Diving With Andy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was trying to say
In the smoothness of the day
I'm asking you why
I can never, never reach you
During that quiet while
The wonder stopped nearby
I'm asking you why
I can never, never, never dare to

Ref:

How can I hold it?
He won't guess and I'm a freak
As usual
A fucking freak, is he too?
Still on that sunny day
I'm mute and I can't help
I'm desperate so what
't' ll be better, better one day
I've been trying to tell
The useless and the vague
Then I don't know why
I should ever, ever, ever dare to

Ref :

I was trying to say
But now the day has gone away
And I should know why
People should not ask why, ask why

Ref :





I was trying to say
But now the day has gone away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Diving With Andy's song "Andrew" seem to describe an unspoken longing for someone who is out of reach. The singer tries to express their feelings but cannot seem to find the words, feeling mute and desperate. They wonder why they cannot bring themselves to confess their emotions and hold onto them, fearing that they will be perceived as a "freak." The mention of a "sunny day" and "smoothness of the day" creates a contrast to the singer's inner turmoil, highlighting the dissonance between their internal and external worlds.


The refrain "How can I hold it? He won't guess and I'm a freak, as usual. A fucking freak, is he too?" suggests that the singer is perhaps questioning the reciprocation of their feelings, as well as their own self-worth. The repetition of "never, never" in the verses emphasizes the sense of impossibility that the singer feels in expressing their emotions or bridging the gap between themselves and the person they desire.


The song ends with the repetition of the line "I was trying to say, but now the day has gone away" which creates a sense of missed opportunity and regret. It serves as a reminder that sometimes our unspoken desires and feelings can go unsaid, and that time can slip away without us realizing it. Overall, "Andrew" is a poignant and bittersweet meditation on unrequited love and internal struggles.


Line by Line Meaning

I was trying to say
I had something to express


In the smoothness of the day
During a moment of peace


I'm asking you why
I'm curious and confused


I can never, never reach you
I'm unable to connect with you


During that quiet while
In a moment of stillness


The wonder stopped nearby
An extraordinary thing happened


I can never, never, never dare to
I'm too afraid to try


How can I hold it?
I'm struggling to keep it together


He won't guess and I'm a freak
He won't understand and I feel like an outcast


As usual
This is a common occurrence


A fucking freak, is he too?
Is he also an outsider like me?


Still on that sunny day
Despite the happy moment


I'm mute and I can't help
I'm silenced and powerless


I'm desperate so what
I'm in a state of distress


't' ll be better, better one day
I hope things will improve in the future


I've been trying to tell
I've been attempting to communicate


The useless and the vague
But my attempts are futile and unclear


Then I don't know why
I'm unsure why


People should not ask why, ask why
We shouldn't question things unnecessarily


But now the day has gone away
But the moment has passed


And I should know why
And I should understand why
