Verse
Rhye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you hear it in the verse?
Oh I'll call
When you see it on my face, see it on my face
Ain't got a second to waste, oh I know
Ain't got a second to waste, oh I know
Ain't got a second to waste, oh I, I know
(Oh I know)
In the morning light those circles fade
I've always hated that moment
It's bitter sweet in my mouth
Just as we face ourselves
Oh my song, says it all
Do you hear it in the verse?
Ain't got a second to waste, oh I know
Ain't got a second to waste, oh I know
Ain't got a second to waste, oh I know
Ain't got a second to waste, oh I know
Oh I know
Oh I know (oh, ooh, oh)
We've comped this bass together
Let's build
Let's build
The lyrics of Rhye's "Verse" convey the urgency of the singer to communicate something meaningful to someone. The opening lines suggest that the singer's song is enough to convey their message to someone. The repetition of the line "Do you hear it in the verse?" further emphasizes the importance of the lyrics. The second verse indicates that the singer may have been delaying this communication, and they no longer have time to waste. They are ready to call and face the person, despite the risk of appearing vulnerable ("When you see it on my face, see it on my face").
The bridge is particularly notable with its references to circles fading in the morning light, and the bitter sweetness experienced in facing oneself. These lines suggest the singer may be struggling with their own emotions or seeking clarity. Despite these struggles, the singer's song is still enough to convey their intentions ("Oh my song says it all"). The final lines, "We've comped this bass together/Let's build/Let's build" imply a sense of collaboration and building together, possibly representing the desire to overcome these struggles with this person.
Overall, the song's lyrics express a sense of urgency, directness, and honesty in communicating one's feelings. The desire to build something with the other person despite facing struggles together also suggests a willingness to work through difficult times.
