Devotion
KÅRP Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Laugh honey laugh
This controverse between us
Walk into the room with a needle into my eye
Jump honey jump it's dangerous this alligator surrounding us

How I believed in our devotion
All I require is pure motion
Oh and how these lines are an ocean

Not to be soaked inside emotions

Eat up my head, my heart, all of my being
I still dream of you
Leave honey leave
These broken hearts between us

How I believed in our devotion
All I require is pure motion
Oh and how these lines are an ocean
Not to be soaked inside emotions

How I believed in our devotion
All I require is pure motion

Oh and how these lines are an ocean
Not to be soaked inside emotions

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of KÅRP's song "Devotion" seem to paint a picture of a tumultuous and possibly toxic relationship. The first stanza speaks of a "controverse" or argument between the singer and their partner, with the partner seemingly injecting some kind of substance into the singer's eye. The second line implies a sense of danger, with the presence of an "alligator surrounding us." The chorus, however, reveals that despite this chaos, the singer still believed in their devotion to their partner. The lines "All I require is pure motion" and "How these lines are an ocean / Not to be soaked inside emotions" suggest a desire for purity and clarity in their connection, perhaps in contrast to the dizzying emotional whirlwind they find themselves in.

The second stanza continues to communicate the extremes of the relationship, with the partner seemingly consuming the singer's entire being ("Eat up my head, my heart, all of my being"). The final line, "I still dream of you," suggests that despite the heartbreak and brokenness, the singer is unable to let go of their deep feelings for their partner. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the theme of believing in the devotion despite the chaos and confusion.
