Elias Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby why don´t you open up?
Man it´s hard for me to see when your not locked up.
Your heart is blind to me won't you let me in.
Baby, why don´t you let me in?

It´s not that I am asking for it,
but i need to know the answer why, love never seems to find a way to me in time.
I´m not sure if I wanna know, but I´m sure there is a reason why,

Love never seems to find it´s way to make you mine.

Everything I´ve got inside, that keeps hanging on my shoulders, on my mind.
And when I'm looking for a way, some way out.
Then you are just holding me too goddamn tight.

It´s not that i am asking for it,
but i need to know the answer why, love never seems to find a way to me in time.

I´m not sure if i wanna know, but i´m sure there´s a reason why,
love never seems to find it´s way to make you mine.

Overall Meaning

The beginning of the song establishes a feeling of disconnect between two people in a relationship. The singer is pleading with their partner to open up to them, as it is difficult for them to understand their partner's thoughts and feelings when they keep them locked up. The "your heart is blind to me" line suggests that the singer is attempting to connect with their partner emotionally, but they are met with resistance. The repeated question "Baby, why don’t you let me in?" reflects their frustration and desire for closeness.

The second verse explores the theme of unrequited love. The singer is not necessarily expecting their love to be reciprocated, but they are searching for answers as to why love always seems to elude them. The line "love never seems to find a way to make you mine" implies that the singer wants to be with their partner, but something always gets in the way of that happening. The repetition of "I’m not sure if I wanna know" conveys a sense of uncertainty and hesitation towards finding out the reason behind their failed attempts at love.

The chorus further emphasizes the central theme of the song - the struggle to find love. The lyrics suggest that even when the singer has everything they need inside, they are unable to find a way to make it work with their partner. The line "love never seems to find a way to me in time" conveys a sense of urgency and frustration, as if time is constantly slipping through the singer's fingers.
