Every Breath You Take
KITCHEN 1 - The Police Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take
I'll be watchin' you
Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay
I'll be watchin' you
Oh, can't you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take
Every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I'll be watchin' you
Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night, I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep cryin', "Baby, baby, please"
Oh, can't you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take
Every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I'll be watchin' you
Every move you make, every step you take
I'll be watchin' you
I'll be watchin' you
Every breath you take, every move you make
Every bond you break (I'll be watchin' you)
Every single day, every word you say
Every game you play (I'll be watchin' you)
Every move you make, every vow you break
Every smile you fake (I'll be watchin' you)
Every single day, every word you say
Every game you play (I'll be watchin' you)
Every breath you take, every move you make
Every bond you break (I'll be watchin' you)
Every single day, every word you say
Every game you play (I'll be watchin' you)
Every move you make, every vow you break
Every smile you fake (I'll be watchin' you)
Every single day, every word you say
Every game you play (I'll be watchin' you)
The lyrics to The Police’s “Every Breath You Take” may seem like a romantic love song at first, but upon closer inspection, the stalker-like nature of the lyrics become more apparent. The song is sung from the perspective of someone who is watching and obsessing over their ex-lover, even after they have left. Every breath, move, bond, step, word, game, and night that the ex-lover takes, the singer is watching. There is a sense of possessiveness in the lyrics, as the singer believes that their ex-lover belongs to them and feels a deep ache in their heart for every step they take. The singer even admits to crying and begging their ex-lover to come back.
The chorus of the song, “I’ll be watching you,” is repeated throughout, driving home the idea of the singer being a stalker and never letting their ex-lover out of their sight. The second verse suggests that the singer is haunted by their ex-lover’s memory, dreaming of them at night and unable to find anyone to replace them.

Every breath you take
I am monitoring your every inhale and exhale
And every move you make
I am observing every action you take
Every bond you break, every step you take
I am watching as you sever any connections and progress forward
I'll be watchin' you
I will maintain constant surveillance on you
Every single day
I will never skip observing you on any day
And every word you say
I am listening intently to every sentence you utter
Every game you play, every night you stay
I am monitoring your every activity, including any affairs or overnight stays
I'll be watchin' you
I am warning you again that I am always keeping tabs on you
Oh, can't you see
Are you oblivious to this fact?
You belong to me?
I firmly believe that you are mine and only mine
How my poor heart aches
This intense fixation on you is causing me emotional pain
With every step you take
Your actions pain me with every pace
And every vow you break
It is excruciating for me to watch as you break any promises
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I am aware of your insincerity and deceit, and I am watching as you assert yourself
I'll be watchin' you
I reiterate that I am incessantly monitoring you
Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace
I have been aimless and directionless ever since you left
I dream at night, I can only see your face
You persist in my thoughts even in my subconscious state
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I am unable to find anyone to fill the void you left behind
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I am emotionally numb and yearning for your physical presence
I keep cryin', "Baby, baby, please"
I am repeatedly begging for your mercy and to come back to me
Every move you make
I am closely observing every action
I'll be watchin' you
You cannot escape my watchful eye

i hadn't heard of the Kitchen Musical... But I love every version of this song.! Can't get enough of it. It has got that magical beat that lives forever.
@theguramiii
I love the simplicity of this video, it just brought out the sentiment and the emotion this song is meant to evoke. My most favorite, so far. :)
@theguramiii
Love how they move and freeze. One of the simplest MVs of this show, but definitely the most memorable one for me (so far...I'm still in Ep 4! :D). Kudos, Asia! Kudos, TKE! :)

@sumanlinda
This musical-drama should be on air in Taiwan!! BTW, I love Christian Bautista & Karylle's voice... ^^;
@dvovirtualtech
this is a good show... i just wish they'd introduce this kind of shows to the local market or the "MASA" this kind of shows are quality shows that we should have in our local tv para ma-educate din ang mga masa sa mga de kalidad na palabas... i remember watching Evita in a moviehouse then... at narinig ko ang nasa likod ko na nagreact ng "ano ba yan puro kanta!" it's sad to see quality shows that Filipinos can do are limited to the well-off when this can educate the masses...
@mrjasperiffics
I love this video, love how they pose like a statue while somebody singing to them. Love the TKM style. :))
