Woman
Sam Farrar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would you tell me
That the time just isn't right
And if i ever find the key you hide so well
Will you tell me
That I can spend the night
Leaving your smell on my coat
I still fail to understand
What it is about this woman
Yeah ow wow
If I could bottle up the chills that you give me
I would keep them
In a jar next to my bed
And if i should ever draw a picture of a woman
It is you
That would come flowing through my pen
Leaving your clothes on the floor
Making me walk out the door
And i still fail to understand
What it is about this woman
Ow
Helplessly melting
As i stand next to the sun
As you burn me
I am screaming out for more
Drink every drop of liquid
In the heat that I've become
Pop me open
Spoon me out onto the floor
Leaving your smell on my coat
Leaving your taste on my shoulder
I still fail to understand
Fail to understand
Leaving your smell on my coat
Leaving your taste on my shoulder
I still fail to understand
What it is about this woman
Yeah
The song "Woman" by Sam Farrar delves into the infatuation and allure of a woman that he just can't seem to understand. The opening lines of the song are questioning whether the woman he desires would accept his proposition to climb beside her, with the implication being that she may reject him. The lyrics reflect a sense of uncertainty and hesitancy, as Farrar is unsure of whether the timing is right, and whether he can even find the key to her heart that he believes she's hiding so well.
The following lines focus on the tangible and intangible sensations that this woman brings to his life. Farrar describes her scent and taste still being present on his body, even after she's gone, and how he fails to understand why she has such a hold on him. The second verse continues with the theme of wanting to physically hold onto the feelings she gives him, as he wishes to bottle up the chills she gives him and capture her essence in a drawing.
The final verse of the song picks up the intensity as Farrar describes how this woman has left him melting in the heat of their passion. Throughout it all, he still fails to comprehend why he's so drawn to her. The repetition of the phrase "leaving your smell on my coat, leaving your taste on my shoulder" reinforces the physical and emotional imprint this woman has on him.
Overall, the song is a beautiful depiction of the mystery and allure of love, and how it can leave us powerless and yearning for more.
Line by Line Meaning
If I'd be so inclined to climb up beside you
If I were to attempt to get close to you
Would you tell me
Will you let me know
That the time just isn't right
That the circumstances are not favorable
And if i ever find the key you hide so well
And if I ever discover what you're hiding
Will you tell me
Will you then let me know
That I can spend the night
That it's okay to stay with you
Leaving your smell on my coat
Your strong scent remains on my coat
Leaving your taste on my shoulder
Your flavor lingers on my skin
I still fail to understand
I am still unaware
What it is about this woman
What it is that draws me to you
If I could bottle up the chills that you give me
If I could capture the thrills you give me
I would keep them
I would hold onto them
In a jar next to my bed
In a container close to where I sleep
And if i should ever draw a picture of a woman
And if I were to sketch a female figure
It is you
You are the subject
That would come flowing through my pen
That would be vividly illustrated
Making me walk out the door
Forcing me out
Helplessly melting
Inevitably melting
As i stand next to the sun
As I stand beside a charismatic person
As you burn me
As you arouse me
I am screaming out for more
I crave for more
Drink every drop of liquid
Consume all of what I have to offer
In the heat that I've become
In the passion that I possess
Pop me open
Unleash me
Spoon me out onto the floor
Take me out and enjoy me fully
