Thrills
El May Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Way your THRILLS are, yours is still that
Little seat, cynical, taking off of your world
Is it still fun? Are you all done
Standing by, while you stop at every station
I can't wait, I'm not patient
While you talk to, they're all trying to change you
You're the best on, you're coming
We already know, we get along
I've wanted it if you'll be on to some
Of idea, because I've been your friend all these years
And all that talk is not an invitation
I'm above that, where your THRILLS AT
I'm not one, but I know how to shake it
If you don't try, make your move cause standing by
You stop at every station,
I can't wait, I'm not patient
While you talk to, they're all trying to change you
We already know, we get along
I've wanted it if you're holding off
And down, and feel
Because I've been your friend all these years
Will you hide, from yourself
Do you walk yourself? You're gonna stay in your shell?
I don't know your truths
I could play it right now,???
Plans of why you turn to
I'm not shy but he's so private
Way your THRILLS are, yours is still that
Little seat, cynical, taking off of your world
Is it still fun? Are you all done
Standing by, while you stop at every station
I can't wait, I'm not patient
I'm your tempting, I'm your tempting
I'm not your tempting
I'm your tempting, I'm your tempting
I'm not your tempting
I'm your tempting, I'm your tempting
I'm not your tempting
I'm your tempting, I'm your tempting
I'm not your tempting
The song "Thrills" by El May is a complex exploration of the dynamics in relationships, particularly romantic ones where one partner seems to be holding back and the other is eager for more. It highlights the challenges faced by the person who is more open and willing to take risks, while the other is hesitant and private. The lyrics suggest that while the person who is more reserved may be content with the status quo, the other is eager for more thrills and excitement. The repeated references to "Thrills" in the chorus suggest that the person who is more open is seeking a more exciting and fulfilling relationship, while the other is content with what they currently have.
The first verse explores the idea of someone who is private and closed off, while the second verse highlights the frustration and longing of the more open partner. The bridge acknowledges the challenge of trying to understand someone who is so resistant to change, and the chorus offers a plea for the other person to be more open and willing to take risks in the relationship.
Overall, "Thrills" is a poignant reminder that relationships can be complex and challenging, and that sometimes it takes patience and persistence to build the kind of connection we truly desire.
