Caveman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I would like to be one
Decide on me
If you'll try you'll see, ooh
I know the feeling, know it make me feel so mean
In time I think I'll know exactly what you need
I can't believe it's just another year to go, so I, ooh, I
I'll hold the match 'cause it seems right this time for me
In time I think I know it makes me feel so mean
I can't believe it's just another year to go, so I, ooh, I
Oh, emotion
'Cause I would like to be one
Decide on me
If you'll try, you'll see, ooh
I know the feeling know it make me feel so mean
In time I think I'll know exactly what you need
I can't believe it's just another year to go, so I, ooh, I
I'll hold the match cause it seems right this time for me
In time I think I know it makes me feel so mean
I can't believe it's just another year to go, so I, ooh, I
I know the feeling know it make me feel so mean
In time I think I'll know exactly what you need
I know the feeling know it make me feel so mean
In time I think I'll know exactly what you need
In "Decide", Caveman is exploring the idea of being chosen or wanted by someone else. The lyrics express the desire to be emotionally invested and have that feeling reciprocated. The repetition of the phrase "I know the feeling" indicates a shared experience that both the singer and the listener might have at some point. The mention of time passing, "just another year to go", suggests that the singer is willing to wait for this emotional connection to happen.
The line "I'll hold the match 'cause it seems right this time for me" is particularly interesting because it can be interpreted in several ways. It could be a metaphor for taking a risk in a relationship, or for igniting the spark of love. It could also be a reference to the act of lighting a match to see things more clearly, implying that the singer is ready to take action and make a decision.
Overall, "Decide" is a contemplative song about the desire for emotional intimacy and the willingness to wait for that connection to happen. The lyrics are simple yet effective in conveying this sentiment, and the repetition of certain lines provides a hypnotic quality to the song.
