Sway
Rhodes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blind sighted, everyone seems so far away
We were just out here walking
I don't how we came to stop here
Oh stay, sway together, sway together
Stay, sway together.
When were high up above and the night is all blind.
Cold breeze, knowingly whisper close to me
Tall trees, cover the lines where people meet
We were just out here walking
I don't how we came to stop here
So stay, sway together, sway together
Stay, sway together.
When were blinded now
When were blinded now
When were high up above and the night is all blind
When were high up above and the night is all blind
So stay, sway together, sway together
Stay, sway together.
Hold me tight.
Rhodes's song "Sway" evokes a sense of disconnection and isolation. The lyrics are introspective and hint at the confusion the singer is experiencing. The opening line of the song, "Cold minded, even the straight lines start to sway" suggests that the singer is struggling to find their place in the world. The mention of "straight lines" suggests rigidity and tight control and "sway" implies that things are starting to unravel.
The singer further describes their estrangement from the world in the lines "Blind sighted, everyone seems so far away." Again, the use of opposing ideas such as "blind" and "sighted" demonstrates the confusion the singer is experiencing. They seem aware of everything around them but unable to connect with anyone. This is compounded when the singer says, "I don't know how we came to stop here." They are lost and unsure of how they ended up where they are.
However, despite the sense of disorientation, the singer longs for connection. The repetition of "stay, sway together" suggests an intense desire for unity and togetherness. The lyrics "hold me tight" also imply a need for warmth and comfort. "Sway" is ultimately a plea for companionship from someone who is feeling alone and disoriented in the world.
