Signs

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did you repeat what we got up to?
She's the one you'll regret
I'm the one, don't forget
Yeah, she's just filling places that I left (bless)
Walking down the streets we once danced 'round
Shadows of the past you can't come down
So pretend you still ignore me while you're looking at my stories
Running through airports together
Buying your favorite sweater
It's green, kinda grey and yellow
That I see you gave to her
And did you buy her tulips too?
Was I just not enough for you?
So sorry, guess you didn't feel it too
I'm sending you

Could always go and get her name tattooed
Another dumb thing you can't undo
It's the one you'll regret
I'm the one you upset
Yeah, you're just filling spaces that I left
Driving through the city, the lost and found
We were living on a cloud you can't come down
Acting like you don't adore me
While she's taking all the glory
Do you see me when you kiss her in the morning?
Running through airports together
Buying your favorite sweater
It's green, kinda grey and yellow
That I see you gave to her
And did you buy her tulips too?
Was I just not enough for you?
So sorry, I guess you didn't feel it too

I know that you're watching from a distance
And can see how much I miss ya

Happier without me
But maybe that's just because I'm lonely
Read between the lines and tell me

The lyrics of Gia Lily's song "Signs" seem to be about a woman who is sending signs to her former lover about her displeasure with the way he's moved on with another woman. She sees him taking his new partner to places they used to frequent together and wonders if he's repeating the same things they used to do. However, she feels that the new woman is nowhere near as valuable as she was in the past, and that she's only filling the gaps that she left behind. They walk down streets where they once danced together, but he can't escape the shadows of their past. He pretends to ignore her while looking at her stories, but she knows he still remembers the moment he saw her.
The woman is hurt that her former lover seemingly didn't appreciate her enough when they were together, as evidenced by his buying her favorite sweater and tulips for the new woman. She wonders if she wasn't enough for him, and it saddens her. She's sending him signs to indicate her dissatisfaction with how he's moved on so quickly, and she's disappointed that he's crossed the line. She's trying to move on herself but finds it hard to do so when the memories of their past are so strong.
Overall, the song seems to be a heart-wrenching story of a woman who's trying to come to terms with the end of a relationship and the difficulties of seeing her former partner with someone else.
Line by Line Meaning
I saw you took her to that golf course too
I know you took her to the same place we went to, did you do the same things we did?
Did you repeat what we got up to?
Did you repeat the same actions we performed together?
She's the one you'll regret
You made a mistake by choosing her over me
I'm the one, don't forget
I was the one who cared for you and stood by you
Yeah, she's just filling places that I left (bless)
You are still trying to fill the void that I left in your life
Walking down the streets we once danced 'round
Remembering the time when we used to dance together on the same streets
Shadows of the past you can't come down
You are still haunted by the memories of our past relationship
So pretend you still ignore me while you're looking at my stories
Acting like you don't care about me while secretly checking my social media updates
Just remembering the moment that you saw me
Thinking about the time when we first met and how things were different
Running through airports together
Recalling a time when we were so in love that we ran through airports together
Buying your favorite sweater
Remembering how I used to know your taste so well that I could buy your favorite sweater without asking you
It's green, kinda grey and yellow
Describing the color of the sweater I bought for you
That I see you gave to her
Realizing that you gave the same sweater to her
And did you buy her tulips too?
Wondering if you did the same romantic gesture for her that you did for me
Was I just not enough for you?
Feeling insecure about whether or not I was enough for you
So sorry, guess you didn't feel it too
Realizing that you did not feel the same love for me as I did for you
Could always go and get her name tattooed
Suggesting that you might want to get her name tattooed on your body now
Another dumb thing you can't undo
Insinuating that getting her name tattooed would be a foolish decision you could never take back
It's the one you'll regret
Implying that getting her name tattooed would be a decision you would regret
I'm the one you upset
Knowing that choosing her over me caused me pain and heartbreak
Yeah, you're just filling spaces that I left
Realizing that she is only filling the empty holes in your life that I used to occupy
Driving through the city, the lost and found
Driving aimlessly through the city, hoping for a sign that will guide you back to me
We were living on a cloud you can't come down
Recollecting a time when we were on top of the world together and no one could bring us down
Acting like you don't adore me
Pretending that you don't care about me anymore
While she's taking all the glory
Meanwhile, she is reaping the rewards of your love and affection
Do you see me when you kiss her in the morning?
Wondering if you still think about me even when you are with her
I know that you're watching from a distance
Acknowledging that you are still keeping tabs on me even from afar
And can see how much I miss ya
Knowing that you are aware of how much I still miss you
Isn't it so damn fucking obvious
Questioning why you can't see how obvious it is that we are meant to be together
I'm collecting my scars and breaking my heart
Trying to move on but feeling heartbroken every time I think about you
Happier without me
Acknowledging the possibility that you might be happier without me, even though it hurts
But maybe that's just because I'm lonely
Questioning if my perception of you being happy without me is influenced by my own loneliness
Read between the lines and tell me
Asking you to look deeper and try to understand what I am really feeling
Can you see the signs?
I am sending you subtle hints that I still love you and want to be with you
Shame you crossed the line
Expressing my disappointment that you chose to pursue someone else instead of me
