What's Behind?
De-Phazz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna have sunday or monday
I wanna have jewels on my jeans
My guitar sounds like a nightingale
I wanna travel without fear

I wanna be light as a black glove
I wanna look into your crazy eyes
I wanna have snow in the summer
Just want to see you again

What is this behind?

I wanna be light as a black glove
I wanna look into your crazy eyes
When you sleep in my bathroom
I look through the keyhole -
Then turn off the light





What is this behind this veil?
...another veil?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of De-Phazz's song "What's Behind?" depict a longing for freedom, adventure, and love. The singer expresses their desire to break free from the monotony of life, and acquire jewels on their jeans, travel without fear, and have snow in the summer. The mention of the guitar sounding like a nightingale adds to the romantic undertones of the song, as does the wanting to look into "your crazy eyes." The final lines "When you sleep in my bathroom, I look through the keyhole - Then turn off the light" adds a sense of mystery and intrigue to the song.


The repeated question "What is this behind?" suggests that the singer is searching for something deeper and more profound than what they currently have. It could be interpreted as a question about the true meaning of life or what lies ahead in the future. The mention of "another veil" in the final line further reinforces this idea of searching for something beyond what is immediately visible.
