Glow
Porches Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want you to know that I was right
So I tell myself that I
Won't take it back
I won't take it back
I wanna believe in it
But you tell yourself that you won't
Take it back
I won't take it back
I tell you the truth
You tell it to me too
I know I need you
You know that we are through
I drive by your house at night
I hate to think that you think he's right
But you say that I'll be fine
You won't take it back
I won't take it back
I guess all that I can do
Is try to stop thinking about you
But if you wanted to
I'd take it back
If you take me back
I tell you the truth
You tell it to me too
I know I need you
You know that we are through
In "Glow" by Porches, the lyrics explore themes of longing, regret, and the complexities of a broken relationship. The singer expresses a desire to "glow all night," indicating a yearning for attention and validation. They want to be recognized for being right in their actions or decisions. However, they also acknowledge that they won't take it back, suggesting a resistance to admitting any wrongdoing.
There is a shared desire to believe in something, to feel needed, but it seems that both individuals are struggling to fully commit to this sentiment. They convince themselves that they won't take back their words or actions, perhaps to protect their own egos or to maintain a sense of control. The lyrics reveal a struggle with the truth and a mutual acknowledgement of the need for each other, despite knowing deep down that the relationship is over.
The singer confesses to driving by their ex-partner's house at night, implying a lingering attachment and difficulty moving on. They don't want their ex to believe that their new partner is right for them, but deep down, they know that the relationship is already over. The lyrics end with a mix of resignation and a willingness to reconcile. The singer acknowledges that they can only try to stop thinking about the past, but if their ex were to take them back, they would be willing to take back everything.
