Sexed Up
Robbie Williams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Loose lips sunk ships
I'm getting to grips with what you said
No, it's not in my head
I can't awaken the dead
Day after day

Why don't we talk about it?
Why do you always doubt that there can be a better way?
It doesn't make me wanna stay

Why don't we break up?
There's nothing left to say
I got my eyes shut, praying they won't stray
And we're not sexed up
That's what makes the difference today
I hope you blow away

You say we're fatally flawed
Well, I'm easily bored, is that okay?
Write me off your list
Make this the last kiss
I'll walk away

Why don't we talk about it?
I'm only here, don't shout it
Given time we'll forget
Let's pretend we never met

Why don't we break up?
There's nothing left to say
I got my eyes shut, praying they won't stray
And we're not sexed up
That's what makes the difference today
I hope you blow away

Screw you, I didn't like your taste anyway
I chose you and that's all gone to waste
It's Saturday, I'll go out and find another you

Why don't we?
Why don't we break up?
There's nothing left to say
I got my eyes shut, praying they won't stray
And we're not sexed up
That's what makes the difference today
I hope you blow away
I hope you blow away
I hope you blow away
I hope you blow away
Blow away




Away
Just not today

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Sexed Up" by Robbie Williams describe a crumbling relationship that is no longer fulfilling the needs of either partner involved. The phrase "loose lips sunk ships" is a reference to a World War II propaganda slogan, often used to encourage soldiers and civilians not to reveal secrets to the enemy that could lead to devastating consequences. In this song, however, it represents the idea that the small things people say in relationships can cause huge damage if not thought through. Williams sings about attempting to understand and work through the problems, but ultimately realizing that sometimes, it is best to simply walk away.


The chorus repeatedly asks, "Why don't we break up?" While the verses suggest that there is nothing left to say, and the singer is tired of trying to make things work. The phrase "I hope you blow away" could be interpreted in two different ways; either Williams is wishing for his partner to disappear or that their disagreements and problems will be swept away by the wind. The overall message of the song is that sometimes it is better to move on from a broken relationship rather than trying to fix something that cannot be repaired.

Loose lips sunk ships
Talking too much lead to consequences


I'm getting to grips with what you said
I'm starting to understand what you meant


No, it's not in my head
This is not just my imagination


I can't awaken the dead
I can't solve old issues


Day after day
Over and over again


Why don't we talk about it?
Why don't we have an open conversation?


Why do you always doubt that there can be a better way?
Why don't you believe that we can improve things?


It doesn't make me wanna stay
This is not making me want to stick around


Why don't we break up?
Why don't we end things?


There's nothing left to say
We have said everything we needed to


I got my eyes shut, praying they won't stray
I'm trying to stay focused and not get distracted


And we're not sexed up
We are not attracted to each other anymore


That's what makes the difference today
That's the reason why things are not working out


I hope you blow away
I hope you leave me alone


You say we're fatally flawed
You think that we are seriously flawed

Well, I get bored easily, is that a problem?


Write me off your list
Remove me from your plans


Make this the last kiss
Let's end it with a final kiss


I'll walk away
I'll leave you behind


Given time we'll forget
We will move on eventually


Let's pretend we never met
Let's just erase each other from our memories


Screw you, I didn't like your taste anyway
I didn't like you that much anyway


I chose you and that's all gone to waste
I regret having chosen you


It's Saturday, I'll go out and find another you
I'll try to move on and find someone else


Away
Far from here


Just not today
But not right now

Lyrics

Loose lips, sunk ships
I'm getting to grips with what you said
No, it's not in my head
I can't awaken the dead day after day

Why don't we talk about it?
Why do you always doubt that there can be a better way?
It doesn't make me wanna stay

Why don't we break up?
There's nothing left to say
I've got my eyes shut
Praying they won't stray
And we're not sexed up
That's what makes the difference today
I hope you blow away

You say we're fatally flawed
Well, I'm easily bored
Is that okay?
Write me off your list, make this the last kiss
I'll walk away

