ON
Cure Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know what's going on
I am so up close to you
I don't know what's going on
I don't know what's going on
I am so confused by you
I don't know what's going on

No don't say anymore
To me at all
To me at all
No don't say more
To me at all
To me at all
I am so in love with you
with you, with you,
I am so in love with you,
With you, with you

I don't know what's going on
I am so in deep with you
I don't know what's going on
I don't know what's going on
I am so disturbed by you

No don't say anymore
To me at all
To me at all
No don't say more
To me at all
To me at all




I am so in love with
You!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "On" by The Cure express confusion, love, and disturbance felt towards someone else. The singer is unsure of what is happening but feels very close and in love with someone who is also causing them confusion and disturbance. The repetition of "I don't know what's going on" emphasizes this confusion, as if the singer is trying to make sense of their emotions and the situation but cannot.


The refrain "No don't say anymore/ To me at all" suggests that the singer may be overwhelmed and doesn't want to hear any more from the person causing these emotions. However, they still express love towards this person with the repeated line "I am so in love with you."


The final line, "You!" is emphasized and delivered as a burst of emotion, perhaps suggesting the singer's inner conflict between their intense love for this person and the confusion/disturbance they feel towards them.


Overall, the lyrics and the delivery of the song create a sense of disorientation and emotional turmoil.
