If Only
Oxytoxin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A secret way too hard to keep
Another reason
To open your mouth and speak
If only if only you weren't so phony
You wouldn't be lonely now
If only if only you tried to show me
This wouldn't be the outcome
A joke that never made me laugh
Another excuse
For you choosing your own path
If only if only you weren't so phony
You wouldn't be lonely now
If only if only you tried to show me
This wouldn't be the outcome
If only if only, if only if only
If only if only, if only if only
If only if only, if only if only
If only if only, if only if only
The lyrics to Oxytoxin's song "If Only" appear to express the singer's feelings of betrayal and disappointment due to someone's hidden agenda and inability to be genuine. The first verse suggests that there is a hidden truth or motive that is difficult to conceal, leading to a sense of deception. The lyrics mention the desire for this person to speak up and reveal their true intentions instead of pretending. The repetition of "if only" emphasizes the regret and longing for a different outcome.
Continuing into the second verse, the lyrics touch on the theme of forgotten memories and insincere gestures. The mention of a joke that falls flat and excuses for this person's actions further accentuates the lack of authenticity in their behavior. The singer seems to imply that if this individual had been honest and genuine, the situation could have been different, hinting at missed opportunities for connection and understanding.
The chorus reinforces the chorus's central message of yearning for honesty and authenticity. The repeated line "if only if only" underscores the deep-seated regret and disappointment felt by the singer. The recurring theme of loneliness and missed opportunities for true connection suggests a sense of longing and sadness over the perceived betrayal.
In the final stanza, the repetition of "if only" serves as a poignant reminder of the singer's wish for a different outcome and a genuine connection. The lyrics capture a sense of frustration and resignation as the singer reflects on what could have been if the other person had been truthful and open. Overall, "If Only" conveys a complex mix of emotions, including betrayal, disappointment, longing, and regret, all wrapped in a poignant exploration of authenticity and honesty in relationships.
