Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all of these lows
Don't keep me company
I've been breathing you in
And drinking you down
You're the only remedy
Say you're gonna hold my head up
Say you're gonna stay forever
Baby, this is all I want
'Cause all my bones
Are begging me to beg for you
Begging me to beg for your love
All my lungs
Are begging me to beg for you
Begging me to beg for your love
Swear I'm gonna hold your head up
Swear I'm gonna break your fall
Swear we're gonna last forever
Baby, this is all I want
'Cause all my bones
Are begging me to beg for you
Begging me to beg for your love
Losing my mind
Dreaming I'll find
Another kind of love
But this blood in my veins
And the thought of your taste
No, I can't give it up
So look at my face
Not running away
'Cause all my bones
Are begging me to beg for you
Begging me to beg for your love
Swear I'm gonna hold your head up
Swear I'm gonna break your fall
Swear we're gonna last forever
Baby, this is all I want
'Cause all my bones
Are begging me to beg for you
Begging me to beg for your love
Say you're gonna hold my head up
Say you're gonna break my fall
Say you're gonna stay forever
Baby, this is all I want
Swear I'm gonna hold your head up
Swear I'm gonna break your fall
Swear we're gonna last forever
Baby, this is all I want
'Cause all my bones
Are begging me to beg for you
Begging me to beg for your love
All my lungs
Are begging me to beg for you
Begging me to beg for your love
The lyrics of Dua Lipa's "Begging" reveal the singer's desperation for love and companionship. The song delves into the emotional turmoil of falling for someone so deeply that all of her being pleads for their love. The lyrics highlight the constant emotional swings that come with love, where one moment you're on a high and the next, you're on a low, with no comfort in either. The highs and lows don't keep the singer company, and she turns to the one person she wants: the love interest.
The second stanza mirrors the first with a more significant emphasis on the desperation to hold onto the love. The lyrical content echoes her need for someone to stay, to hold her up, and to break her fall. The reliance on an external source of strength serves as the only way for stability, and the singer emphasizes the role that the love interest plays in her life. For her, this is a quest to find true, unwavering and eternal love.
The third stanza is an admission of defeat. The singer can't give up the thought of the love interest, nor can she justify dreaming of love with another person. She is lost in thoughts of the taste of the love interest's kiss and the feeling of the blood rushing through her veins when she is around them. Even though she can't deny the overwhelming force of her attraction, she is ready to face the consequences of her feelings and refuses to run away.
Overall, the song is a call for love and a beautiful expression of vulnerability. The lyrics reveal the singer in her rawest form as she bares her soul, begging for someone to stay and love her forever.

@@notebook1148 NO it doesn't mean a comparision necessarily. The person in original comment didn't say "oh god this is so underrated compared to those who get 500 views". It's subjective, not comparative and hence the reply makes no sense.
