Kartet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And trouble begins to brew,
Whenever the Winter winds become too strong,
I concentrate on you.
When fortune cries "Nay! Nay!" to me
And people declare "You're through!",
Whenever the blues become my only song,
On your smile so sweet, so tender,
When at first your kiss I decline.
On the light in your eyes when I surrender,
And once again our arms intertwine
And so, when wise men say to me
That love's young dream never comes true,
To prove that even wise men can be wrong,
I concentrate on you.
In Kartet's song "I Concentrate on You," the lyrics describe turning to a significant other to find solace in trying times. The opening lines "Whenever skies look gray to me / And trouble begins to brew, / Whenever the Winter winds become too strong" set the scene and create a mood of vulnerability, as the singer acknowledges feelings of distress. However, rather than succumbing to these negative emotions, they choose to "concentrate" on their love, symbolized by the object of their affection. The lyrics describe how even when "fortune cries 'Nay! Nay!' to me" and others declare defeat, the singer turns to their loved one to find comfort and resilience.
The second verse expands on this idea, continuing to illustrate the strength that the singer derives from their relationship. They describe turning to the "smile so sweet, so tender" of their partner, and the way that their "light in your eyes" can overturn their previous hesitance to fall in love. The final lines of the song provide a hopeful message, as the singer asserts that even if "wise men say to me / That love's young dream never comes true," they will continue to focus on their love and prove the naysayers wrong.
Overall, "I Concentrate on You" is a testament to the power of love to offer solace and stability in difficult times. By choosing to focus on the object of their affection rather than on their problems, the singer finds strength and resilience in their relationship.

Whenever skies look gray to me
When my life seems dreary and bleak
And trouble begins to brew,
And problems appear on the horizon
Whenever the Winter winds become too strong,
When the cold and harsh weather is too much to bear
I concentrate on you.
I focus on thoughts of you to uplift my spirits and provide comfort and solace
When fortune cries Nay! Nay! to me
When luck is not on my side and my hopes are dashed
And people declare You're through!,
And others tell me I have failed or am doomed to fail
Whenever the blues become my only song,
When I am feeling down and sad
I concentrate on you.
I focus on thoughts of you to lighten my mood and bring joy back to my life
On your smile so sweet, so tender,
I think of your beautiful, kind smile
When at first your kiss I decline.
When I am hesitant or unsure about showing my feelings towards you
On the light in your eyes when I surrender,
I remember the happiness in your eyes when we are together and inseparable
And once again our arms intertwine
And we embrace, holding each other closely and sharing our love
And so, when wise men say to me
When people who are regarded as wise try to convince me that
That love's young dream never comes true,
Love is always doomed to failure, especially when pursued at a young age
To prove that even wise men can be wrong,
To show that even those who are considered the most knowledgeable can have wrong beliefs
I concentrate on you.
I turn my thoughts to you as a way to prove them wrong and show that love can indeed triumph over all
