R-Ash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Sister Kay, you know)
(Sing it girl)
I knew that someone who come around, like you
Who said it was going down, it's true
Nothing's forever, a dream's just a dream
And every single night I feel like
Two hearts get irritated because
Two parts are separating
I know there is no more words to say, to say
Don't turn around, just walk away
'Cause I won't believe in the words you say
'Cause still I don't know why
Something about you (Something about you, ya)
Don't play no games, going 'round and 'round
Don't call my name, I've been touching ground
'Cause boy I can't deny something about you
(Something about you)
If I knew this before, I'm sure
I've never opened the door, once more
I'm getting over it now
But again and again and again
I don't know what to do
When you call out my name
I hope I once be feeling the same
I know there is no more words to say, to say
Don't turn around, just walk away
'Cause I won't believe in the words you say
'Cause still I don't know why
Something about you (Something about you, ya)
Don't play no games, going 'round and 'round
Don't call my name, I've been touching ground
'Cause boy I can't deny something about you
(Liz Kay!)
Something about you
Something about you
Something about you
Yea, yea
Don't turn around, just walk away
'Cause I won't believe in the words you say
'Cause still I don't know why
Something about you
Don't play no games, going 'round and 'round
Don't call my name, I've been touching ground
'Cause boy I can't deny something about you
Don't turn around, just walk away, yea, hey
Still I don't know why, something about you
Don't play no games, going 'round and 'round
Don't call my name, I've been touching ground
'Cause boy I can't deny something about you
The lyrics to R-Ash's song "Something About You" revolves around the idea of a turbulent and confusing romantic relationship. The song explores the singer's struggle to understand and navigate their feelings towards someone they are attracted to.
The opening lines ("I knew that someone who come around, like you / Who said it was going down, it's true") suggest that the singer had an intuitive sense that something significant would happen with the person they are addressing. However, they also acknowledge that nothing is permanent and dreams may not become reality ("Nothing's forever, a dream's just a dream").
The chorus ("Don't turn around, just walk away / 'Cause I won't believe in the words you say / 'Cause still I don't know why / Something about you") expresses the singer's dilemma of being unable to fully trust the person's words and actions. They sense that there is something captivating and alluring about this person, but they also feel a deep level of uncertainty and confusion.
The second verse ("If I knew this before, I'm sure / I've never opened the door, once more") reveals the singer's regret about opening themselves up emotionally to this person. Despite their attempts to move on and get over the situation, they find themselves constantly drawn back in ("But again and again and again").
The bridge ("I hope I once be feeling the same / I know there is no more words to say, to say") portrays the singer's longing for a mutual connection and a desire for clarity. They hold on to the hope that one day, they will share the same feelings as the person they are addressing. However, they acknowledge that words can no longer convey what they feel.
Overall, "Something About You" captures the emotional rollercoaster of being fascinated by someone while also experiencing doubt and confusion. The lyrics suggest a struggle to find closure and make sense of the complexity of emotions involved in this relationship.
