Signs
Joe Saan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sleeping in your bed
I
Don't know how, people do this
Isn't it obvious
That I, needed more than just
Tonight
You didn't call, in the morning
After what we said
I
Thought you would, guess you wouldn't
It ain't like you to say
You want me
Still I let you have it
Feeding your bad habits
Baby this is damage
Is the only reason that you want me babe
Is the only reason that you want me babe
Is the only reason that you want me babe
Cause you're lonely babe
Cause you're lonely babe
Is the only reason that you want me babe
Is the only reason that you want me babe
Cause you're lonely babe
Cause you're lonely babe
Cause you're lonely babe
I guess it's over now
That I'm done texting
I guess it's over now
Since I'm not present
Constantly giving you
My attention
I'm getting nowhere with
Your affection
No, No
Is the only reason that you want me babe
Is the only reason that you want me babe
Is the only reason that you want me babe
Cause you're lonely babe
Cause you're lonely babe
Is the only reason that you want me babe
Is the only reason that you want me babe
Cause you're lonely babe
Cause you're lonely babe
Cause you're lonely babe
The song "Signs" by Joe Saan is a reflection on a one night stand and the aftermath of it. The first verse talks about waking up in the morning with someone after spending the night, and feeling unsure about the situation. The singer admits to not knowing how people handle situations like this, and wonders if it's obvious that they wanted more than just one night. The chorus reveals that the person they slept with didn't call them in the morning, and the singer begins to question the other person's intentions. The second verse continues with the singer realizing that this person is only interested in them when they are lonely, and that they are just feeding their bad habits.
Throughout the song, the singer seems to be struggling with the idea of being used and not being valued for who they are. They are left feeling alone and unimportant, and it becomes clear that this one night stand was not satisfying for them. The repetition of the chorus, "Is the only reason that you want me babe/Cause you're lonely babe," drives home the idea that the other person is not interested in the singer as a person, but rather as a temporary solution to their own loneliness.
Overall, "Signs" is a somber and introspective look at a situation that many people find themselves in. It speaks to the desire for a deeper connection with others and the pain of feeling used and discarded.