Why don't we talk about it?
I'm only here, don't shout it
Given time, we'll forget
Let's pretend we never met

Why don't we break up?
There's nothing left to say
I've got my eyes shut
Praying they won't stray
And we're not sexed up
That's what makes the difference today
I hope you blow away

Screw you, I didn't like your taste, anyway
I chose you
And that's all gone to waste
It's Saturday, I'll go out and find another you

Why don't we

Why don't we break up?
There's nothing left to say
I've got my eyes shut
Praying they won't stray
And we're not sexed up
That's what makes the difference today
I hope you blow away

I hope you blow away

I hope you blow away, away
Blow away, away
Just not today



@Clauder.

A música "Sexed Up" de Robbie Williams pinta um quadro de um relacionamento moribundo que luta para se manter, alimentado pela falta de intimidade e comunicação.

A música começa com o eu lírico refletindo sobre "palavras soltas" e "navios afundados", sugerindo palavras descuidadas e promessas quebradas.

Eles estão "se acostumando" com algo que disseram, sugerindo um grande problema que não pode ser ignorado.

Dúvidas obscurecem o relacionamento, com perguntas como "Por que você sempre duvida de que pode haver uma maneira melhor?" destacando a falta de confiança e esperança de melhoria.

A linha repetida "E não estamos excitados" atua como um lembrete gritante de uma conexão física que está se desvanecendo. Essa falta de paixão é retratada como o ponto de virada, significando a morte do relacionamento.

"Por que não conversamos sobre isso?" revela a falta de comunicação e intimidade emocional. O casal evita conversas difíceis, levando a mal-entendidos e ressentimento.

Linhas como "Não há mais nada a dizer" e "Com o tempo, esqueceremos" transmitem um sentimento de resignação. O eu lírico aceita o fim do relacionamento e busca uma fuga.

Fingir que nunca se conheceram e ir embora sugerem um desejo de se desvencilhar e seguir em frente sem bagagens emocionais.

Apesar do tom melancólico geral, a música explode com explosões de raiva e amargura. "Foda-se" e "Eu não gostei do seu gosto mesmo assim" mostram a dor e a desilusão que fervilham sob a superfície.

Escolher a parceira e ver tudo ir para o lixo alimenta um sentimento de frustração e esforço desperdiçado.

Apesar da negatividade, as letras também sugerem um vislumbre de esperança. "No sábado, vou sair e encontrar outro você" sugere um potencial para novos começos.

A repetição de "Espero que você desapareça" pode ser interpretada como um desejo de que a dor e o apego se dissipem, permitindo a cura e o fechamento.

Ao interpretar a música de forma original, gostaria de destacar uma importante observação.

A música nos faz pensar na importância de comunicarmos nossos sentimentos e necessidades à quem amamos. Quando não falamos sobre o que está nos incomodando, os problemas só se acumulam e acabam levando ao desgaste do relacionamento.
Também nos faz pensar na importância da intimidade emocional. Um relacionamento não se sustenta apenas na paixão física. É preciso que exista um vínculo emocional forte entre o casal que se ama.

No geral, "Sexed Up" é uma balada sobre a dolorosa decadência de um relacionamento. Captura a complexidade emocional do amor perdido, destacando a falta de comunicação, o desligamento físico e, em última análise, a aceitação de seguir em frente.

Esta é apenas uma interpretação, e a beleza da arte está em sua capacidade de ressoar com indivíduos de diferentes maneiras, e que, a interpretação da música é uma questão de perspectiva. Cada pessoa pode encontrar um significado diferente na letra e na melodia.

Espero que aprecie esta interpretação, que tem como objetivo ajudá-lo a compreender melhor a música, revelando seu significado e proporcionando uma compreensão da beleza e profundidade da música.

@@anne9912 o jacaré e as maquiagens e roupas é pq ela tem gostos tão estranhos que ele não suporta. Pq essa música é de um relacionamento que ia deveria ter acabado, mas o casal não fala sobre… e o rapaz não suporta mais ela e os gostos dela…
