Part II
No Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And always take away the pain that you'll go through
My impression is not always what it seems
You're more of a reflection of what I used to be
So why do I feel hollow when I look at your photograph?
You take down my fortress and kill me with a smile
Please hold that thought a while
And I'll try to put you on this path
You won't be by yourself
I'll live for your problems and think of you when I'm gone
Don't worry now it won't be long
Once I was you I thought the world was safe
A new perspective; everybody is insane
Protecting you is a paranoid excuse
I know that you'll do better than I could ever do
And thoughts of self-destruction
Are now all buried in the past
You take down my barricade and melt away my heart
If loving hurts so much I want this pain to always last
I hope you pass the test that I have failed
You won't be by yourself
I'll live for your problems and think of you when I'm gone
Don't worry now it won't be long
I apologize to you for the words not spoken yet
Don't want you to look back and live in regret
Some day you'll ask me why I was away
The lyrics to No's song part ii are about an older person reflecting on their life experiences and trying to guide and protect a younger person from making the same mistakes they did. The older person wishes they could appear perfect to the younger one and always take away their pain. However, they also acknowledge that their own life hasn't always been as perfect as it may seem, and the younger one is a reflection of who they used to be.
The older person feels hollow when looking at the younger one’s photograph, suggesting a sense of loss or regret. They then promise to be there for the younger one, living for their problems and thinking of them even when they’re gone. The older person recognizes that they were once like the younger one, thinking the world was safe before realizing that everyone is insane, and they want to protect the younger one from making the same mistake.

czuję się wolna od problemów i całego tego ziemskiego bałaganu słuchając tego utworu

Utwór w połączeniu z teledyskiem wprawia mnie za każdym razem w melancholijny nastroj... tęsknię za czymś czego nigdy nie doświadczyłam. Teledysk świetnie ukazuje piękno bliskości tej cielesnej i emocjonalnej wynikające z zakochiwania się.

Dawid, uwielbiam Cię. Jaki to talent nagrać coś takiego od czego nie można oderwać ani uszu ani oczu. Wspaniałe. Jestem zakochana w tym utworze. Znałam go już wcześniej ale z tym teledyskiem nabrał innego znaczenia. Piękna całość. Zdecydowanie Dawid to najlepiej rozwijący się wokalista w tym kraju. Ciary.
