Keep You
Maude Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My phone rings. You are calling to say
That you're dressing up for me.
You know you're a stunner, however,
You try to look.

However, however.

I don't need my eyes to see
Why keep you, why keep you.
I don't need my eyes to see
Why keep you, why keep you.

It's as simple as you change me,
Which is complex to explain.
It's as shame you had to go for me
To see what I failed to show.

You complain about the things, I don't say
Or accuse me of kissing your A. Oh
Anyone can see that you're a stunner,
However, you try to look.

However, however.

I don't need my eyes to see
Why keep you, why keep you.




I don't need my eyes to see
Why keep you, let me keep you again.

The song "Keep You" by Maude speaks about a phone call from a girl to the singer, where she states that she is dressing up for him. The singer tells her that she is beautiful and that she does not need to try hard to impress him. The chorus repeats the sentiment that the singer does not need his eyes to see why he should keep her. The song seems to focus on the idea that the girl is beautiful, and while she may have some insecurities, the singer views her as perfect as she is.


The lines "It's a shame you had to go for me to see what I failed to show" suggest that the singer had taken the girl for granted or had not been able to show her how much he cares until she left. Furthermore, the lines "You complain about the things, I don't say or accuse me of kissing your A" suggest that there may have been issues with communication in the relationship. However, despite all of this, the singer still sees how beautiful she is and wants to keep her.


Overall, Maude's song "Keep You" speaks to the idea of valuing someone for who they are, rather than only seeing their external appearance. It explores the complexities of relationships and how sometimes, it can take a person leaving for someone to fully realize how much they care.

Ok, meu quarto está uma bagunça
Mas juro que tentei o meu melhor
Apenas para limpar minha cabeça
Enquanto minha vida está explodindo
Eu acho que ouvi de seus amigos
Você encontrou alguém novo
Dizem que ela é ótima para você
Não consigo responder a todos os meus textos
Deixo todos na leitura
Estou tão feliz por estar sozinha
Estou tão cansado de amor
Eu realmente não estou sozinha há dezoito meses
Isso é tão bom
Mas, se você quer me desbloquear, por favor
E eu tenho me mantido hidratado
C-porque o desgosto é superestimado
Dormir cedo, não sair tarde
Como eu costumava fazer com você
Estou tentando limpar meu quarto
Todo dia eu arrumo minha cama
Só para tirar você da minha cabeça
E eu estou usando protetor solar
Trinta SPF, sim, desde que você saiu
Sim, eu estou tentando manter meu quarto limpo
Sim, eu estou tentando manter meu quarto limpo
Acho que estou ficando muito bom
Eu evito seu bairro
Eu me concentrei em mim
Quem eu quero ser
O mundo é muito mais louco
Do que eu jamais soube
Eu vejo as coisas claramente sem você
E eu tenho me mantido hidratado
C-porque o desgosto é superestimado
Dormir cedo
Não saindo tarde como eu costumava fazer com você
Estou tentando limpar meu quarto
Todo dia eu arrumo minha cama
Só para tirar você da minha cabeça
E eu estou usando protetor solar
Trinta SPF, sim, desde que você saiu
Ainda não tenho certeza se encontrei o amor da minha vida ainda
Não há um único amante que me arrependa
Estou muito triste por não podermos ficar amigos
Mas acho que entendi, querida
Você está tentando esquecer
Mmm, limpo
Sim, eu estou tentando manter meu quarto limpo
Então, se você quiser perguntar o que há de novo
Estou fazendo o meu melhor para limpar meu quarto
Sim, estou tentando manter meu quarto limpo
