Jordan Rakei Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
we danced and gazed at the skyline
i felt at home
i lost myself in his first kiss
i found love
we held hands through the apple trees
i knew right then
i saw the morn
we sang songs through the subways
deeper...
yet quicker to fall
i found love
but it's home sweet home now
nude conversation
more time alone
i found love
has this love even found me?
felt deep for nothing
still i'm falling for you
i found love
has this love even found me?
felt deep for nothing
still i'm falling for you,
i found love
has this love even found me
felt deep for nothing
still i'm falling for you,
felt deep for nothing
still i'm falling for you,
felt deep for nothing
still i'm falling for you,
felt deep for nothing
still i'm falling for you,
felt deep for nothing
still i'm falling for you,
felt deep for nothing...
felt deep for nothing
felt deep for nothing, oh...
The lyrics to Jordan Rakei's song "Rooftop" describe the journey of finding love, losing oneself in it and questioning whether it was ever really found at all. The singer speaks of feeling at home and losing oneself in their partner's embrace while gazing out at the skyline. They hold hands and sing songs together, falling deeper in love with each other.

The song speaks to the universal theme of love and relationships, capturing the rollercoaster of emotions that comes with it. The lyrics are vivid and paint a picture of two people falling in love amidst the beauty of nature and the city. There's a sense of vulnerability in the singer's words as they question the authenticity of the love they've found.
Overall, "Rooftop" is a beautifully written song that explores the complexities of love and relationships through captivating lyrics and a soulful melody.

i found love
I have discovered a love that I cherish
we danced and gazed at the skyline
We moved rhythmically to music and admired the view of the city
i felt at home
I experienced a sense of belonging and comfort
i lost myself in his first kiss
I was completely immersed and carried away by his initial kiss
we held hands through the apple trees
We walked together through an orchard while holding hands
i knew right then
I understood at that very moment
i saw the morn
I caught sight of the morning sun
we sang songs through the subways
We vocalized musical notes while traveling on a train
deeper...
More profound and intense
yet quicker to fall
However, it was easier and faster to become emotionally invested
but it's home sweet home now
Although it may have been difficult, it is now warm and welcoming
nude conversation
A discussion that is candid and without pretense
more time alone
More time spent in solitude or isolation
has this love even found me?
I am questioning if this love has truly come into my life
felt deep for nothing
Emotions that were intense, but ultimately lacked substance or value
still i'm falling for you
Regardless, I am still falling in love with you
felt deep for nothing, oh...
The depth of feelings I had were meaningless, oh...

I have been listening to your music for the last couple of years (introduced, by your cut on Alpha Mist's CD); and, I am glad that I am digging deeper into your catalog.
I am usually hip, to the hot, new music not too-too long after it has been released...??? But, this is brand new to me, and it is already my favorite, "new" song.
You, sir...are becoming quite the pleasant surprise, sonically-speaking, even though I am MORE than a bit late.
CHEERS, Jordan Rakei :0).
DO WELL...

I wish this song was 10 mins long
@zinzibam4126
One of the best songs I've ever heard.
@deepersoul689
This song should have millions of views by now, like this is so underrated I don’t understand.
@tipsyonteaaa
It’s been ten years since I first heard his voice and it’s still so timeless.
@Rockberries
Man those feels hit me hard... This is haunting
@martaug9560
Painfully beautiful...
@giftmachabe1964
these are songs that make you appreciate that music is really a powerful emotional tool
@shakeandjake_1
Basically there's a couple here who split when the girlfriend leaves a note, takes a cab, and the guy's trying to find her and make up. It's backwards because of the inevitable tragedy that will happen but the beauty that started it
@The101Loveerr
Unbelievably beautiful song
@ShonTolliverMusic
1- whoa
2- WHOA
3- this was spectacular.
