Ferry Corsten Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Truth, emptiness
Fight back with every kiss
So out of love with you
Baby I’m waiting
I feel nothing
No hate
Won’t dare hear me crying for you
Tell me something
Does it hurt getting nothing
No tears or see me suffering for you?
Would I need you
Would I want you
Wouldn’t need to if you had loved me right
Did you have to?
Did you want to?
God if you needed to, then why did you hold so tight?
(You never noticed how harder your words hit)
So tight
(I’ll always remember how you said forever)
So tight
So don’t let me, don’t let me stop you
I will not trust you again
These lyrics depict the emotions of someone who has been hurt and betrayed by their lover. The opening lines "Truth, emptiness, fight back with every kiss" suggest a constant struggle with the truth of the relationship and the emptiness they feel inside. The line "So out of love with you" shows that the singer has fallen out of love, and it seems like he/she is waiting for something that will never come.
The lyrics then move on to express how the singer is feeling. "I feel nothing, no hate, no reminiscing" suggests that the emotions are completely gone, and there is no feeling of hate or wishing to go back in time. Instead, the singer is waiting for something to happen, but it doesn't.
The lines "Would I need you, would I want you, wouldn’t need to if you had loved me right" suggest that the singer is questioning the love that they had for their partner. He/she is wondering if they would even need or want their partner if they had been loved right. The next line "Did you have to, did you want to, God if you needed to, then why did you hold so tight?" shows that the singer is asking for an explanation from the partner for why they held on tight to something that was clearly not working.
The final lines "So don’t let me, don’t let me stop you, I will not trust you again" suggest that the singer has realized that they cannot trust their partner again and are trying to let go.
