Do You Hear?
Mr. Scruff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Against my skin
I love to feel your face
In my hand
I love to feel your face
Can you hear
My heart beat
It when I'm sweet
Can you hear
I don't think
You hear me pray
I don't think
You hear me say
I don't think
I love to feel your face
Against my skin
I love to feel your face
In my hands
I love to feel your face
I love it
When you hold me
I love it
When you show me
I love it
I don't think
This is real
I don't think
That you feel
I don't think
I don't know
What to think
I don't think
That you know
I love to feel your face
Against my skin
I love to feel your face
In my hands
I love to feel your face
The lyrics of Mr. Scruff's "Do You Hear?" seem to describe a complicated and uncertain relationship. The singer expresses a deep desire to feel their partner's face against their skin and in their hands, showing a physical desire for closeness and intimacy. However, the overall tone of the song is uncertain: while the singer loves the way their partner holds and shows affection to them, they also feel unheard and unsure about the reality of the relationship.
The repeated question "Can you hear?" suggests a failure of communication between the two partners. The singer wonders if their partner can hear their heartbeat during moments of sweetness, suggesting a desire for emotional connection and understanding. However, in the second half of the song, the singer admits that they don't think their partner hears them when they pray or speak. These conflicting feelings of physical desire and emotional uncertainty create a tension within the song, hinting at a relationship that is incomplete or unfulfilling.
Overall, Mr. Scruff's "Do You Hear?" captures the complicated emotions of a relationship that is both physically intimate and emotionally struggling. The singer's desire for physical closeness is paired with a sense of unheard yearning, creating a bittersweet tone that captures the complexities of love and connection.
