Pure & True
Lady I Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Washing up my fear, I wanna get so near
Take a closer look, now I am really hooked
Never be misunderstood, coz it felt so good
Now I can say I'm in the right place with you
Showed me ways I never knew
Can't believe I'm into you boy
Slow moving, going way up high
Oh just like a turtle, you're so sweet and shy
Music making with you, my heart sings for you
While you're playing your guitar
Oh darling we'll go far
The first verse of Lady I's song Pure & True describes a moment of intimacy and connection between two people. The singer is slow dancing and feeling more and more comfortable with her partner. She is able to let go of her fear and be fully present in the moment. The phrase "never be misunderstood, coz it felt so good" suggests that this experience is one of pure and mutual understanding. The word "hooked" implies that the singer is falling for her partner, becoming attached and invested in the relationship.
The second verse continues the theme of slow and steady movement, comparing her partner to a turtle for their sweetness and shyness. The music they make together is described as something that makes her heart sing. The line "oh darling we'll go far" is both a reference to the success they may achieve together as musical partners, but also an expression of hope for the future of their relationship. Throughout the song, the words suggest a sense of ease, comfort, and a mutual connection that is pure and true.
