. The final lines of the bridge, "I feel fire coming down the mountain to me, magnets in the heat," imply that the singer is intensely attracted to this person, but that may not necessarily be a good thing.

In summary, the song's lyrics express the singer's conflicting emotions towards a new potential love interest and the risks involved in pursuing it. The chorus serves as a reminder to the listener (and the singer themselves) that while the relationship may bring excitement and passion, it also has the potential to cause chaos and trouble.
