Focus On You
KYLE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's like a trip to outer space
The way you take my breath away
And make me feel like I can fly
I'm so hypnotized by the things you say
The things you say
You say, you say, you say
The things you say
Well hey girl, it's so insane girl
I'm so in love with all of the things you say girl
But hey girl I know this is like sorta like crazy
But if I could and you could and we could like maybe
Surpass expectations and give a demonstration
Of a committed relation to our loveless generation
And if you do, you can be mine
And if you don't it's totally fine, I'll just accept that I'm a dweeb
Perceed to go home in my room and cry
I'll close the door and I'll ignore the fact you're into other guys
And I'll wash away the pain with a million tears I cry
But if you do, baby if you do
I would like to give my entire life to you
Hey, wait, hold on, wait
Okay, let me fucking say what I have to fucking say
See I think that you're great, and a gift given from God
Now I believe that God is love and my love is what you are
And you know that it's true, and as pretty as you are
Focus in on every flaw, every wrinkle, every scar
And everything that you aren't
And the prettiest thing of all is that your nose is not fake
And your boobs are no facade
Baby, you truly are just everything that you are
And that's perfect
Because a silicon soul and a polyester heart
Makes the light inside kinda dark, yeah
In Kyle's song "Focus On You," the chorus emphasizes the power that the girl in question has over him. Whenever he looks at her face, he gets lost in the moment, and it feels like he is transported to outer space. Her presence takes his breath away and makes him feel like he can do anything, and he's completely hypnotized by the things she says. The verses of the song express his desire to be with her, even though he realizes it might be a long shot. He acknowledges that he's a dweeb, but he still wants to try to be in a committed relationship with her. He'll accept it if she doesn't feel the same way, but it would be a dream come true if she reciprocates his feelings.
The second verse takes a more convincing tone, where Kyle pleads with the girl to hear him out instead of brushing him off. He goes on to explain what he loves about her and how special she is to him. He believes that she is a gift from God and that her imperfections make her perfect. He reassures her that he doesn't care about superficial things like fake noses or boobs, and he loves her just the way she is. The song's overall message centers on how one person can have a profound impact on another, and how the power of love can make you feel invincible.

Of a committed relation to our loveless generation
Many people nowadays are quick to give up on love or commitment, but let's be an example for others, and show that true love still conquers all.

If you agree to give us a chance, I'll make it my mission to show you the love and devotion you truly deserve.
And if you don't it's totally fine, I'll just accept that I'm a dweeb
If you don't feel the same way about me, it's okay. I'll just accept that I may not be your ideal guy.

I genuinely believe that you're a truly amazing person and a blessing in my life from a higher power.
Now I believe that God is love and my love is what you are
I have faith that love is the embodiment of what God is, and that's exactly what you represent to me - your presence fills me with love and joy.
And you know that it's true, and as pretty as you are
You're more than just a beautiful appearance to me, but a wonderful person that makes my heart beat faster.
Focus in on every flaw, every wrinkle, every scar
If only everyone could see what I see in you - all your imperfections just make you more beautiful and unique to me.
And everything that you aren't
You may have flaws or insecurities, but to me that only adds to the beautiful complexity of all that you are.
And the prettiest thing of all is that your nose is not fake
To me, your true beauty lies in the genuineness of your character, and how you always stay true to yourself.
And your boobs are no facade
You're not trying to be fake or make a false impression on anyone - you're just genuinely you and I love that about you.
Baby, you truly are just everything that you are
You don't need to change or put on a façade to impress anyone - who you are is already amazing enough for me.
And that's perfect
Everything about you is perfect to me, even the stuff other people might consider flawed or imperfect.
Because a silicon soul and a polyester heart
Putting on a front or being fake will eventually dull the light and beauty within, and leave an artificial emptiness instead.
Makes the light inside kinda dark, yeah
It's in being genuine that we shine the brightest and feel most alive. Being fake can only cast a shadow on the light within us.
