Snap
Elizabeth Moen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did it work?
I want you to close your eyes
I want you to come to me
Dance all night with me slowly
You're the only I want to realize that this song is just a disguise
No one′s sure who I'm singing to
You should know I'm singing for you
When I snap fingertips
This trance will cease to exist
Still wish you would kiss my lips
But you only love me when I sing
When I snap fingertips
This trance will cease to exist
Still wish you would kiss my lips
But you only love me when I sing
The lyrics of Elizabeth Moen's song "Snap" convey a sense of longing for someone who only seems to appreciate her when she's singing. The singer expresses her desire to hypnotize this person and make them come to her as they dance the night away. However, she admits that the song is a disguise and isn't quite sure who she's really singing to, although she insists that the person she wants to reach is the only one who matters. She reveals that even though she wishes this person would kiss her, their love for her seems to be limited to her musical talent.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a one-sided relationship where the singer is hoping that her music will be enough to win the affections of someone who may only be interested in her for her performance abilities. By using the metaphor of hypnosis and trance, she expresses her longing and yearning for a deeper connection with this person, while also acknowledging that the reality might not quite match up with her desires.
