Karma
Sarah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now come on in
Take a seat and let's get started
Tell me, fortune teller
Will I let another broken heart in?

It's not up to me to decide
The gods have told me this a thousand times
"It's not up to you"
So what is the truth to you?
So what is the truth?

Your superstition keeps me thinking it was karma
But I can't listen my intuition says I want you
You say everything comes back around
It'll haunt you
But I can't admit my intuition says I want you
And I want you, I want you

I swear it's a sign that we first met on a Friday
Everyone told me the thirteenth was bad luck

But you said, "how could I even care if the gods were against us?"
But I care if they're against us
Don't you care if our fate is against us?

Your superstition keeps me thinking it was karma
But I can't listen my intuition says I want you
You say everything comes back around
It'll haunt you
But I can't admit my intuition says I want you
And I want you, I want you

(And I want you, I want you)
And I want you, I want you

Is it karma if I end up the fool? Is it karma?
I keep coming back to you
To you, to you, to you, to you

Your superstition keeps me thinking it was karma
But I can't listen my intuition says I want you
You say everything comes back around, it'll haunt you
But I can't admit my intuition says I want you
And I want you, I want you

(And I want you, I want you)
(And I want you, I want you)





And I want you, I want you

Overall Meaning

The song "Karma" by Sarah is a reflective and introspective exploration of the tension between superstition and intuition when it comes to matters of the heart. The opening lines invite the listener in, and the singer asks the fortune teller whether they will let another broken heart in. This sets the stage for the underlying theme of navigating relationships and whether to trust the signs and superstitions around love, or to follow one's intuition.


The chorus centers around the singer's dilemma between their belief in karma and their intuition to pursue a relationship with someone. The singer acknowledges that their partner's superstitions keep them thinking that their relationship is "karma," but their intuition drives them to want to be with their partner regardless. The repeated lines "And I want you, I want you" emphasize the singer's internal conflict and their overwhelming desire for their partner.


The bridge brings up the question of whether the singer's eventual heartbreak would be karma, given their disregard for the signs and superstitions around relationships. The song concludes with the repeated refrain of "And I want you, I want you," underscoring the singer's desire despite the uncertainty and doubt surrounding their relationship.


Overall, "Karma" is a thoughtful examination of the battle between fear-based beliefs and trusting one's intuition in matters of the heart.
