Keep On
Sara S Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is that you don't understand and that, that gets to you
Don't need to hear your voice to know you're outside looking in
Don't need to see your face, I know you're inside out again
Keep them close 'cause they will fuck you too
I will keep you close
I got nothing better to do
'Cause I will miss you
And without you, I will never be whole (never, never, never)
I'll never be full again
I'm missing you like I used to
Like I still do
Sitting here tonight, I'm thinking those simple thoughts
Hoping that you're happy now, happy with what ya got
Keep them close 'cause they will fuck you too
I will keep you close
I got nothing better to do
Better to do
'Cause I will miss you
And without you, I will never be whole (never, never, never)
I will never be full again
I'm missing you like I used to
Like I still do
Wise up, fuck up, know that I'll never lie to you
I won't lie to you
Wise up, fuck up, know that I'll never lie to you
You knew all along
Keep them close 'cause they will fuck you too
I will keep you close
I got nothing better to do (got nothing)
Better to do (got nothing)
I'm missing you
I'm still missing you
I'm missing you
I'm still missing you
I'm missing you (got nothing)
I'm still missing you (got nothing)
I'm missing you
I'm still missing you
The lyrics to Sara S's song "Keep on" describe the feeling of being on the outside looking in, and the struggle to find meaning and purpose. The singer seems to be addressing someone who is either starting late or trying to catch up and never quite fitting in. She expresses the idea that there are people in life who will take advantage of you, so it's important to keep your closest friends close to you. The refrain "I'm missing you like I used to, like I still do" reveals the yearning for a deeper connection with someone who may no longer be close.

The problem with starting halfway through
Beginning late comes with the risk of not fully grasping things and getting overwhelmed
Is that you don't understand and that, that gets to you
Not being able to comprehend everything bothers a person
Don't need to hear your voice to know you're outside looking in
Even without speaking, it's obvious someone is excluded from something
Don't need to see your face, I know you're inside out again
Knowing a person thoroughly, their habits, and patterns makes it predictable that they will act in the same way

I will keep you close
I will hold onto you and protect you

I can't be complete without you
I'll never be full again
I won't feel completely satisfied
I'm missing you like I used to
My longing for you hasn't diminished
Sitting here tonight, I'm thinking those simple thoughts
Reflecting on uncomplicated things on this evening
Hoping that you're happy now, happy with what ya got
Desiring that you're content with what you currently have
Wise up, fuck up, know that I'll never lie to you
Learn from mistakes, acknowledge them, and understand that I won't deceive you
You knew all along
You were already aware of the truth
I'm missing you
I am longing for you
I'm still missing you
My yearning for you remains unchanged
I'm missing you (got nothing)
I don't have anything else to occupy myself with, so I'm longing for you
I'm still missing you (got nothing)
Despite my situation remaining the same, I still miss you
