The Gift
Greenroom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Butterflies inside.
And I feel it.
I feel the flame you pass through me.
Devoted pleasant
Is is how I feel when I'm with you.
And I know I know
What to feel now.
See in me.
And I want you to see
What I see in you.
Gleeful eyes. I see
Butterflies.
The lyrics of Greenroom's song The Gift convey a sense of vulnerability and admiration towards someone special. The first part of the lyrics describe the singer's observation of the person with downcast eyes, which suggests a shyness or hesitation. Despite this, the singer can sense the butterflies, or the fluttery feeling in one's stomach associated with excitement, inside that person. This leads to the singer feeling the "flame" of the other person passing through them, seemingly indicating a romantic connection.
The second part of the lyrics describe how happy the singer feels when they are with the other person, who they refer to as "devoted pleasant." This person makes the singer feel like they "know what to feel now," implying a sense of comfort and understanding. The singer also acknowledges that they see in the other person what the other person sees in them, indicating a mutual attraction and admiration for each other. The second verse ends with the singer expressing their desire for the other person to see the same qualities in themselves that the singer sees in them, completing the theme of mutual admiration.
Overall, the lyrics of The Gift celebrate the joy and sweetness of a potential romantic connection between two people who share a mutual admiration and vulnerability towards each other.
