Every Breath You Take
Karen Souza (The Police - 1983) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every bond you break, every step you take
I'll be watching you
Every single day, every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay
I'll be watching you
How my poor heart aches with every step you take
Every move you make, every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Since you've gone I 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 crying baby, baby, please
Oh, can't you see you belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every breath you take
Every move you make, every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
The song "Every Breath You Take" by The Police is a hauntingly beautiful ballad about a possessive relationship. The lyrics begin talking about how the singer will be watching their partner's every move, even going as far as paying attention to every breath they take. The line "every bond you break" could refer to any promises that the partner may have made in the relationship or even their personal commitments. The singer states that they will always be watching their partner, even if they say a word or play a game.
The chorus of the song is the most recognizable part, highlighting the possessive nature of the singer's obsession. He believes that his partner belongs to him, and his heart aches with every movement that she makes. The second verse talks about how lost the singer feels without his partner, with him dreaming of her at night and constantly trying to fill the void that she left. He says that he looks around but cannot find someone to replace her, and he longs for her embrace. The song ends with the same chorus, reminding listeners of the obsessive nature of the singer's love.

For the first time i was presented with this song on a rainy winter night. It was around Christmas you know. I had just left my work. On the backseat of the car. The decoration lights, rain touching the window, warmth of ac. Then this song started. Listening a womans voice felt like she was singing it to me. It was magical. With all due respect for the police, but this one's better. Bossa nova is music for the soul.

It's about jealousy in case you didn't know.
