Devotion
Liza Anne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Be the woman who doesn't need you
Be the lady on the train all to herself
Find the bits of me I shook off
To appease you, oh just come on
I like the things I like
And that's alright
Return to me
And who I was before I was in love
I'll do anything for her now, she's my longest love
Hey!
I'm gonna leave because I need to
Collect myself, I didn't mean to
Disappear into a false autonomy
I think I lost myself when I realized I was losing you
Devotion
Return to me
Who I was before I was in love
I'll do anything for her now, she's my longest love
Hey!
Devotion
Return to me
Who I was before I was in love
In Liza Anne's song "Devotion," the singer expresses her need for self-discovery and personal growth after losing herself in a romantic relationship. She is determined to become a strong, independent woman who does not rely on anyone else for her happiness. The singer recognizes that she has compromised her own values and interests to please her partner. However, she resolves to reclaim the parts of herself that she has set aside and embrace her true self, with all her quirks and passions.
The chorus of the song, "Devotion, return to me," suggests a longing to reconnect with her former self, before she became so entangled in her love for someone else. The repetition of this phrase reflects the singer's strong desire to rediscover her sense of self and find inner peace.
Overall, "Devotion" is a powerful anthem for anyone who has lost themselves in a relationship and wants to regain their independence and sense of self-worth. The song encourages listeners to embrace their inner strength and pursue their own interests, rather than compromising their values for the sake of a relationship.
