Dragonfly
NY Loose Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come over, do what ya do to me
Pretend we just want to watch TV
You're over most every night and day
But you never really feel the same
Yeah, ''cause you're my dragonfly
Yeah, well you're my dragonfly
You're a drag

Your limbs are strewn around my bed
Your eyes burn a hole right in my head
Your hands just hang right in the air
Your mouth is tickling me everywhere

Yeah, ''cause you're my dragonfly
Yeah, ''cause you're my dragonfly
You're my dragonfly
You're my dragonfly
You're my dragonfly
You're a drag

You've been hangin' around my head
You've been hangin' around my head
You've been hangin' around my head

Won't take long to get inside my brain
When you're gone a wrinkle in time remains
Well, I like to fly with you around my room
But please don't take me back to soon
I said yeah, I said yeah, I said yeah...yeah...yeah...yeah...yeah

You're my dragonfly
You're a drag

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of NY Loose's "Dragonfly" speak of a person who seeks the companionship of someone who seems to be emotionally distant towards them. The singer of the song invites this person over and requests them to act as if they just want to watch TV together, although this may not be their true intention. This person is described as a "dragonfly," someone who flutters around the singer's life, but ultimately proves to be a bother or a nuisance.

The lyrics also paint a vivid picture of the physical presence of this person, with their limbs strewn around the singer's bed, their eyes burning a hole in their head, their hands hanging in the air, and their mouth tickling them everywhere. Despite being aware of the fleeting and temporary nature of their interactions, the singer cannot help but feel drawn to this individual, and even requests them to not take them away too soon as they enjoy "flying" with them around their room.

Overall, the song's lyrics suggest a sense of longing for a deeper emotional connection with someone who may not reciprocate these feelings, and the contradictory nature of our desires and the complications they can bring into our lives.
