First Love
Nikka Costa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a change in me
The all say I'm not the same
Kid I used to be
Don't go out and play
I'll just dream all day
They don't know what's wrong with me
It's my first love
What I'm dreaming of
When I go to bed
When I lay my head upon my pillow
Don't know what to do
My First love
He thinks that I'm too young
He doesn't even know
Wish that I could show him what I'm feeling
Cause I'm feeling my first love
Mirror on the wall
Does he care at all
Will he ever notice me
Could he ever fall
Tell me Teddy Bear
Why love is so unfair?
Will I ever find a way
And answer to my pray
The lyrics to Nikka Costa's song "First Love" describe the feeling of being young and experiencing love for the first time. The song tells the story of a young girl who has experienced a change in her behavior and personality, which her friends and family have noticed. She spends her days dreaming about her first love and struggling to express her feelings to him.
The first two lines of the song, "Everyone can see, there's a change in me," establish the theme of transformation and growth. The singer is no longer the same "kid" she used to be. Her behavior has changed, and she spends her days dreaming instead of playing.
The lyrics go on to highlight the frustration and confusion that often accompanies first love. The singer's love interest thinks she's too young, and she's struggling to express her feelings to him. She longs to show him what she's feeling, but she feels too shy and unsure of herself. The song ends with her contemplating her future and wondering if she will ever find the answers to her questions about love.
Overall, "First Love" is a poignant and nostalgic reflection on the experience of falling in love for the first time. The song captures the essence of first love, with all its excitement, confusion, and uncertainty.

Everyone can see
It's apparent to everyone
There's a change in me
I've experienced a transformation
The all say I'm not the same
Everyone says I'm different now
Kid I used to be
From the child I once was
Don't go out and play
I don't want to go out and have fun
I'll just dream all day
I'll be lost in my thoughts for most of the day
They don't know what's wrong with me
They don't know the cause of my problem
And I'm too shy to say
I'm too bashful to voice it
It's my first love
I'm experiencing love for the first time
What I'm dreaming of
What occupies my daydreams
When I go to bed
At night when I sleep
When I lay my head upon my pillow
When I rest my head on my pillow
Don't know what to do
I'm unaware of what action to take
My First love
The person I'm romantically attracted to for the first time
He thinks that I'm too young
He believes I'm immature for him
He doesn't even know
He's unaware
Wish that I could show him what I'm feeling
I wish I could express my emotions to him
Cause I'm feeling my first love
Because I'm experiencing my first romantic attraction
Mirror on the wall
The reflective surface on the wall
Does he care at all
Is he concerned about me at all
Will he ever notice me
Will he ever become aware of my presence
Could he ever fall
Could he ever develop feelings for me
Tell me Teddy Bear
A call out to a stuffed animal toy
Why love is so unfair?
Why is romantic attraction often unjust
Will I ever find a way
Is there a solution to my problem
And answer to my pray
A response to my plea

Semua orang bisa melihat
Ada yang berubah dariku
Mereka semua berkata
Aku tidak seperti biasanya
Tidak keluar dan bermain
Aku hanya bermimpi sepanjang hari
Mereka tidak tahu apa yang salah denganmu
Dan aku terlalu malu untuk berkata
Ini cinta pertamaku
Yang aku mimpikan
Saat aku pergi tidur
Saat aku meletakkan di atas bantal
Tidak tahu harus bagaimana
Cinta pertamaku
Berpikir aku terlalu muda
Tidak bahkan tidak tahu
Kuharap aku bisa menunjukkan perasaanku padanya
Karena aku merasakan cinta pertamaku
Kaca di dinding
Apakah dia peduli?
Akankah dia memperhatikanku?
Bisakah dia jatuh cinta?
Katakan padaku, boneka beruang
Kenapa cinta begitu tidak adil
Akankah aku menemukan jalan
Dan jawaban dari doaku
Untuk cinta pertamaku
Yang aku mimpikan
Saat aku pergi tidur
Saat aku meletakkan di atas bantal
Tidak tahu harus bagaimana
Cinta pertamaku
Berpikir aku terlalu muda
Tidak bahkan tidak tahu
Kuharap aku bisa menunjukkan perasaanku padanya
Karena aku merasakan cinta pertamaku
Cinta pertamaku

Semua Bisa Melihat ada yang berubah dalam diriku , mereka bilang aku tidak sama lagi seperti dulu / masih anak anak
Jangan pergi keluar
Aku baru saja bermimpi sepanjang hari
Mereka tidak tahu apa yang salah pada diriku dan aku terlalu malu untuk mengatakannya
Itu cinta pertamaku
Apa yang ku impikan
Saat aku pergi tidur
Ketika aku membaringkan kepalaku ke bantalku
Tidak tahu apa yang dilakukan diriku
Cinta pertamaku ~
Dia mengira aku terlalu muda
Dia bahkan tidak tahu , aku berharap aku bisa memberi tahu dia apa yang ku rasakan
Karena aku merasakan cinta pertamaku
Cermin di dinding
Apakah dia peduli sama sekali
Apakah dia pernah sekalipun menghiraukan diriku
Pernahkan dia menemukan
Beritahukan aku , beruang teddy
Cinta ku sangat tidak adil
Apakah aku akan menemukan jawaban untuk doa doaku?
Untuk Cinta pertama ku?
Apa yang aku impikan? ketika aku tidur ..
Apa ketika aku membaringkan kepalaku di atas bantal
Karena aku merasakan cinta pertamaku
Cinta pertamaku , dia mengira bahwa aku terlalu muda , dia bahkan tidak Tahu , berharap dapat memberitahukannya apa yang ku rasakan , karena aku merasakan cinta pertamaku

Katanya ayah adalah cinta pertama bagi anak gadis nya,
Tapi juga bisa merangkap jadi patah hati terhebat untuk putrinya :)
