Unprepared
Marco V Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To your eyes and on your skin I read your mind she says
Prove me wrong she says
I've been around she says
And all the way with my eyes closed she says
Sat right there she says
I know a way to make you feel a star she says
Oh my god I say (x2)
But if it's a dream why can't I scream to wake me up I say
I've been around for 4 decades, I've seen the cities and the planes, I've watched the ball that comes and go
Still I'm unprepared for you
The lyrics to Marco V's song Unprepared describe the complexities and contradictions of a relationship. The opening lines reveal a conflict between the singer and their partner, with the singer telling their partner that they are lying. The partner responds by claiming to know what the singer is thinking, revealing a powerful intuition that seems to unsettle the singer. The partner then challenges the singer, saying "prove me wrong," suggesting that the two are at an impasse.
The following lines suggest that the partner is experienced and confident, having "been around" and "seen it all." Despite this, they are still able to surprise the singer, even making them feel like a "star." This creates a sense of awe and wonder in the singer, and they question whether they are dreaming.
The final lines of the chorus reveal the central theme of the song: despite all of the singer's experiences and travels, they are still unprepared for this relationship. This juxtaposition of worldly experience and personal vulnerability creates a complex portrait of human relationships, highlighting the way that even the most experienced among us can be caught off guard by love.
