Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me is that Deja Vu?
'Cause you want me and I want you

Tell me is that Deja Vu?
(Ooh, Ooh)

Tell me is that Deja Vu?
'Cause you want me and I want you

Tell me is that Deja Vu?
(Ooh, Ooh)

I'm trying to see you from my own perspective

You all in my section trying to come to my session

We rolling up pressure, you know that we flexing

We came with the bottles, we came with the models Girl this a confession,

I'm not like your exes, I came up from Texas, and now that we texting

You can fly in whenever, now your undressing

Panties on the dresser, your hair's getting messed up

The feeling we catching, my love is a blessing Made love in that Lexus
Made love in that Lexus I know you remember
(Ooh)

Tell me is that Deja Vu?
'Cause you want me and I want you

Tell me is that Deja Vu?
(Ooh, Ooh)

Tell me is that Deja Vu?
'Cause you want me and I want you

Tell me is that Deja Vu?
(Ooh, Ooh)

Oh your acting reckless
I told you that I need affection
So let me point you in the right direction
It's so important that you got the message
(Yeah)

I gotta say, gotta say something to you, you, you
I'm on a roll, I'm gonna roll out in that new, new, new
If you wanna do what I wanna do Like uhm-uhm-uhm
Well I guess that is just Deja Vu

Tell me is that Deja Vu?
'Cause you want me and I want you

Tell me is that Deja Vu?

Tell me is that Deja Vu?
'Cause you want me and I want you

Tell me is that Deja Vu?
(Ooh, Ooh)

I know that you want it baby
I know I can drive you crazy
I just wanted you to know now (Ooh, Oo-h)
Showed up in that new Mercedes

You already know I'm faded
I've been thinking about you lately (Ooh, Oo-h)

Is that Deja Vu?

You want me and I want you (Ooh)

Tell me is that Deja Vu (Ooh)
Baby it aint nothing new

Tell me is that Deja Vu?
'Cause you want me and I want you

Tell me is that Deja Vu?
(Ooh, Ooh)





(Wooo, yaaa)

Overall Meaning

In "Deja Vu" by Lauren Sanderson, the artist is questioning whether her current romantic situation is a repeat of her past experiences. She asks her partner if what they're feeling is a sense of familiarity and a pattern they've experienced before. The lyrics suggest that they have a physical attraction to each other, but the artist is also attempting to understand the relationship from her own perspective. She notes that she's not like her partner's previous lovers, and that they can be open with each other without judgment. Overall, the song seems to be an exploration of the complex emotions involved in a new relationship, and the subtle ways that past experiences can shape our perceptions.


Through the repetition of the chorus and the focus on the idea of "Deja Vu," the song implies a sense of inevitability - as if the artist knows that they will inevitably fall into the same patterns as their past relationships, despite any initial differences. The bridge further emphasizes this, with the artist describing herself as "faded" and thinking about her partner constantly. Despite any reservations or worries about repeating past mistakes, the artist seems to be giving in to her feelings and enjoying the moment.

In my eyes, this is the original version of the song. I've listened to both, but I heard her sing it first. Her version has heart.
