Playground
Deb Fan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could have start off and be myself
Wanted to let you know I'd take you out
But don't
Now that we're stuck here and calling for love
We could have searched for the ones that we call home (home)
Don't
Say the words that make me run to you
Don't want to cry when I need warmth
Don't want to tell you that I'm between this truth
Remember the place where we first fell in love




In Love
Made Love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Playground" by Deb Fan explore themes of vulnerability, missed opportunities, and the longing for connection. In the first verse, the singer expresses a desire to be authentic and show their true self to someone they are interested in. They want to take this person out and spend time with them, but ultimately decide against it by saying "but don't." This could imply fear of rejection or hesitation in taking that leap.


As the song progresses, the lyrics touch on the feeling of being trapped in a situation and desperately yearning for love. The line "Now that we're stuck here and calling for love" suggests a sense of being lost or trapped in the present moment, perhaps in a situation where love seems distant or unattainable. The singer acknowledges that they could have sought out others who make them feel at home, but again, they say "Don't" - maybe implying that they are hesitant to move on from this person they originally desired.


The chorus emphasizes the internal conflict the singer is experiencing. They don't want to hear words that would make them run toward the person, suggesting a fear of vulnerability or potential pain. They also express a distaste for crying and a resistance to expressing their need for warmth, possibly hinting at a fear of showing emotional dependency.


The final line of the chorus refers to a special place where the couple originally fell in love. This may evoke nostalgic feelings and memories of a past romance. The phrase "made love" suggests more than just physical intimacy; it implies the creation of something meaningful between the two individuals. Overall, the lyrics of "Playground" evoke a sense of hesitation, vulnerability, and longing for a deeper connection amidst the complexities of love.

For all the women seeing this- you are worthy.

For the channel owner, it’s a pathetic share and shows you are chasing clicks versus bringing value and goodness to the world.

How horrible a life of embarrassment this brings for this poor young woman who is probably lovely, but her expression is one of humiliation.

For those who laugh at this consider your mothers, sisters and all the women in the world.

This kind of shame is the source of so much sorrow that is unnecessary.
