This Way
Psapp Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your milky black eyes,
resting on me.
Your hand's like paper,
on my knee.

I kneel at your chair,
until you stay.
But we will all go
This way.

The end of your days,
will happen here,
in this old house,
and with no fear.





This way, I know, This way.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "This Way" by Psapp evoke a sense of intimate contemplation of mortality. The opening lines describe the physicality of a gaze and a touch, inducing a feeling of proximity and tenderness. The following verse, however, shifts focus to kneeling at someone's chair, perhaps implying a begging for a longer time together. Yet, the chorus strongly reminds us of the inevitability of all our paths, and it is through the singer's knowing that they will all go "This Way." The final verse returns to the image of an old house, closing the circle of life.


There is a sense of finality and acceptance in these lyrics that manages to be both melancholic and comforting. The imagery crafted by Psapp is both tangible and ethereal, capturing the passage of time and the human experience in a unique and timeless way. The repetition of "This Way" echoes the finality of death while also highlighting that it is a shared experience that connects all humans.
