DVSN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Friends telling me I'm crazy
That I'm wasting time with you
You'll never be mine (nah)
That's not the way I see it
'Cause you're mine when you're with me (yeah)
That sits with me fine
Stop listening to my friends
'Cause the way I see it
Now you're mine
Stop listening to my friends
'Cause the way I see it
Now you're mine
Stop listening to my friends
'Cause the way I see it
Now you're mine
Stop listening to my friends
Stop listening to your friends
Yeah
You may have many others
But I know when you're with me
I'm all that you see (oh)
Friends seem to always listen
To the bad things that you do
But you don't do them to me (oh, baby)
Stop listening to my friends
'Cause the way I see it (the way I see it babe)
Now you're mine
Stop listening to my friends
'Cause the way I see it
Now you're mine
Stop listening to my friends (yeah, yeah)
'Cause the way I see it
Now you're mine
Stop listening to my friends
Stop listening to your friends
Stop listening
Now you're mine (ooh)
Now you're mine
Now you're mine (oh)
Ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
The lyrics to dvsn's song 'Friends' revolve around the singer's desire for someone who is deemed 'off-limits' by their friends. The singer is aware that their friends think they are wasting time on this person, and that they will never be able to be with them. However, the singer insists that this person is 'theirs' when they are together, and that is enough for them. The line 'Stop listening to my friends' is repeated numerous times, emphasizing the singer's frustration with the opinions of others. The lyrics suggest that the singer is willing to go against what their friends say in order to pursue what they want.
The song may be interpreted as a commentary on societal norms and expectations of relationships. It explores the idea of going against what is acceptable or conventional to pursue something that is not necessarily logical, but rather based on emotions and feelings. The repeated phrase 'Now you're mine' is a declaration of possession, indicating the singer's desire to claim what is considered 'forbidden'.
Overall, the lyrics of 'Friends' convey a sense of longing and defiance, depicting a struggle between what is expected and what the heart wants.
