I Do
Luke Royalty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lean my head over the sink
Stare in the mirror never blink,
Turning the tap on for a drink,
Iโm searching for my things,
And time is way behind me now,
The edge will never find me now,
I crossed that line, now limbos mine have you ever seen future visioned warning signs
So I was born in London raised up in the north east,
I was different cos my accent wasnโt broadly
Until I found a couple mates who started to support me
But now I'm here again, in need of a friend,
As my life decides to trickle to a sudden end,
Wake up acting like Iโm fine though deep inside I know I've spent
Every ounce of energy on rent
Though I'm trying not to lie again I do I do I do
And though I canโt be arsed to smile at them I do I do I do
Iโm learning how to live with the boredom
Iโm learning how to smell the warning signs but still ignore them
Itโs 5 o'clock in the morning
And my brain might be awake but itโs only for the stress as Iโm yawning
And calling on the people that I trust
There's very few but they mean more to me than lust as I
Grab my coat and make a jog for the bus it's like
Tell my boss that I'm sorry but he's sus cos I
Cos I can never be excited
Heโs been ready all his life he didnโt fuck it up like I did
Though Iโm bottom of my well I'll tell my mother that I'm fighting
Wish that I could be more like her cos man honestly Iโm trying now
It's still the morning and I'm being blaze
Been in this shithole for an hour and even though I'm still awake
A gust of wind on my back and Iโll be blowing out them zeds
But if you ask me if I'm fine Iโll say yes
Though Iโm trying not to lie again I do I do I do
And though I canโt be arsed to smile at them I do I do I do
It's only 7 am,
But I've made my mind on what to do
Stop applying for the jobs that I hate
Replying to the girls that I lose,
I know this is more than that
But Iโm getting Iโm bored of that
It's time to move past, making a mood last
Though I'm trying not to lie again I do I do I do
And though canโt be arsed to smile at them I do I do yeah I do
The lyrics of Luke Royalty's song "I Do" convey a sense of frustration, loneliness, and uncertainty in the singer's life. The opening lines depict a moment of introspection, as the singer stands in front of a mirror, seemingly lost and disconnected. The mention of time being behind and the search for belongings symbolize a feeling of being left behind and struggling to find a sense of stability or purpose. The reference to crossing a line and future visioned warning signs suggests that the singer has made choices or taken actions that have led them down a dark path.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's struggles, particularly with their mental state. The boredom and ignorance of warning signs showcase a complacent and self-destructive attitude. The mention of calling on trusted people and acknowledging their significance reveals a desperate need for support, but there is also a sense of dissatisfaction with oneself. The mention of the boss and feeling inadequate compared to others adds to the singer's feelings of insecurity and the pressure to perform.
As the song progresses, the singer reaches a breaking point and decides to make a change. They express a desire to move past their current situation, to stop settling for things they hate, and to let go of temporary connections. The repetition of "I do" throughout the choruses may serve as a conflicting declaration, highlighting the internal struggle between wanting to be honest and yet still feeling compelled to conform or put on a facade for others.
