Every Breath You Take
Emi Fujita Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take
I'll be watching you
Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay
Oh, can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night, I can only see your face
I look around, but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby please
Oh, can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Every move you make, every step you take
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
The song Every Breath You Take by Emi Fujita is a melancholic and haunting ballad about an obsessive and possessive lover. The lyrics speak of a lover who watches every move, every breath, every action, and every word of their love interest. The singer claims that she is always watching her lover, keeping a close eye on them, and longing for their embrace. The song expresses the feelings of heartache, desperation, and longing for love that can never be fulfilled.
The lyrics highlight a sense of obsession and possessiveness that is unhealthy and disturbing. The singer claims ownership over her love interest, stating that they belong to her. It is clear that the singer is deeply emotional and heartbroken, resulting in a sense of desperation to keep their loved one close. This can be seen in the repetition of the lyrics, "every move you make, every step you take, I'll be watching you." Despite the obsessive nature of the lyrics, the song has a hauntingly beautiful melody that evokes a sense of nostalgia and sadness.
