Christy & Emily Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have something to say
I know we're running out of time
Because I'm going away
And I know that you don't understand
And I can not explain
But whether we like it or not
It has to be this way
That you've got ahold of me
When I do not know what I want
Or who I'm trying to be
And for once I've gotta make a choice
That's only just for me
So I can breathe
So light another cigarette to take away the pain
Tell me how much you regret this while thing anyway
Assure me that you know that this is gonna be okay
And that this was nothing anyway
You can tell your friends that I
Was never worth your time
And I'll make sure to shrug you off
When I am telling mine
And if we ever see each other
I'll be sure to draw the line
And heed the signs
So light another cigarette to take away the pain
Tell me how much you regret this while thing anyway
Assure me that you know that this is gonna be okay
And that this was nothing anyway
The lyrics of "Signs" by Christy & Emily depict a conversation between two individuals, one of whom is preparing to leave the other. The singer acknowledges that time is running out and expresses their frustration at not being able to fully explain their decision to depart. There is a sense of conflict within the singer regarding their own desires and identity, as they reflect on the influence others have over them.
The singer mentions that they are being influenced by everyone's opinions about their relationship and how the other person supposedly has a strong grip over them. They admit to feeling lost and uncertain about their own wants and who they want to become. This internal turmoil is underscored by the idea that they must make a choice solely for themselves, as they recognize the need to prioritize their own well-being and personal growth in order to breathe.
The lyrics also touch upon the aftermath of their departure. The singer asks the other person to light a cigarette to numb the pain of their absence, seeking reassurance that the individual somehow regrets the entire experience. They long for confirmation that even though the separation is difficult, the other person understands that it was necessary and that everything will eventually be okay. The singer wants to believe that their departure meant nothing in the grand scheme of things, so they can both move on.
The final lines suggest a desire for closure and the intention to establish clear boundaries in the future. The singer mentions that the other person can tell their friends that they were never worth their time, indicating a need to distance themselves from the past. They express a similar sentiment about their future encounters, implying that they will draw a line to protect themselves and heed the signs that indicate the need for separation, growth, and self-preservation.
Overall, "Signs" delves into the conflicting emotions experienced when leaving a relationship for personal reasons. It explores the desire for understanding and reassurance, as well as the process of moving forward and establishing boundaries.

Baby, please open your eyes
I need you to pay attention and listen to what I have to say
I have something to say
There is something important that I need to express
I know we're running out of time
Our time together is coming to an end
Because I'm going away
I am leaving and will be physically distant from you
And I know that you don't understand
I am aware that you cannot comprehend my decision
And I can not explain
I am unable to provide a satisfactory explanation
But whether we like it or not
Regardless of our preferences
It has to be this way
This is the unavoidable reality
Because everybody's saying
Many people are expressing their opinions
That you've got ahold of me
They believe you have an emotional hold on me
When I do not know what I want
I am uncertain about my own desires
Or who I'm trying to be
I am unsure about my own identity
And for once I've gotta make a choice
There is a time when I must prioritize my own needs
That's only just for me
This decision is solely for my own benefit
So I can breathe
So I can find my own sense of relief
So light another cigarette to take away the pain
Engage in a habit as a coping mechanism to numb the emotional pain
Tell me how much you regret this whole thing anyway
Convey to me your level of remorse regarding our entire relationship
Assure me that you know that this is gonna be okay
Provide me with the reassurance that everything will eventually be fine
And that this was nothing anyway
Emphasize that our relationship was inconsequential
You can tell your friends that I
Feel free to inform your acquaintances that I
Was never worth your time
I was never deserving of your attention or investment
And I'll make sure to shrug you off
I will intentionally dismiss and disregard you
When I am telling mine
When I am recounting my version of events
And if we ever see each other
In the event we come across one another
I'll be sure to draw the line
I will establish clear boundaries between us
And heed the signs
And pay attention to the indications or warnings

Natalie's Channel Itโs a pretty good blackmail
Kora Destiny
Terra shouldn't be showing off the video I mean it could be offensive of course but it was a job she needed money and christy clearly didn't like the word
Zoha Qureshi
She said at the start of the video โI have to be fake nice to herโ that proves that Terra uses people to her advantage to better herself and I am so glad that Christy didnโt sign the the release. Christy made the video to feed her family, yes it was wrong but Christy did what she had to do to feed her family so I have gained a lot of respect for Christy
Lovely One
Those women are just SO mean to christy! They're all bullies! WHY?!?!

I replayed Christy falling over and over
Her laughing after she fell made me laugh even harder. Terra is the devil though, she doesnt deserve to be on this show.
