Yeah!
Oscar Lang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Listen up
I like you by my side but
Can you give a fuck
About the things that I'm into?
You can try but you roll your eyes
You can try but your brain goes dryYou can try but your face don't lie
Don't lie, don't lie, don't lie
She's starin' far away
You got nothin' else to say
And here it comes again
All she really says is, "Yeah"
When she's pretending to care
She's never really ever there
When she's pretending to care
She says, "Yeah"
Listen here
I feel you're not awake sometimes
Can you hear?
I love you all the same but I'm
Tired of dealing with the same cold face
Tired of dealing with same old same
Tired of dealing with your same old games
Your games, your games, your games
She can't communicate
Her mind's on holiday
And here it comes again
All she really says is, "Yeah"
When she's pretending to care
She's never really ever there
When she's pretending to care
She says, "Yeah"
Our personalities
In mutuality
Our commonalities
Oh, can you see that maybe you and I
You and I, you and I
Maybe we're alright
We're alright, we're alright
She really says is, "Yeah"
When she's pretending to care
She's never really ever there
When she's pretending to care
She says, "Yeah"
The lyrics in Oscar Lang's song "Yeah" explore the frustration of feeling disconnected and unappreciated in a relationship. The singer loves having their partner by their side but feels that they do not share the same interests or passions. The partner tries to show that they care but ultimately appears disinterested and emotionally distant. This creates a sense of resentment and exhaustion for the singer, who is tired of dealing with the same old routines and games. The bridge introduces a moment of hope, where the singer suggests that they share many commonalities and are perhaps "alright" together.
The repeated use of "yeah" in the chorus emphasizes the partner's lack of engagement and suggests that they are merely going through the motions, pretending to care without truly connecting with the singer. The refrain "when she's pretending to care" emphasizes this sense of fakeness and emphasizes the singer's feelings of isolation and frustration. The verses provide further detail about the partner's disconnect, with lyrics such as "your brain goes dry" and "her mind's on holiday" suggesting a lack of engagement and mental presence.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of emotional distance and frustration in a relationship, highlighting the importance of genuine connection and shared interests.
