Maeta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The-Theo, The-Theo, Theo (too good)
The-Theo, The-Theo, Theo (too good)
The-Theo, The-Theo, Theo (too good)
Just like water (like water)
Falling down with gravity
You do what you wanna
You saw me on the screen and you died for me in an instant
(Na, na, na, instant)
I still suck at my teeths every time you give me a reason
(Na, na, na, reason)
′Cause you are not as sweet as you're pretending
These ain′t the messages that you're not sending (yeah)
So, The-Theo don't you see, you are too good to me?
The-Theo don′t you see, you are too good to me?
The-Theo don′t you agree, you are too good to be? (Theo)
The-Theo don't you see (Theo), you are too good to me? (baby)
Now, that we′re deeper (deeper)
Oversize of the vanity (deep, deep, deeper, yeah)
You're my anesthesia (yeah)
And I am your amphetamine
You saw me on the screen and you died for me in an instant
(Na, na, na, instant)
I still suck at my teeths every time you give me a reason (na, na, na)
So, The-Theo don′t you see, you are too good to me?
The-Theo don't you see, you are too good to me?
The-Theo don′t you agree, you are too good to be? (Theo)
The-Theo don't you see (Theo), you are too good to me? (to me)
The-Theo, The-Theo, Theo
The-Theo, The-Theo, Theo (too good)
The-Theo, The-Theo, Theo (too good)
The-Theo, The-Theo, Theo (too good)
(The-Theo, The-Theo, Theo, too good)
The song "Too Good" by Maeta is a love song that describes the overwhelming feeling of being loved by someone who is "too good" for the singer. The lyrics start with the repetition of the name "Theo" which is likely a nickname for the person Maeta is addressing. The repetition emphasizes the importance of the person in the singer's life. The chorus "The-Theo don't you see, you are too good to me?" is repeated multiple times throughout the song, highlighting the theme of the song.
The verse "Just like water (like water) / Falling down with gravity / You do what you wanna / And you want to be loving me" describes the easy, effortless flow of the relationship with this person. The singer feels like the person's love is natural, and they want to love them just as effortlessly. The lines "I still suck at my teeths every time you give me a reason / 'Cause you are not as sweet as you're pretending / These ain't the messages that you're not sending" suggest that the singer is not trying to be naive about the relationship but is fully aware of the person's flaws and inconsistencies. However, they still cannot help but love them.
The second verse "Now, that we're deeper (deeper) / Oversize of the vanity (deep, deep, deeper, yeah) / You're my anesthesia (yeah) / And I am your amphetamine" hints at a more serious stage in the relationship where the two are very close to each other. The use of medical terminology is interesting and adds a layer of complexity to the song. The chorus and the repetition of the name "Theo" throughout the song further emphasize the singer's adoration and awe of the person's love.
