Understanding
Derrick Hoh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
来不及听见那句 我爱你
爱就昇华 成友谊
简化各种 未来的可能性
亲密 却保持距离
靠近 靠近 多恨不得
可以代替你 呼吸
逃避 逃避 压抑心底 最深的秘密
把想念 先戒掉 比较 礼貌
别动心 好好好 答案永远不揭晓
有种爱 很奇妙 未必拥有 才能得到
来不及听见那句 我爱你
爱就昇华 成友谊
简化各种 未来的可能性
亲密 却保持距离
靠近 靠近 多恨不得
可以代替你 呼吸
逃避 逃避 压抑心底 最深的秘密
别爱你 好好好 答应你我会做到
把想念 先戒掉 比较 礼貌
别动心 好好好 答案永远不揭晓
有种爱 很奇妙 未必拥有 才能得到
爱虽然像个警报 预告了太多烦恼
你不想要 也好 all right all right
忽略心跳的声响 轻视拥抱的需要
称职当个 知己 i'll try i'll try
Cos you say things'd come to a head
And now it's time to go
Don't need apologies it's curtain
Call on ma show
No worries i won't try to push it anymore
和平相处 没有束缚 baby
好好好 相信我能做得到
这犹豫 先忘掉 不会 勉强
别动心 好好好 答案何必要揭晓
这种爱 很奇妙 不必拥有 就能得到
The song "Understanding" by Derrick Hoh is a powerful ballad that speaks to the complexities of intimate relationships. The lyrics paint a picture of two individuals who feel deeply connected, yet are hesitant to fully embrace those feelings out of fear of losing what they have. The chorus, which repeats several times throughout the song, encourages the listener to communicate openly and honestly with their partner, even if it means risking rejection or heartache.
The first verse describes the singer's desire to be closer to his partner, to the point where he can "breathe" in their place. However, he also acknowledges his tendency to avoid sharing his true feelings and secrets, which creates a distance between them. The second verse expands on this theme, emphasizing the importance of respecting boundaries and maintaining a level of decorum, even if it means sacrificing the depth of their connection.
Overall, "Understanding" is a powerful reminder of the importance of honesty and communication in relationships. It encourages the listener to embrace vulnerability and take risks, even if the outcome is uncertain.
