Lately
Sammie | www.Marvin-Vibez.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A million words to say I couldn’t sleep
They fought their way one by another
One glass of wine follows the other … hm
In the kitchen on the sofa in the park in the dark
In the desert in the rain, I felt the pain … did you feel it too
After all is said and done
There are no more words to come
Lately, I’ve discovered a change
Lying here close to you
To feel your bodies warmth that's all I’ll wanna do
You keep on talking and I try to cover
One single word follows the other …
In the kitchen on the sofa in the park in the dark
In the desert in the rain, I felt the pain … did you feel it too
After all is said and done
There are no more words to come
Time has killed the talking range
Lately, I’ve discovered a change
Finally, I'm on my own
I'm sitting here on my silent throne
I miss my dear but just undercover
Will take some time but I'll find another
In the kitchen on the sofa in the park in the dark
In the desert in the rain, I felt the pain … did you feel it too
After nothing is said and done
My valentine is on the run
Convenience changed the depth of love
But I stand proudly high above
After all is said and done
There are no more words to come
Time has killed the talking range
Lately, I’ve discovered a change
The song "Lately" by Sammie is about the changes in relationships over time. The lyrics express a feeling of nostalgia for a time when communication and deep feelings were more prevalent. The singer longs for a time when they had more to say, but as time goes by, they realize that there is less to say and communication has become more superficial. The theme of the song is the changing nature of relationships as time passes.
The first verse speaks about how in the past the singer had a million words to say, but now they have discovered a change. This is followed by the chorus that talks about the inability to communicate anymore as time has passed. The second verse reveals that the singer is with someone, but they are not intensely connected anymore. The song ends with the singer saying that they will miss their former love, but they are prepared to move on.
The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has been in a long-term relationship that has lost its spark. The song descriptively portrays the changes in a relationship over time and the transition from deep intimacy to superficial communication.

Back in the day's thoughts were deep
In the past, my thoughts were profound
A million words to say I couldn’t sleep
I had so much on my mind that I couldn't sleep
They fought their way one by another
My thoughts were constantly competing with each other
One glass of wine follows the other … hm
I started drinking to ease my mind
In the kitchen on the sofa in the park in the dark
I felt the same thoughts no matter where I was
In the desert in the rain, I felt the pain … did you feel it too
My emotions were present everywhere, even in unfamiliar places
After all is said and done
Even with everything I've expressed
There are no more words to come
I still can't put everything into words
Time has killed the talking range
I've lost my ability to communicate effectively
Lately, I’ve discovered a change
Recently, I've undergone a transformation
Lying here close to you
Being near you
To feel your bodies warmth that's all I’ll wanna do
All I want is to be close to you
You keep on talking and I try to cover
I divert my attention from my thoughts to listen to you
One single word follows the other …
I'm still struggling to express myself
Finally, I'm on my own
Now, I'm alone
I'm sitting here on my silent throne
Alone, in my own silent world
I miss my dear but just undercover
I'm hiding my feelings for my love
Will take some time but I'll find another
It will take time, but I'll move on
After nothing is said and done
Once everything is expressed
My valentine is on the run
My love has left me
Convenience changed the depth of love
The convenience in relationships diminishes love
But I stand proudly high above
However, I am still standing strong
After all is said and done
Even with everything I've expressed
There are no more words to come
I still can't find the right words
Time has killed the talking range
I've lost the ability to express myself effectively
Lately, I’ve discovered a change
Recently, I've undergone a transformation
