A Song for You
Noize Generation feat. Patrik Jean Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not a man of many words
But I gotta speak my mind
I left it all behind you, unread books
You know I, I didn't have the guts to say it
But I know it's over
Then finally I knew just what to do

I wrote a song for you

I wrote a song for you
I wrote a song for you
I wrote a song for you

I, I could only picture how you look right now
The flowers right in front of you are yours
Don't wanna leave, call me, not here, but I
I can see the future in your eyes, it's true

I wrote a song for you
I wrote a song for you
I wrote a song for you
I wrote a song for you

Don't wanna go, want you to know that I
I can see the future in your eyes, it's true

I wrote a song for you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "A Song For You" by Noize Generation feat. Patrik Jean depict a man who is unable to express his feelings to the person he cares about. He admits that he is not one to speak his mind often but realizes that he has been holding back his emotions. He regrets leaving behind "unread books," which could represent unsaid words or actions that he now wishes he had done. He knows that the relationship is over and wants to make things right.

However, instead of directly communicating with the person, the singer decides to write a song for them. He acknowledges that he can only imagine how the person looks in that moment and imagines the flowers in front of them as if they are offering the song as a gift. He wants the person to know that he can see a future with them through their eyes, and hopes that the song can convey the depth of his feelings.

The song is a poignant representation of the struggles that come with expressing emotions in a relationship. The singer is unable to communicate his feelings directly and has to resort to writing a song as a way to bridge the gap. The lyrics suggest that sometimes, the most powerful communication can come in the form of a song or other art forms, which have the power to connect with others in ways that words cannot.
