Every Breath You Take
Floortje Smit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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, I'll be watching you
Oh, can't you see you belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every step you take
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 and 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
I'll be watching you
Every step you take
Every move you make
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
The song "Every Breath You Take" by Floortje Smit is about an obsessive and possessive love. The lyrics are directed towards an individual who the singer watches very closely, monitoring their every move and action. The singer expresses how their heart aches with every step the other person takes, and that they long for the other person's presence and embrace.
The repeated phrase "I'll be watching you" is a clear indication of the song's theme of obsession, as the singer is constantly watching and keeping tabs on the other person. The lyrics also suggest that the other person belongs to the singer, indicating a possessive and controlling nature. The second verse adds to this theme with lines like "Every smile you fake, every claim you stake, I'll be watching you." The singer is not only watching the other person but is analyzing their behavior and intentions.
Overall, the song has a haunting quality, with an eerie melody that emphasizes the song's obsessive nature. The lyrics are a warning to the other person that they are being watched, and there is an implicit threat that the singer may act if the other person were to break their bond or leave them.

Floortje is gewoon een zeer goede zangeres, daar kan niemand zich onderuit kletsen. Of zei de winnaar is, dat is een vraag die bij velen door het hoofd spookt. Every Breath You Take , She Wolf , Alone & Heavy cross zijn de nummers (bijna allen ^^) die mij het meeste bijbleven .. Zei verdiend zeker een 2e kans, en met TVOH nu als steunpilaar moet het zeker goedkomen voor Floortje. Neem nog een paar goede nummers op, en dan heb je een fantastisch aantal songs van Floortje. Ik ben fan ! Suc6 Floor!
