Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Loukoko's song "Promises" speak about uncertainty and mistrust in a relationship. The singer is questioning whether their partner truly belongs to them and if they are being honest with their feelings. The repetition of the line "Won't you tell me the truth" highlights the importance of honesty in relationships and how it can affect the trust between partners. The line "Down to down face to face, here we are again" suggests that the couple has had this conversation before and are still struggling to find common ground.

The last line "promises, promises from the store to the light" can be interpreted in different ways. It could refer to the various promises that are made in a relationship, from small ones like promising to buy something from the store to larger ones like promising to be faithful. The "light" may represent the end goal of the relationship or the hope of a future together.

Overall, the song conveys a sense of insecurity and doubt about the longevity of a relationship, while emphasizing the importance of honesty and trust.

Line by Line Meaning

Will i really be yours?
Am I truly yours, or is this just a fleeting feeling?

Won't you tell me the truth
Please don't hide anything from me or keep me in the dark.

Will be you let me be alone
Will you give me my own space and freedom or try to control me?

Won't you tell me the truth
Again, please be honest with me and don't tell me lies.

Down to down face to face
We are confronting each other directly and honestly.

Here we are again
We are in this situation once more, repeating the cycle.

Promises, promises from the store to the light
Your promises are as empty as the ones sold in a store, and as fleeting as the light they disappear in.
