Satisfied
Millenary Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You act like you don't even want to come around. Now here you are knocking at my door. Down on your knees, begging me “oh baby.” C 'mon, please! Now I know what it feels like to finally be satisfied. Oh no, it's nothing like that, oh yes, it's just like that. What did you mean by that? Don't you think you've been gone too long? I know it's time for me to be strong. What'd you think you'd get from me? I may be honey but you ain't the bee. Now I know what it feels like to finally be satisfied. It must've been something about the flowers, the days, weeks, minutes, and hours. The talking in bed went to my head, but I'm tougher than that.

Overall Meaning

In "Satisfied", Millenary is confronted by someone who has been distant and uninterested in their relationship, but suddenly wants to come back and make amends. The singer is initially skeptical and confused, questioning why the other person has returned and what they hope to gain. However, eventually they come to a realization that having control over the situation and being able to reject the other person's advances has made them feel empowered and content. The lyrics reflect a sense of self-assuredness and independence, as well as a newfound sense of freedom from the expectations and uncertainties of a relationship.

The singer references flowers and the passing of time, perhaps alluding to the idea that the transient nature of life and love has brought them to this point of contentment. They also speak of being "tougher than that", implying that they have moved beyond the vulnerability and self-doubt that may have plagued them in past relationships. Ultimately, the song explores themes of self-worth, agency, and the pursuit of personal fulfillment.
