Keep On Loving You
Cigarettes After Sex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That there was something missing
You should have known by the tone of my voice
But you didn't listen
You play dead
But you never bled
Instead you lie still in the grass
All coiled up and hissing
And I know all about those men
Still I don't remember
'Cause it was us baby way before them
And we're still together
And I meant
Every word I said
When I said that I love you
I meant that I'll love you forever
And I'm gonna keep on loving you
Because it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on loving you
And I meant
Every word I said
When I said that I love you
I meant that I loved you forever
And I'm gonna keep on loving you
Because it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on loving you
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on loving you
In Cigarettes After Sex's song "Keep on Loving You," the singer is conveying a sense of disappointment towards their lover for not noticing their discontentment in the relationship. The first two lines set the scene for the tone of the rest of the song with "You should have seen by the look in my eyes / That there was something missing." The words suggest that the singer has been emotionally neglected by their partner for some time without them noticing, leading to feelings of frustration and sadness. The next line "You should have known by the tone of my voice / But you didn't listen" further emphasizes the idea that the singer has been trying to hint at something wrong to their lover, but they failed to pay attention.
The lyrics suggest that although the singer has been neglected, they still hold strong feelings for their partner. They mention they've been together for a long time, "And I know all about those men / Still I don't remember / 'Cause it was us baby way before them / And we're still together." This can be interpreted to mean that the singer understands their lover's shortcomings and past mistakes, but their love for one another has survived through everything. The chorus has a repeating theme of loving their partner unconditionally, even if they have let the singer down before. "And I'm gonna keep on loving you / Because it's the only thing I wanna do" portrays the idea that the singer is committed to the relationship and will continue loving their partner despite their flaws.
Overall, the lyrics depict a relationship that has been surviving through hardships and trials. The song holds a deep sense of love and commitment despite the challenges they face.
