Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You run through me
Taking over
Internally and completely
You lead the way
I run behind
You say jump
And I say what height
King of my castle
Playing beats on my heart strings
Like Cupid's studio

Intentions
The lyrics of Gorgon City's song "Intentions" portray a relationship where one person is infatuated with the other, allowing the other to take complete control internally. The imagery of "vibrant rivers" running through the singer conveys the intensity of the emotions felt by the infatuated person. They are willing to follow the other person's lead, even jumping at their command. The lioness and king metaphors further emphasize the power dynamic in the relationship, with the other person's fortress and castle representing their strength and control.
The chorus of the song repeats the word "intentions," highlighting the theme of the song - the intentions of the other person in the relationship. The use of "good bad" suggests that the singer is not sure whether their emotions are being reciprocated and whether the intentions of the other person are genuine. The lyrics also mention manipulation, adding another layer to the complexity of the relationship.
Overall, the lyrics of "Intentions" explore the power dynamic and uncertainties in a one-sided relationship.
