Look At Me
Ivy & Gold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But now I'm on the sidelines, no use on the front line
Your body has been bruised and so has mine,
There's nowhere to run, no place to try and hide
(No place to try and hide)
I'm so afraid to hear, these words that I so fear
You've been weathered like a stone, shaped to cut me to the bone
Is there a price to pay, to bring back yesterday?
'Coz you can't even look at me, or even share the air I'm breathing
Will it ever be the same, now that I'm the only one you blame?
Will you ever look at me; remember how your heart was beating?
Remember how your heart was beating,
Something like the way you're aching
To get me out the way, like a lion sees its prey
You're better off not knowing how much I can take.
Before alarms start ringing, and the pieces of my heart stop clinging
To every word you say, every step you start to take
Is another leap from me, I can't make
Is there a price to pay, to bring back yesterday?
'Coz you can't even look at me, or even share the air I'm breathing
Will it ever be the same, now that I'm the only one you blame?
Will you ever look at me; remember how your heart was beating?
And in the quiet, it's like we're growing back to be
Two branches of the same old tree
Burnt in the fire, burnt in the fire
Is there a price to pay, to bring back yesterday?
'Coz you can't even look at me, or even share the air I'm breathing
Will it ever be the same, now that I'm the only one you blame?
Will you ever look at me; remember how your heart was beating?
The song "Look at Me" by Ivy & Gold is a heart-wrenching ballad that reflects the pain and hurt of a relationship that has gone sour. The opening lines of the song allude to a promise made by the person being addressed in the song, that they would always be there to fight any war. However, the singer now finds themselves relegated to the sidelines, feeling helpless and unable to protect their partner. The use of the metaphor of a war and front line creates an intense atmosphere of conflict and tension.
The second verse hints at a deeper issue in the relationship, where both parties have been hurt badly. The singer reveals that they are afraid to hear the words they fear and that their partner has been weathered to the point of being able to cut them to the bone. The use of the stone metaphor strengthens the theme of hardness and pain in the song.
The chorus of the song reflects the sorrow of the singer, who longs for the return of a previous time when they were happy together. The lines, "Will it ever be the same, now that I'm the only one you blame? Will you ever look at me; remember how your heart was beating?" express a deep sense of longing and sadness. Ultimately, the song appears to reflect a sense of resignation, as the singer accepts that the relationship may never be the same again but still expresses hope that it might.

You said there was no war we couldn't fight
You assured me that we could overcome anything as a team
But now I'm on the sidelines, no use on the front line
But now I feel left out and useless in our relationship
Your body has been bruised and so has mine,
Both of us have been hurt emotionally and physically
There's nowhere to run, no place to try and hide
We can't avoid facing our problems with each other
(No place to try and hide)
I'm so afraid to hear, these words that I so fear
I'm scared to hear the harsh truth you may tell me
You've been weathered like a stone, shaped to cut me to the bone
Your experiences have made you harsh and cold towards me
To the bone
Is there a price to pay, to bring back yesterday?
Is there anything we can do to fix our past mistakes?
'Coz you can't even look at me, or even share the air I'm breathing
You can't stand to be around me and won't even acknowledge me
Will it ever be the same, now that I'm the only one you blame?
Will our relationship ever recover, now that you blame me for everything?
Will you ever look at me; remember how your heart was beating?
Will you ever see me the way you used to, when you were in love with me?
Remember how your heart was beating,
Something like the way you're aching
I hope you feel the same kind of pain that I'm feeling
To get me out the way, like a lion sees its prey
You are trying to push me away like a predator attacking its prey
You're better off not knowing how much I can take.
It's probably better if you don't test my limits too much
Before alarms start ringing, and the pieces of my heart stop clinging
Before I have a breakdown and lose all hope in us
To every word you say, every step you start to take
To everything you do, every decision you make
Is another leap from me, I can't make
Is another step further away from me, and I can't handle that
And in the quiet, it's like we're growing back to be
In moments of stillness, it feels like we're reconnecting
Two branches of the same old tree
Together again, like we used to be before all the hurt
Burnt in the fire, burnt in the fire
But still scarred by our past mistakes and the damage they caused
