Keep Me
Novo Amor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it's been on my mind sometime
And I can't let it go
I know there's gotta be something
That I could say in time
But I can't find the words
Keep me, keep me on fire
A dose, a moment to live in
And I'm hoping it stays a while
In the space you were in
And I froze, and I reckon I missed it
When all of the rain came down
In the shape of everything
So keep me, keep me on fire
Keep me, keep me on fire
Keep me honest, keep me kind
Keep me as your finish line
Keep me, keep me on fire
The lyrics of Novo Amor's song "Keep Me" speak to the feeling of being stuck in a state of uncertainty and not being able to find the words to express oneself. The opening lines of "So it's probably nothing, But it's been on my mind sometime, And I can't let it go" evoke a sense of anxiety and obsession over something that may seem insignificant to others, but holds great importance to the singer.
The second verse goes on to describe a moment of clarity that the singer hopes to hold onto for an extended period of time. "A dose, a moment to live in, And I'm hoping it stays a while, In the space you were in" appears to be referring to a specific place or moment shared with another person. The line "And I froze, and I reckon I missed it, When all of the rain came down, In the shape of everything" suggests that the singer may have missed an opportunity or failed to fully appreciate a moment due to personal fears or doubts.
The repeated refrain "Keep me, keep me on fire" carries a sense of urgency and longing for emotional sustenance. This sense of longing is emphasized in the final lines of the song: "Keep me honest, keep me kind, Keep me as your finish line." The singer is asking for support and guidance in being true to themselves and reaching their goals.
Overall, the lyrics of "Keep Me" speak to the universal desire for stability and emotional nourishment, and the fear of missing out on important moments due to self-doubt or uncertainty.

So, it’s probably nothing,
but it’s been on my mind some time and I can’t let it go.
I know, there’s gotta be something
that I could say in time, but I can’t find the words.
Keep me on fire.
A dose, a moment to live in.
I’m hoping it stays a while in the space you were in.
I froze, and I reckon I missed it,
when all of the rain came down in the shape of everything.
Keep me on fire,
keep me honest, keep me kind,
keep me as your finish line.
Keep me on fire.
