Coy. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This coyness Lady were no crime.
We would sit down,and think which way
To walk,pass our long Loves Day.
Thou by the Indian Ganges side
Should'st Rubies find: I by the Tide
Of Humber would complain.I would
And you should if you please refuse
Till the conversion of the Jews.
My vegetable love should grow Vaster than empires,and more slow.
An hundred years should go to praise
Thine eyes and thy forehead gaze. Two hundred to adore each Breast:
But thirty thousand to the rest.
An age at least to every part,
And the last age should show your Heart.
For Lady you deserve this State;
Nor would I love at lower rate
But at my back I alwaies hear
Times winged charriot hurrying near:
And yonder all before us lye
Desarts of vast Eternity.
Thy beauty shall no more be found;
Nor,in thy marble Vault, shall sound
My ecchoing Song:then Worms shall try
That long preserved virginity:
And your quaint honour turn to dust;
And into ashes all my lust.
The grave is a fine and private place,
But none I think do there embrace.
Now therefore while the youthful hue
Sits on thy skin like morning dew,
And while thy willing Soul transpires
At every pore with instant fires,
Now let us sport us while we may;
And now,like amorous birds of prey,
Rather at once our Time devour,
Than languish in his slow-chapt pow'r.
Let us roll all our strength, and all
Our sweetness up into one ball:
And tear our pleasures with rough strife,
Thorough the Iron gates of Life.
Thus thou we cannot make our sun
Stand still yet we will make it run.
The lyrics of Coy.'s song Music are an interpretation of the famous poem To His Coy Mistress by Andrew Marvell. The lyrics express a sense of urgency and passion towards the idea of embracing and celebrating one's love while still young and alive. It talks about how the singer would love their partner for centuries and consume all their strength and sweetness in one moment rather than wasting time languishing in life's slow-chapped power.
The lyrics start with the line "Had we butWorldenough,andTime, This coyness Lady were no crime", which can be interpreted as an expression of regret over the time they could have spent together. However, it's never too late for them to make the most of their present moment. The first stanza talks about how they would walk together and spend their long love's day, and also expresses the singer's willingness to love their partner ten years before the flood.
In the second stanza, the singer talks about how their love would grow "vaster than empires and more slow", expressing the depth and magnitude of their love. They go on to say how they would spend a hundred years praising their partner's eyes and forehead, and two hundred adoring each breast. The third and final stanza expresses a sense of urgency, emphasizing how they need to make the most of their time together while they still can. They talk about how they should exert all their strength and sweetness into one moment, and not waste away their days.
Line by Line Meaning
Had we but World enough, and Time,
If we had unlimited time and resources,
This coyness Lady were no crime.
There would be no shame in being hesitant or reserved.
We would sit down, and think which way
We would take time to carefully consider
To walk, pass our long Loves Day.
How best to spend our lives in love and affection.
Thou by the Indian Ganges side
You might find wealth and treasures in far off lands
Should'st Rubies find: I by the Tide
While you are finding riches in the East, I would be content by the sea.
Of Humber would complain. I would
Content with my modest life, I would still love you deeply.
Love you ten years before the Flood:
My love for you reaches back to ancient times.
And you should if you please refuse
Even if you reject my love for a time,
Till the conversion of the Jews.
I would still love you until the end of time.
My vegetable love should grow Vaster than empires, and more slow.
My love for you would be like a plant, slowly growing and expanding over time.
An hundred years should go to praise Thine eyes and thy forehead gaze.
I would spend a hundred years simply admiring your beauty.
Two hundred to adore each Breast:
Another two hundred years to appreciate every aspect of your being.
But thirty thousand to the rest.
An incomprehensible amount of time to love you for everything else.
An age at least to every part,
I would spend an entire lifetime devoted to every aspect of who you are.
And the last age should show your Heart.
Only at the very end of my life would I truly understand your essence.
For Lady you deserve this State;
You are deserving of such adoration.
Nor would I love at lower rate
I would never love you less than this, anything less would not suffice.
But at my back I alwaies hear
But even with all this devotion, I am constantly aware of the fleeting nature of life.
Times winged charriot hurrying near:
Death is rushing towards us, unstoppable and unavoidable.
And yonder all before us lye
Ahead of us lies emptiness and eternity.
Desarts of vast Eternity.
Endless expanses of nothingness.
Thy beauty shall no more be found;
One day you will no longer be beautiful.
Nor, in thy marble Vault, shall sound
Even in death, there will be no one to hear my words of love.
My echoing Song: then Worms shall try
After death, my words will fade away and be forgotten.
That long preserved virginity:
Even your purity will eventually be destroyed.
And your quaint honour turn to dust;
Your reputation and honor will also perish.
And into ashes all my lust.
Finally, even my intense desire and passion for you will be consumed by the ravages of time.
The grave is a fine and private place,
Death can be peaceful and serene.
But none I think do there embrace.
But there is no love or companionship in death.
Now therefore, while the youthful hue
So, while you are still young and beautiful,
Sits on thy skin like morning dew,
While your skin is still soft and fresh,
And while thy willing Soul transpires
While your soul is still full of passion,
At every pore with instant fires,
While your body and soul are still alive with energy and heat,
Now let us sport us while we may;
Let us make the most of our time together while we still can.
And now, like amorous birds of prey,
Let us pursue our desires with wild abandon.
Rather at once our Time devour,
Instead of wasting time on hesitation and doubt,
Than languish in his slow-chapt pow'r.
Let us seize the day, rather than being slowly consumed by the passage of time.
Let us roll all our strength, and all
Together, we can express our full strength and passion.
Our sweetness up into one ball:
Let us experience and enjoy all of the sweetness and pleasure that life has to offer.
And tear our pleasures with rough strife
We will pursue our desires passionately and without reservation.
Thorough the Iron gates of Life.
We will plow through any obstacle that life throws our way.
Thus thou we cannot make our sun
Although we cannot stop the passage of time and aging,
Stand still yet we will make it run.
We can make the most of every moment and live without regrets.
