Separate Ways
Nina Kinert Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My deliberate mood is stringing harder in me
but I'm wanting so to ask you
can I kiss you here?
and all your moderate words
burn into fire inside
and all I really wanna ask you is
I can touch you there?
We're like the flashing lightning divided into separate ways
Yeah I know you wanna talk
about more profound things
Than I could ever dream of
I haven't seen nothing yet
I really wish that I would know
things that will shatter you
There ain't not dripping from

the roof into my hands
We're like the flashing lightning divided into separate ways

Overall Meaning

These lyrics from Nina Kinert's song "Separate Ways" capture a sense of longing and desire between two people who are moving apart. The singer expresses their desire to be physically close to the person they are addressing, asking if they can kiss and touch them in certain places. The singer also acknowledges a disconnect between themselves and the other person, recognizing that the other person may want to talk about profound things beyond their own understanding. The refrain of "We're like the flashing lightning divided into separate ways" reinforces the sense of separation between the two individuals.


The opening lines of the song evoke a sense of tension and intensity: "My deliberate mood is stringing harder in me / but I'm wanting so to ask you / can I kiss you here?" The repetition of "I'm wanting so to ask you" emphasizes the singer's desire for physical contact. The line "and all your moderate words / burn into fire inside" suggests that the other person's words have a powerful effect on the singer, perhaps stirring up intense emotions.


Later in the song, the singer expresses their desire to know something that will "shatter" the other person. This might suggest a desire for deeper emotional intimacy, or for an understanding of what makes the other person tick. Overall, the lyrics capture a sense of longing and desire, tinged with a recognition that the two people in question may ultimately go their separate ways.
