Keep on Loving You
LIVING ROOM - Cigarettes After Sex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That there was something missing
You should have known by the tone of my voice
But you didn't listen
You play dead
But you never bled
Instead you lie still in the grass
And I know all about those men
Still I don't remember
'Cause it was us baby way before them
And we're still together
And I meant
Every word I said
When I said that I love you
I meant that I'll love you forever
And I'm gonna keep on loving you
Because it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on loving you
And I meant
Every word I said
When I said that I love you
I meant that I loved you forever
And I'm gonna keep on loving you
Because it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on loving you
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on loving you
The lyrics of "Keep On Loving You" by Cigarettes After Sex tells a story about a relationship where one partner is feeling neglected and misses the connection they used to have with their loved one. Despite expressing their feelings, the other partner ignores them, choosing to stay still and quiet like a coiled-up snake. The singer then reflects on their past with this person and reminds them that they were together before anyone else came along. They reiterate their love and promise to continue loving them forever, even if they don't receive the same in return. The song ends with the decision to keep on loving this person, even if it means sacrificing sleep or anything else.
The lyrics are filled with deeper meaning and complexity. The singer expresses deep sadness and longing when they realize that their partner does not understand how they feel. They express how the partner is playing dead, by ignoring their feelings, and that he or she never bled, which means that they never show any vulnerability. They also mention how they know about the partner's past, but it doesn't matter because they have a connection that came before any other man or woman. The singer's deep love overpowers any issue in the relationship, and the song ends with a resolution to continue loving this person despite the difficulties they may face.
