Yesterday
Télépopmusik Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And you don't know it
What hides inside me
If nothings so different
Don't close the door
I'm not asking for more

Oh god I'd give my life for you
For just one second that was true
Keep me feeling so brand new

You know why yesterday was a lie

And even when you're sad
I walk away
And even when you're happy
I stay

Did I sale my soul for this feeling
So long ago

Did I give my heart for that waste
At the time

I'm not asking for much
Don't hid me
Then you wonder why my heart

Did I sell my soul for that feeling

You know why yesterday was a lie
I can't keep thinkin' I was right





Don't go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Telepopmusik's song "Yesterday" speak to the singer's internal struggles and the hidden emotions that they don't reveal to others. The opening lines of the song, "And you don't know it, what hides inside me, if nothings so different don't close the door, I'm not asking for more," suggest that the singer has a sense of vulnerability that they may not show to others. They are asking for an open mind and a willingness to accept them for who they are, without judgment or rejection.


The second verse of the song shifts the focus to the singer's feelings for someone else, perhaps a romantic interest. They express a desire to be accepted by this person: "Oh god I'd give my life for you, for just one second that was true, keep me feeling so brand new." The line "you know why yesterday was a lie" suggests that the singer feels misunderstood or misrepresented, and perhaps they are trying to rectify that situation.


The song's refrain reinforces the idea of the singer's inner turmoil, as they ask themselves whether they have "sold [their] soul for this feeling" and whether they "gave [their] heart for that waste." These lines suggest that the singer is struggling to reconcile their desires with their sense of self-worth. The repeated refrain "you know why yesterday was a lie" reinforces the idea that there is a discrepancy between the singer's inner life and the way they are perceived by others.


Overall, "Yesterday" is a song about the complexity of human emotions and the struggle to be understood by others. It speaks to themes of vulnerability, self-worth, and the ways in which we present ourselves to the world.

"And you don't know it

If nothing's so different
Don't close the door
I'm not asking for more

Oh god, I'd give my life for you
For just one second that was true
Keep me feeling so brand new

You know why yesterday was a lie

And even when you're sad
I walk away
And even when you're happy
I stay

Did I sell my soul for this feeling
So long ago

Did I give my heart for that waste
Of time

I'm not asking for much
Don't hide me
Then you'll wander in my heart
Did I sell my soul for that feeling

You know why yesterday was a lie
I can't keep thinkin' I was right

Don't go"

"Yesterday Was a Lie", its been five years to this day that my younger brother pass away from heart attack. I know God knows what is best, but on this day...He was wrong for taking him to early. He was our gentle giant and the smile he gave till this day will always light up the room. No matter how bad it may look, he never took life for grant it. Just keep moving because tomorrow was a better day. We miss you bro and their is plenty of people who love you very much miss you dear. Although, you gone, just know that 6 nieces and nephews (4, 3's, 2's and 1) who do know you physical, will know that their Uncle was a great man and brother. See you on the other side someday.

God God I mean really..yes God works in mysterious ways...haaaaa now if you did not have a god to blame, how would of you reacted.. God or no God shit happens.. hell no its unfair that your little brother dies.. but you need to realize that God does not care and that we are just human and we tend to break down no matter who you are...dont blame, dont carry resentments, anger will eat you up mentally and physically. dont let this bring you down....Gods are useless and your belief in him her have gotten you no where, as a matter of fact your belief has brought you heart ach and misery...trust your self praise your self you are the only one that can change things around you..cant change a loved ones death but you have the ability to deal with it in a more positive way, good and bad happens to all of us its not a God thing.. its just the way of life.. nothing is perfect.. deal with it.

Sending you love <3
