Mark Ronson [feat. Lykke Li] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't wanna get hurt
So we're sleeping but we're never dreamin'
Tryna catch no feelings, oh no
I'm not your lover, but we're making love
And don't blame it on being drunk
Don't say I'm just a 2AM, 2AM, 2AM
Walk away, come runnin' back again
Don't say I'm just a 2AM, 2AM
And you say you're not in love
Sayin' now it's 5AM
Baby, now we see the sun
Why you still hitting me up
If you can't call it love?
And you say you're not in love
Sayin' now it's 5AM
Baby, now we see the sun
Why you still hitting me up
If you can't call it love?
I'm not your lover, but we're making love
And don't blame it on being drunk
Don't say I'm just a 2AM, 2AM, 2AM
Say it's over, but you're in my bed
Walk away, come runnin' back again
Don't say I'm just a 2AM, 2AM
You still awake?
Still down to break?
Open your heart, open the door
Give me some more
Baby, what do you want?
You still awake?
Still down to break?
Open your heart, open the door
Give me some more
What the fuck do you want?
I'm not your lover, but we're making love
And don't blame it on being drunk
Don't say I'm just a 2AM, 2AM, 2AM
Say it's over, but you're in my bed
Walk away, come runnin' back again
Don't say I'm just a 2AM, 2AM
The song "2 AM" by Mark Ronson featuring Lykke Li delves into the complexities of a casual sexual relationship. The lyrics speak to the fear of falling first, of getting hurt, and the desire to avoid catching feelings. The singer laments being reduced to a mere 2 AM hookup, a disposable sexual partner to be used and discarded. The song questions the overused trope of blaming it all on being drunk, asking the other person to acknowledge the underlying emotional connection that exists, even if they can't define it as love. The singer asks whether the relationship is just casual sex or something more, urging for clarity and honesty.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea of communication and transparency in relationships. The singer desires to know what the other person wants and to be told the truth about the nature of their relationship, rather than being strung along. The lines "What the fuck do you want?" speaks to the frustration of being kept in the dark about the other person's true intentions.
Overall, "2 AM" showcases the complications and mixed emotions that can arise in casual sexual relationships, particularly when one person desires more than just physical intimacy.
Line by Line Meaning
Fall first, you don't wanna go first
You're afraid of being vulnerable and opening up first
You don't wanna get hurt
You're scared of getting your heart broken
So we're sleeping but we're never dreamin'
We're physically intimate, but emotionally distant
Tryna catch no feelings, oh no
Both of us are trying to avoid getting attached to each other
I'm not your lover, but we're making love
We don't have a real emotional connection, but we're physically intimate
And don't blame it on being drunk
You can't use being intoxicated as an excuse for our behavior
Don't say I'm just a 2AM, 2AM, 2AM
Don't reduce our relationship to just a late-night hookup
Say it's over, but you're in my bed
You claim to be done with me, but then you come back to my bed
Walk away, come runnin' back again
You try to distance yourself, but you always come back
And you say you're not in love
You claim to not have feelings for me
Sayin' now it's 5AM
It's now the morning and the night is coming to an end
Baby, now we see the sun
The night is over and the daylight is here
Why you still hitting me up
Why are you still contacting me if you don't have feelings for me?
If you can't call it love?
If you can't admit your true feelings, then what is this really?
You still awake?
Are you still conscious and present?
Still down to break?
Are you still interested in being physically intimate?
Open your heart, open the door
Allow yourself to be vulnerable and open to love
Give me some more
Continue to be physically intimate with me
Baby, what do you want?
What are your true desires and intentions?
What the fuck do you want?
What is it that you truly desire and why are you still here?

Lykke Li tem uma capacidade รบnica de transmitir melancolia com as letras, melodias e voz de um jeito belรญssimo... te dรก aquelas vibe de copo de cerveja pela metade e lรกgrima seca no rosto numa noite solitรกria de ano novo, 2h depois da queima de fogos lembrando daquele amor nรฃo-correspondido ou que nรฃo deu certo... ร aquela tristeza linda.
E Mark Ronson soube adaptar-se ร estรฉtica dela perfeitamente, como sรณ ele sabe fazer - Amy e Gaga que o digam.
Este รกlbum nรฃo saiu do meu loop atรฉ hoje e o tรญtulo LATE NIGHT FEELINGS รฉ muito autoexplicativo โค๏ธ๐๐ค.
@HostiaRecords
Lykke Li, simplemente รบnica, sabe transmitir esos sentimientos en la mรบsica como nadie mรกs.
@dglsldrh4166
linda, saรญ com depressรฃo. Belรญssima, Lykke Li nunca decepciona, maravilhosa essa canรงรฃo
@lukewarda6930
Both tracks with Lykke are standouts of the album. Really beautiful and wonderfully melancholic.
@gibrandevilish
