Lovers
Seajeff Lyrics

The opening lines of Seajeff's song 'Lovers' are poignant yet thought-provoking. The lyrics seem to question the essence of a relationship once the initial passion dies down. Do we still hold the same love for our partner even amidst the mundanity of daily life? The questioning continues as the next phrase describes a disconnect between the singer and their partner. The singer is feeling cold even though it is springtime, potentially indicating that the warmth of the connection is missing, adding to the confusion and uncertainty that often comes with balancing love and life.

The third verse highlights the haunting memories of their relationship that are buried beneath the surface. The winters of past years have been like a metaphor for the coldness and hardships that the couple may have faced. Although tears have been buried and forgotten, the singer is still reminiscing about the pain that has been experienced in their relationship. The language evokes a sense of sadness and wistfulness, hinting at the turmoil that the singer may be experiencing.

The final verse asks an array of questions, alluding to a sense of attempting to understand their partner's motives. The act of running away once cornered even though there is nothing to hide can be interpreted as a desire to disconnect completely from the relationship. The idea of 'going inside your shadow' where it is often associated with hiding from others, shows the singer’s uncertainty regarding their partner’s mindset, probably they don't know the reason or the extent of their partner's turmoil. The line 'where do you lie when the sun is out at night?' is a deeply metaphorical representation of the lies and half-truths that may exist within a relationship, even in seemingly unimportant times.
