Delayed Devotion -PuntoTorrent-
Duffy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, a life time of security
Down on your dying knees
I watch you, babe, I watch you plead
But your words come much too late
My love for you has turned to hate
Cause you've taken too much time
When I drop you boy
You'll need another toy
One that won't stand up for herself
When I knock you down
You'll need another town
Where somebody's gonna talk to you
You just let me wait
Now it's too late
For your delayed, delayed devotion
You try to convince me
Oh, about the possibilities
But I know that all your poetry
Just comes from insecurity
Cause your actions speak nothing no more
When it's what I've been waiting for
Cause you've taken too much time
To show me that you're mine
When I drop you boy
You'll need another toy
One that won't stand up for herself
When I knock you down
You'll need another town
Where somebody's gonna talk to you
You just let me wait
Now it's too late
For your delayed, delayed devotion
You played me for a fool for too long
Blinded by your lies I never saw your all
I'm no longer under your spell
Hear it in a song
You can go to Hell
When I drop you boy
You'll need another toy
One that won't stand up for herself
When I knock you down
You'll need another town
Where somebody's gonna talk to you
You just let me wait
Now it's too late
For your delayed, delayed devotion
In the song "Delayed Devotion" by Duffy, the singer addresses a lover who has taken too long to show her true commitment. The lyrics suggest that the lover has been promising a lifelong partnership and security, but has failed to deliver on those promises. As a result, the love the singer once had for this person has turned to hate, and she vows to leave him behind.
The singer also implies that the lover has been playing games with her and using empty words to try to convince her to believe in him. She recognizes that his poetry is nothing but a product of his insecurity, and that his actions no longer match his words. In the end, she tells him that it's too late for him to win her back, and that he'll need to find someone else who will put up with his delayed devotion.
The song's lyrics offer an empowering message for anyone who has been strung along by a partner who fails to make good on their promises. It encourages listeners to stand up for themselves and to recognize when it's time to move on from a relationship that no longer serves them.
Line by Line Meaning
It seems you wanna give me
You appear to want to offer me
Oh, a life time of security
A long-lasting sense of safety and stability
Down on your dying knees
Begging for forgiveness and a chance to make things right
I watch you, babe, I watch you plead
Observing as you desperately implore me
But your words come much too late
Your words of affection and devotion are irrelevant now
My love for you has turned to hate
The affection I once felt for you has transformed into disdain
Cause you've taken too much time
Because you waited too long
To show me that you're mine
To prove your loyalty and commitment to me
When I drop you boy
When I break up with you
You'll need another toy
You'll need someone else to play with
One that won't stand up for herself
Someone who won't demand respect and equality
When I knock you down
When I figuratively bring you to your knees
You'll need another town
You'll have to leave your current surroundings
Where somebody's gonna talk to you
Somewhere you can feel heard and understood
You just let me wait
You made me wait for your commitment
Now it's too late
But now it doesn't matter anymore
For your delayed, delayed devotion
Because you took too long to show you care
You try to convince me
You attempt to persuade me
Oh, about the possibilities
Regarding the potential outcomes of our relationship
But I know that all your poetry
But I'm aware that all your sweet words
Just comes from insecurity
Are motivated by your feelings of instability and uncertainty
Cause your actions speak nothing no more
Your previous actions can no longer prove your love
When it's what I've been waiting for
When your attention and love is what I've desired
You played me for a fool for too long
You fooled me for an extended period of time
Blinded by your lies I never saw your all
I was deceived and didn't see who you truly were
I'm no longer under your spell
I'm no longer blindly under your influence
Hear it in a song
I express this through a piece of music
You can go to Hell
You can suffer the consequences of your actions
