In The Way
Nero/Alana Watson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Not in the way you feel
It's in the things that you do
I knew you weren't for real
You made a point of it

Not in the way you feel
It's in the things that you do
I knew you weren't for real
You made a point of it

Not in the way you feel

You made a point of it





Not in the way you feel

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nero/Alana Watson's song "In The Way" are very straightforward, yet they carry a deep meaning. The song seems to be about a person who is trying to deal with the pain and betrayal of a failed relationship, specifically the hurt caused by the other person's insincere feelings towards them. The repeated line "Not in the way you feel" emphasizes that the singer knows the other person does not genuinely care for them, no matter how much they might say they do. It's not even just about how the other person feels towards them, but rather about the actions they take that show their lack of real love or commitment.


The lyrics also suggest that the other person made a point of showing their true intentions, which could suggest that they were intentionally leading the singer on for their own satisfaction. The song's melody and instrumentation help to accentuate the feeling of desolation and the sense of longing for something that was never really there. Overall, "In The Way" is a poignant and relatable song that captures the essence of heartbreak in a very raw and visceral way.


Line by Line Meaning

Not in the way you feel
Your emotional state isn't the issue here


It's in the things that you do
The problem is your actions, not your feelings


I knew you weren't for real
I had a sense that you weren't genuine


You made a point of it
You deliberately showed me that you weren't sincere
