Satisfaction
F.T Island Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We could runaway just you and me
So sweet to taste, so easily
Oh how could I mistake your love for something bittersweet?
Blissful satisfaction
A distraction to all that's going on now
In the background
What it is that I can do
To give this blissful satisfaction back to you
It's the way you are
The way you look at us
You lift me up but its just for fun
You don't have to ask
You know it's always good
How could I mistake your love
For something that wasn't enough?
Blissful satisfaction
A distraction to all that's going on now
In the background
I've been thinking about
What it is that I can do
To give this blissful satisfaction back to you
What it is that I can do
To give this blissful satisfaction back to you
If I see you there
Will it come flooding back?
You give me blissful satisfaction
In the mellow light of a lonely night
Would you take me back?
"Is this love?" you ask
Blissful satisfaction
A distraction to all that's going on now
In the background
I've been thinking about
What it is that I can do
To give this blissful satisfaction back to you
What it is that I can do
To give this blissful satisfaction back to you
The lyrics to F.T Island's song "Satisfaction" encompass the feelings of being intoxicated by love and the desire to reciprocate that blissful feeling. The opening lines, "I'm higher than I need to be, we could runaway just you and me," suggest a sense of euphoria and escapism that accompanies being in love. The singer finds the taste of love to be sweet and easily captivating, but at the same time, questions their ability to recognize whether this love is genuine or merely bittersweet.
The chorus repeats the phrase "blissful satisfaction," which serves as both the title and central theme of the song. The singer acknowledges that this love acts as a distraction from the chaos and problems around them. They ponder about how they can give back the same blissful satisfaction they have received from their loved one.
The second verse emphasizes the impact of the loved one's presence. They have the ability to uplift and elevate the singer's spirits, though it may be just for fun, leading to some uncertainty about the authenticity of the relationship. The singer reflects on their initial misunderstanding of this love, mistaking it for something that may not have been enough.
In the bridge, the possibility of seeing the loved one again triggers a surge of memories and emotions. The singer wonders if being in their presence will make all the blissful satisfaction come flooding back. The final lines express the longing for reconnection and the yearning to answer the question posed by their loved one: "Is this love?"
Overall, "Satisfaction" delves into the complex emotions of being in love and the desire to reciprocate the blissful satisfaction experienced in the relationship.
