Tangled Up
Emerald Caro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down the road to both of you
Did I go Dutch?
This is too much!
With all the money in the world
You could never buy this girl
Quite enough
It will be tough
Make the letters write in luminous, and blue
And get me waking up
Shake it up, tangled up
You could be breaking up, making up, tangled up
You can't be faking it, making it from my love
With all this tragedy, don't get me tangled up
I can't separate your sins,
To me you're acting like you're twins, this is a mess
Is this a test?
How many guesses do I get?
Till only one of you is left
You're quite the same,
If love's the gain
I want to see emotions coloring the sky
To the point it will make me wanna cry
And get me waking up
Shake it up, tangled up
You could be breaking up, making up, tangled up
You can't be faking it, making it from my love
With all this tragedy, don't get me tangled up
Tangled up
Treating girls like a yo-yo
Is a no no of monumental kind
If playing with your string
Happens to be your thing
It's easy to say to both, oh nevermind
And get me waking up
Shake it up, tangled up
You could be breaking up, making up, tangled up
You can't be faking it, making it from my love
With all this tragedy, don't get me tangled up
Oh oh tangled up
Oh oh tangled up
Oh oh tangled up
Oh oh tangled up
The lyrics to Emerald Caro's song "Tangled Up" describe a narrator who is caught in a confusing love triangle. She describes her experience as being tangled up between two lovers who are difficult to differentiate. The first verse implies that the singer has been pursuing both of her love interests equally, going "Dutch" and not being able to choose between them. She recognizes that no amount of money could buy her love, and that she wants her lovers to express their feelings in an emotional way, rather than with material objects.
In the chorus, the singer repeats the phrase "tangled up" several times, emphasizing her confusion and frustration with her current situation. She wants her lovers to be honest with her and not "fake" their love for her. The second verse describes the singer's difficulty in distinguishing between her two lovers, as they are acting similarly and making it harder for her to make a choice. She feels like she is being tested and wants to see a genuine emotional display from them.
Line by Line Meaning
I took the perfect avenue,
I found the ideal path towards both of you.
Down the road to both of you
I moved towards both of you.
Did I go Dutch?
Did I pay for myself?
This is too much!
This is overwhelming!
With all the money in the world
Even if you have infinite money,
You could never buy this girl
You can never buy my love.
Quite enough
But loving me will not be easy.
It will be tough
Being romantic with me will have hardships.
If romancing me with neons is something you should do
If you want to woo me with flashy and thrilling methods,
Make the letters write in luminous, and blue
Make the words stand out in bright, blue lights.
And get me waking up
Excite me and make me come alive.
Shake it up, tangled up
Create mixed emotions in me.
You could be breaking up, making up, tangled up
You could break up with me, makeup with me, or keep me in confusion.
You can't be faking it, making it from my love
You can't fake being in love with me.
With all this tragedy, don't get me tangled up
Don't complicate my already difficult life.
I can't separate your sins,
I can't tell which one of you is guilty.
To me you're acting like you're twins, this is a mess
To me, you seem identical, and this is confusing.
Is this a test?
Is this a trial?
How many guesses do I get?
How many chances do I have to guess the right answer?
Till only one of you is left
Until I can choose only one of you.
You're quite the same,
You both seem so alike.
If love's the gain
If love is what I'll get from this situation.
I want to see emotions coloring the sky
I want to witness an outpouring of emotions.
To the point it will make me wanna cry
To the point that it moves me to tears.
Treating girls like a yo-yo
Manipulating girls like a toy.
Is a no no of monumental kind
It's a huge mistake.
If playing with your string
If stringing along women
Happens to be your thing
Is something you enjoy doing.
It's easy to say to both, oh nevermind
It's easy to say that you don't want either of us.
Oh oh tangled up
Repeated chorus.

Tangled Up
I took the perfect avenue, down the road to both of you
Did I go dutch?
This is too much!
With all the money in the world
You could never buy this girl
Quite enough, it will be tough
If romancing me with neons is something you should do
Make the letters bright and luminous and blue
And get me waking up
Shaken up
Tangled up
You could be quaking up, making up
Tangled up
You can’t be faking it,
Making it for my love
Before it's tragedy, don’t get me tangled up
I can’t separate your sins,
To me you’re acting like you’re twins
This is a mess,
Is this a test?
How many guesses do I get?
Till only one of you is left
You’re quite the same,
If love’s the game
I want to see emotions coloring the sky
To the point it will make me wanna cry
And get me waking up
Shaken up
Tangled up
You could be quaking up, making up
Tangled up
You can’t be faking it,
Making it for my love
Before it's tragedy, don’t get me tangled up
Treating girls like a yo-yo is a no no of monumental kind
If playing with your string happens to be your thing
It’s easy to say to both, oh nevermind
And get me waking up
Shaken up
Tangled up
You could be quaking up, making up
Tangled up
You can’t be faking it,
Making it for my love
Before it's tragedy, don’t get me tangled up
Tangled up
Tangled up

Tangled up
Enroscada
Eu peguei a avenida perfeita, no caminho para ambos
Eu falei grego?
Isso é demais!
Com todo o dinheiro do mundo
Você nunca poderia comprar esta menina
O suficiente, vai ser difícil
Se me namorar com neons é algo que você deve fazer
Que as letras sejam brilhosas e iluminadas e azuis
E me deixe acordada
Remexida
Enroscada
Você poderia estar terminando, inventando
Enroscada
Você não pode estar fingindo isso,
Inventando isso para o meu amor
Depois desta tragédia, não me deixe enroscada
Eu não consigo separar os seus pecados,
Para mim, você está agindo como os seus gêmeos
Esta é uma bagunça,
Isso é um teste?
Quantas tentativas eu tenho?
Até que apenas um de vocês vá embora
Você é o mesmo,
Se o amor é o jogo
Eu quero ver emoções colorindo o céu
Até o ponto que me faça querer chorar.
E me deixe acordada
Remexida
Enroscada
Você poderia estar terminando, inventando
Enroscada
Você não pode estar fingindo isso,
Inventando isso para o meu amor
Depois desta tragédia, não me deixe enroscada
Tratar garotas como io-iô é um erro monumental
Se brincar com suas cordas acabou sendo sua praia
É melhor dizer para ambos, oh esquece!
E me deixe acordada
Remexida
Enroscada
Você poderia estar terminando, inventando
Enroscada
Você não pode estar fingindo isso,
Inventando isso para o meu amor
Depois desta tragédia, não me deixe enroscada
Enroscada
Enroscada
Enroscada

Isn't it wonderful? All this cultures mixed up: a beautiful Dutch lady who happened to own such a lovely voice, singing in a classic 40's-50's style with some Argentine Tango in it... We love you so much Miss Emerald!! <3
@alexandersteffen7805
argentine or Uruguayan. the tango is from the river plate
@leilakovacs2326
tango is argentine!! what people doesn't really know is the nationality of Gardel that's between Argentina, Uruguay and even Europe....
@doot1745

i prefer this version more than the remix. don’t get me wrong i love both of them,, but the original just feels so classy and weirdly calming whereas the remix is so quick and a bit too much sometimes haha
