Moments
Jabs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't tell me any dreams
Never seen you fall so hard
Do you even know where you are
You don't - me with your ooh's and aah's
You don't fool me with your fake applause
I'd rather lie, not cross my reasons
Moments
Unforeign sounds
I'm two feet underground
Hoping
That one day you see me as I am
Don't buy me any promise rings (don't buy me any)
Cus I can't promise you a thing
I've never seen you try so hard
I don't even know who you are
You don't - me with your ooh's and aah's
You don't fool me with your fake applause
I'd rather lie, not cross my reasons
Love is strange, with the season
Moments
Unforeign sounds
I'm two feet underground
Hoping
That one day you see me as I am
Goodbye's are getting old
What is love when you're fucking it up
I could be a house (?) in your love
Scrolling through your head
I could give you all that I've got
You don't - me with your ooh's and aah's
You don't fool me with your fake applause
I'd rather lie, not cross my reasons
Love is stranger with the season
Moments
Unforeign sounds
I'm two feet underground
Hoping
That one day you see me as I am
The song "Moments" by Jabs is a reflection on the complexities of love and relationships. The lyrics start off by rejecting the idea of materialistic gestures or empty promises as a way of expressing love, instead emphasizing the importance of genuine connection and understanding between two people. The opening lines "Don't buy me any fancy things / Don't tell me any dreams" establish this sentiment early on, indicating that the singer values authenticity over superficial appearances.
The chorus contains the repeated phrase "You don't - me with your ooh's and aah's / You don't fool me with your fake applause", which suggests that the singer is wary of insincere flattery or manipulation. They would rather be honest, even if it means confronting difficult truths or admitting vulnerabilities. The line "Love is strange, with the season" acknowledges that relationships can be unpredictable and subject to change over time, but despite this, moments of connection and intimacy are still important.
The final verse sees the singer expressing uncertainty and frustration about their relationship, questioning what love really means when it's not working out. They offer themselves fully, even though they feel unsure if their gesture will be reciprocated. The closing lines "Hoping / That one day you see me as I am" convey a sense of longing for understanding and acceptance, even as the singer grapples with their own doubts and fears.
