Promises
Nero/Alana Watson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How can I ever deny
You got me so high
So high I cannot feel the fire
And you keep telling me
Telling me that you'll be sweet
And you'll never want to leave my side
As long as I don't break these
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
You got me so wild
Why should I be so surprised?
You got me so high
Don't you see it in my eyes?
And you keep telling me
Telling me that you'll be sweet
And you'll never want to leave my side
As long as I don't break these
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
The song "Promises" by Nero/Alana Watson is a classic tale of a tumultuous relationship, where the singer is trapped in a cycle of promises and disappointments with their partner. The singer admits that their partner has gotten them "so wild" and "so high" that they cannot resist them, despite the fact that their promises feel "oh so wasted on myself". The singer is aware that these promises are futile and that they are ultimately hurting themselves by staying in the relationship.
The repeated phrase "Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself" highlights the internal struggle that the singer is going through. The promises made by their partner are hollow and meaningless, but the singer continues to hold onto them in the hope that things will change. The use of repetition in the chorus reinforces the sense of futility and the cycle of broken promises that the singer is trapped in.
Ultimately, the song is a powerful reflection on the nature of love and relationships, and the painful struggle of trying to make things work when they are ultimately doomed. The strong vocals and emotive lyrics create a sense of passion and longing that is hard to resist, and the song has become a classic of the electronic music genre.

You got me so wild
My emotions are out of control because of you
How can I ever deny
I cannot pretend that I'm not affected by you
You got me so high
I feel euphoric when I'm with you
So high I cannot feel the fire
Nothing else matters when I'm with you
And you keep telling me
You reassure me of your loyalty
Telling me that you'll be sweet
You promise to treat me well
And you'll never want to leave my side
You vow to stay with me
As long as I don't break these
Your commitment is dependent on my behavior
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
I regret making promises to you because I'm not living up to them
They are so wasted on myself
I am disappointed in myself for not following through on my promises

Lyrics:
You got me so wild.
How can I ever deny?
You got me so high.
So high I cannot feel the fire. And you keep telling me, telling me that you'll be sweet. And you never wanna leave my side. As long as I don't break these, promises and they still feel all so wasted on myself. Promises and they still feel all so wasted on myself promises. And they still feel all so wasted on myself promises. And they still feel all so wasted on myself.
You got me so wild.
Why should I be so surprised? You got me so high. Don't you see it in my eyes? And you keep telling me.Telling me that you'll be sweet. And you never wanna leave my side. As long as I don't break these. Promises and they still feel all so wasted on myself. Promises and they still feel all so wasted on myself promises. And they still feel all so wasted on myself promises. And they still feel all so wasted on myself.
They are so wasted on myself.
They are so wasted on myself.
They are so wasted on myself.
They are so wasted on myself.
They are so wasted on myself.
They are so wasted on myself.
They are so wasted on myself.
They are so wasted on myself.
They are so wasted on myself.
Promises and they still feel all so wasted on myself. Promises and they still feel all
so wasted on myself.
Promises and they still feel all so wasted on myself.
Promises and they still feel all so wasted on myself.
