Reservation For Two
Ill Niño Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's no time for running on empty
You like the way this violence makes us one
And I don't ever promise you everything
No, I don't ever promise you anything
That keeps you right here now we've come undone
Now we've got nothing
We can't believe
In all that is ours
If I would have nothing still would you want me
Can we pretend
That we've had enough
If I would have nothing still would you want me
To be as one
To be as one
To be as one
And I don't ever promise you anything
No, I don't ever promise your diamond ring
I keep you right here and now we've come undone
And we've got nothing
We can't believe
In all that is ours
If I would have nothing still would you want me
Can we pretend
That we've had enough
If I would have nothing still would you want me
To be as one
To be as one
We can't believe
In all that is ours
If I would have nothing still would you want me
Can we pretend
That we've had enough
If I would have nothing still would you want me
Can we believe
Will you believe me
Can we pretend
Would you still want me
To be as one
The lyrics of Ill Niño's song Reservation For Two seem to speak to a tumultuous relationship. The artist seems to be describing a situation where he and his partner find excitement in their intense relationship, possibly through arguing or pushing each other away. These lines: "And I like when you reject me / There's no time for running on empty / You like the way this violence makes us one" suggest that they find connection through the tension between them. However, the artist also seems to acknowledge that he can't make promises to his partner and that their relationship may not survive: "And I don't ever promise you everything / No, I don't ever promise you anything / That keeps you right here now we've come undone / Now we've got nothing."
Despite these doubts and uncertainties, the artist asks their partner if they would still want him even if he had nothing to offer: "If I would have nothing still would you want me / To be as one." This line suggests that the artist is questioning whether their partner truly loves them for who they are or for what they can give them. The repeated refrain of "Can we pretend / That we've had enough / If I would have nothing still would you want me" seems to be a plea for reassurance that their partner would still want them even if everything else fell apart.
