As Jy Weer Kyk
Nicholis Louw Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Daar was 'n slang in die gras soos tussen jou en my
Jou oë gaan my nog onderkry
Die versoeking raak groot jy maak 'n vuur in my
Ek weet ek gaan my kans nog kry
Ek weet jy kyk vir my
Ek het jou in my are
Liefde maak my blind
Ek kam vir jou my hare
Mag ek nader kom
My hart tik soos 'n bom
Ek gaan ontplof as jy weer kyk
Ek het jou in my bloed
Ek het jou in my are
Liefde maak my blind
Ek kam vir jou my hare
Druk my teen die muur
Soen my vir 'n uur
Ek gaan ontplof as jy weer kyk
As jy weer kyk
Hoeveel pyn moet ek nog verduur
Waar's jy nou jy weet ek soek jou hier
Kan ek vanaand dalk ‘n soen kry
My gedagtes hardloop alweer weg met my
Ek weet ek gaan my kans nog kry
Ek weet jy kyk vir my
The lyrics of Nicholis Louw's song "As Jy Weer Kyk" talks about the temptation and desire one feels for someone they shouldn't be with. The opening lyrics describe a woman named Eva who seduces a man, with a reference to the biblical story of the serpent in the garden of Eden which implies danger and warning.

The chorus repeats that the singer will explode with desire if he's given another chance.
The bridge of the song expresses the loneliness and hurt that comes from not being with this person, questioning how much more pain he'll have to endure and wondering where this person is. The singer's thoughts are consumed with their desire for this person, and they are convinced that they will get a chance to be with them again. Overall, the lyrics are about the powerful longing, passion, and desire one can feel towards another, even if it's not the right or logical choice.
