Can You
Lippie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you bring me dance?
Can you draw me a horse?
And make a ride down the city?
I'm here with you in this city
Those empty streets just relate me
That we are with our lonelyness
You tell me that you would like to be
Somenone who intend to act decently
Trying in his life to save the least
That reminds you that you are still alive
Now I am ready and prepared
I met you at this time of my life
You look smart and capable of making
Beautifull things and cheerfulls maps on the blue « we »
Maps on the blue « we »
Can you pass your fingers in my hair?
Can you bring me dance?
Can you draw me a horse?
And make a ride down the city?
Waiting,
Crawling few months later,
I have the feeling that
The things didn't right directly!
All the intentions of good
Just desappeared!
As I click my fingers
As I click my lies
Got and turned into grey
Then you intagrate
The life and the lessons
Of the « nobody can understand »!
And noon, no one answer to the phone
While you try not to get out of the door!
You'll be finally the first on the floor
Chearfully beaten
For cheerfulls maps on the blue « we »
Maps on the blue « we »
So oh oh
Can you pass your fingers through my hair?
Can you bring me dance?
Can you draw me a horse?
And make a ride down the city?
The song "Can You" by Lippie is a nostalgic and emotional piece exploring the themes of loneliness, hope, and longing for human connection in a big city. The song follows a conversation between two individuals, with the singer asking their partner if they can pass their fingers through their hair, bring them to dance, draw a horse, and make a ride down the city. These requests are symbolic and represent the singer's desire for intimacy, joy, and adventure in their life, which is missing due to their loneliness and isolation in the city.
The song's chorus repeats the questions, asking if the partner can fulfill these desires for the singer. However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that these requests were not met, and the singer reflects on the disappointment and disillusionment they feel for the good intentions that did not come to fruition. The lyrics mention the fading of intentions and the turning of lies into grey, demonstrating the loss of hope and the descent into despair that can happen when one's desires are not fulfilled.
Despite this melancholic tone, the song ends on a hopeful note, with the idea of "cheerful maps on the blue we." This line suggests that meaningful connections can still be made despite the disappointments and that there are happy moments in life that make it worth living. Overall, the song "Can You" is a beautiful meditation on the human condition and the importance of connection and belonging in our lives.

I'm here with you in this city
I am present in this urban area with you
Those empty streets just relate me
The absence of human beings in these roads reminds me of my loneliness
That we are with our loneliness
We are experiencing solitude
Waiting for some undless colors
We are anticipating vibrant and infinite hues to fill our lives
You tell me that you would like to be
You express your desire to become
Somenone who intend to act decently
An individual who has the intention of behaving with virtue and morality
Trying in his life to save the least
Striving to preserve at least some things in life
That reminds you that you are still alive
Reminding you that you are still living and breathing
Now I am ready and prepared
I am currently prepared and willing to face any challenges
I met you at this time of my life

You look smart and capable of making
You appear intelligent and skillful enough to create
Beautifull things and cheerfulls maps on the blue « we »
Beautiful and cheerful representations of 'us' on blueprints
Waiting
The act of anticipating something
Crawling few months later,
After waiting for a few months and moving slowly forward,
I have the feeling that
I sense that
The things didn't right directly!
Things did not go correctly or straight away
All the intentions of good
All the inclinations towards positivity
Just desappeared!
Suddenly vanished!
As I click my fingers
As I snap my fingers
As I click my lies
As I snap my deceitful statements
Got and turned into grey
Became dull and lifeless
Then you intagrate
Then you incorporate or assimilate
The life and the lessons
The teachings and experiences of life
Of the « nobody can understand »!
Of the notion that cannot be comprehended by anyone
And noon, no one answer to the phone
During the day, no one picks up the phone
While you try not to get out of the door!
While you attempt to avoid leaving the house!
You'll be finally the first on the floor
You will eventually lead and take the initiative
Chearfully beaten
Happily defeated
For cheerfulls maps on the blue « we »
For jubilant blueprints of our collective identity
Maps on the blue « we »
Blueprints of our group identity on a blue background
So oh oh
The expression of exclamation
