Too Much
Mary Beth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To know me like an old lover, one I can't deceive
As if you read my pages, as if you were reading me
I don't even know you, your history
But I'm feeling almost paralyzed with the chemistry
Sleeping soundly all my life, I'm suddenly awake
Cause you're.....
I'm scared as hell at how much I want this
Too much, capturing too perfectly
Everything I ever wanted
I don't want to lose this feeling
But a kiss...Reaching, Spinning, and a carbonated rush
Deep inside me and this rising, sudden flush, reminds me of my body
Now I've never been religious in the usual way
But moment is evolving to a spiritual epiphany
If I weren't tethered to you, locked into this gaze
I'd float away
Cause It's...
Too much, too close to me
I'm scared as hell at how much I want this
Too much, capturing too perfectly
Everything I ever wanted
I don't want to lose this feeling
If I could close this door, if tonight is not the night I'm waiting for
It's cause I just can't bear to make this something ordinary
Let it turn to anything but more
But you move so slow, each touch is an infinity
A delecious kind of tragedy
I've got to pull you in, Draw you in to me
Cause it's...
Too much, too close to me
I'm scared as hell at how much I want this
Too much, capturing too perfectly
Everything I ever wanted
I don't want to lose this feeling
Mary Beth Maziarz's song "Too Much" is a powerful exploration of love and fear, desire and uncertainty. At its core, the song is about the overwhelming experience of falling for someone: the feeling of being completely exposed and vulnerable, of being simultaneously terrified and exhilarated by the intensity of the connection. The opening stanza sets the scene, as the singer describes feeling like someone has stolen parts of her that she never even knew were missing. The second line suggests that this connection is more than just physical; the singer wants to be known deeply and truly, to be seen and understood in a way that has always been elusive. And yet there is a paradox at the heart of the singer's experience: she doesn't even know this person's history, and yet she feels so deeply connected to them. The chemistry between them is almost paralyzing, and it's waking her up to a new reality.
As the song progresses, we get a sense of the singer's fear and uncertainty. She is overwhelmed by the intensity of her own emotions, and she's not sure whether to trust them or try to resist them. The chorus captures this tension perfectly, as the singer acknowledges that this connection is "too much" - too close, too intense, too perfect. She's scared at how much she wants this, and yet she doesn't want to lose this feeling. There's a sense of urgency here, a sense that this moment is fleeting and that she needs to hold onto it as tightly as she can.
The bridge of the song is particularly powerful, as the singer experiences a rush of physical sensation that reminds her of her own body. There's a sense that this connection is not just emotional, but also spiritual; it's tapping into something deeper and more profound than just physical attraction. And yet, even in the midst of this intense moment, the singer is still hesitant. She doesn't want to make this connection into something ordinary, something that she can just walk away from. She knows that she needs to pull this person in, to draw them closer to her, but she's not sure if she's ready for what that might entail.
Overall, "Too Much" is a beautifully crafted song that captures the complex emotions of falling in love. It's a reminder that love is not always easy or straightforward, that it can be scary and overwhelming and all-consuming. But it's also a reminder of the power of human connection, of the way that two people can come together and create something truly extraordinary.
