Matty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why does the rain keep coming in
If you're the one I needed
Why does her memory still creep in
Now that the feeling's faded
Where does it go when it's not here
If you're the one I needed
And when the rain comes fallin' down
She'll be part of the sound
Will you be part of her now?
And when the words come pourin' out
You'll see what you have found
Will you be part of her now?
Now that the feeling's faded
Where does it go when it's not here
If you're the one I needed
Are you the one that'll make it clear
La, la, la, la, lala
Fuck! Uh, one more time, eh?
One more-
The lyrics of Matty's song Clear reveals the feelings of confusion and pain that come with a brokenhearted love. The first stanza of the song questions the reason why the winds keep blowing and the rains keep coming in, despite the presence of the one he needed. This signifies the turbulent emotions he is experiencing, where he cannot find peace even with the person he wants by his side. He then asks if the one he needed is the one who will make everything clear by dispelling his doubts and fears.
The chorus of the song, consisting of two stanzas, talks about the presence of memories of his past love. He croons about how her memories still creep in and how she will be part of the sound, and wonders whether his current love interest will also become part of his past love interest. He then questions whether she will be part of her now when words come pouring out, and whether he will find solace and clarity amidst his confusion and pain.
Overall, Matty's song Clear is a soulful expression of the pain of lost love and the quest for clarity amidst confusion. The song conveys how difficult it is to move on from a past love and trust someone new fully.

There is a bridge between the Verse 2 and the Outro:
[Bridge]
(If you're the one I needed
Why is it long to meet someone?
How can I feel this for you?
How soon from this can we move on?
Now that we won't be seeing
Where could I go if you're not here?
If you're the one I needed
Are you the one to make it clear?)
