Maps
Freya Ridings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm straight
Enough
Oh, say, say, say
Oh, say, say, say
Oh, say, say, say
Wait, they don't love you like I love you
Wait, they don't love you like I love you
Wait, they don't love you like I love you
Made off
Don't stray
My kind's your kind
I'll stay the same
Pack up
Don't stray
Oh, say, say, say
Oh, say, say, say
Wait, they don't love you like I love you
Wait, they don't love you like I love you
Maps
Wait, they don't love you like I love you
Wait, they don't love you like I love you
Wait, they don't love you like I love you
Maps
Wait, they don't love you like I love you
Wait, they don't love you like I love you
Wait, they don't love you like I love you
Maps, wait
The lyrics to "Maps" by Freya Ridings tell the story of relationship that is falling apart. The singer is packing up and getting ready to leave, but they are also pleading with their partner not to stray. They are saying that their love is different from anyone else's love and that their partner will never find someone who loves them the way that they do. The repeated line of "Wait, they don't love you like I love you" emphasizes the singer's deep love and desperation to salvage their relationship.
The use of the word "Maps" in the chorus is interesting because it is not directly referenced in the rest of the song. However, one interpretation of this could be that the singer is searching for a map to guide them through the rough terrain of their relationship. The repetition of the chorus highlights the singer's need for direction and guidance in their love life.
Another interesting aspect of this song is the use of only a few simple chords throughout the entire piece. This simplicity adds to the raw emotion of the lyrics and allows the focus to remain on the message of the song. Additionally, Freya Ridings's powerful vocals convey the emotion of the lyrics and give the song a haunting quality.
