in between
Sage Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I remember when we used to stay up all night long
We would never have thought we've be in the wrong
Spending hours never really doing anything
We could hear each other without a word

Is there another feeling in between?
Is there another feeling in between?
I've always been wandering how we could change so fast
Did it really happen in the past?
Once you told me there was nothing better than a friend
I would easily believe in a friend

Is there another feeling in between?
Is there another feeling in between?

Now I have to clear myself in front of everyone
But I'm not really sure what I've done
It seems like you're trying to choose between love and hate
While I keep asking to myself





Is there another feeling in between?
Is there another feeling in between?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sage's song "In Between" capture the melancholic reflection on a past friendship that has become complicated, fraught with unspoken tensions and choices about feelings. The song starts with memories of staying up all night long with a friend, bonding and enjoying each other's company, and almost taking it for granted that they would never "be in the wrong". However, things change, on a dime, and the bond begins to fracture, as the once carefree and jovial friendship becomes distant and uncommunicative. The singer of the song, perhaps Sage herself, asks if there is another feeling in between the extremes of intimacy and indifference that have developed between the two friends, as if to ask what went wrong and whether it could be fixed.


The song then wonders how and when this change happened and almost suggests that it is hard to pinpoint. The friend once said that there was nothing better than a friend, and the poet very much believed in that sentiment, as it was once true. However, now that sentiment seems like something that was not meant for the present, as Sage seems to be lost in the confusion of the current status of the friendship. The song then takes a turn, as it becomes apparent that the friendship was perhaps not as platonic as the singer thought, and there are more feelings involved than what was at first believed. Sage is left to wonder what went wrong and whether there is something in between the two extremes of love and hate that has been conjured up.


Overall, Sage's song "In Between" is an insightful and reflective piece of music that captures the nuances of a friendship that has gone sour, highlighting the complexities of human relationships. It touches on themes such as intimacy, friendship, confusion, doubt, distance, and emotions, all of which make it a relatable and moving piece of music.

Si Sage passe près de chez vous en concert foncez acheter une place ! Je l'ai vu en première partie de The Dø et j'aurais aimé que ça dure plus longtemps... ❤️

Maximus Mobilis

Musicalement abouti, des influences assumées, des images pures très éloignées d'une vulgarité si commune aujourd'hui, une mélodie presque symphonique, le sage sagittaire surprend par sa profondeur si caractéristique et son sens artistique - Bravo Sage - Mille fois! (tu disais à la radio un piano de guitariste, j'entends le piano de William SH.)

CALIBAN

Juste magnifique !!! Quel voix...
