Obvious
Shaqdi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is he your lover or is he your friend?
I wouldn't know 'cause it's hard to tell
And he is so cold
Struggling to find the words to say
I wanna be more than a shallow friend
He should have noticed, to be aware
'Cause it's so obvious, so clear to see
That I can't keep my eyes away
So visible, like cellophane, you can see right through me
It's so obvious
It should be obvious
I'm riding 'round the city on a Saturday night
Got only one thing on my mind, spinning around
It's only you
It's only you
I'm riding 'round the city on a summer night
I've got this burning feeling, gotta let it out
It's only you
It's only you
Seasons come and seasons go
We never seem to set it off
I wouldn't know 'cause it's hard to tell
If this is love
Seasons come and seasons go
I wanna be more, wanna let him know
He should be flattered
He should have seen all the things that I do
'Cause it's so obvious, so clear to see
That I can't keep my eyes away
So visible, like cellophane, you can see right through me
It's so obvious
It should be obvious
I'm riding 'round the city on a Saturday night
Got only one thing on my mind, spinning around
It's only you
It's only you
I'm riding 'round the city on a summer night
I've got this burning feeling, gotta let it out
It's only you
It's only you
I'm riding 'round the city
I'm riding 'round the city
I'm riding 'round the city
I'm riding 'round the city
Go

The lyrics of Shaqdi's song "Obvious" depict a person's struggle to express their feelings for someone they are attracted to but unsure about their feelings in return. The first stanza contrasts the ambiguity of the person's feelings towards the individual with the fact that they are cold and distant. While the singer is giving so much, they are struggling to find the words to express their emotions, which are so glaringly obvious to everyone else.
The second stanza features the singer riding around the city on both a winter and summer night, contemplating their feelings towards the individual. They have become fed up with the back and forth of their relationship, which never seems to get started, despite their best efforts. They want to be more than just a shallow friend and express how they feel to the other person. However, they fear rejection and continue to struggle with finding the right way to express their emotions.
The repetition of "It's only you" in the chorus highlights the singer's fixation on this individual, indicating that they may be obsessing over their feelings for them. The chorus and the ending of the song reinforce the idea that the singer's feelings are obvious and that they want the object of their affection to notice and reciprocate them.
