Tanya St-val Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A record baby round, you spin me around
And I’m dizzy now
And I’m wearing out, out, out
Ooh ooh darling, don’t you know that you’re wearing me thin
Torn sneakers baby I’m 500 miles in
And I’m tiring
Just let me in, in, in
These muscles burn, this back is tight
These feet are aching, Achilles cry
It’s all uphill, ooh a treadmill
To get to you
I must admit, I just can’t quit
Huffing and puffing, cardio HIIT
I’m losing pace, treading away
To get to you
Ooh, around we go
Ooh, a spin cyclone
Please give your love to me
Ooh ooh darling, don’t you know that you’re wearing me out
A record baby round, you spin me around
And I’m dizzy now
And I’m wearing out, out, out
Ooh ooh darling, don’t you know that you’re wearing me thin
Torn sneakers baby I’m 500 miles in
And I’m tiring
Just let me in, in, in
I’m overworked, I’m underwhelmed
No satisfaction here for myself
I push I pull, can’t get no love
No love from you
Ooh, around we go
Ooh, a spin cyclone
Please give your love to me
Ooh ooh darling, don’t you know that you’re wearing me out
A record baby round, you spin me around
And I’m dizzy now
and I’m wearing out, out, out
Ooh ooh darling, don’t you know that you’re wearing me thin
Torn sneakers baby I’m 500 miles in
and I’m tiring
Just let me in, in, in
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ooh baby baby
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ooh, hey hey
In this song, the singer expresses feelings of exhaustion and frustration in a relationship. The repetition of "Ooh ooh darling, don't you know that you're wearing me out" emphasizes the emotional toll the relationship is taking on her. The comparison to a spinning record suggests that the constant back-and-forth of the relationship is leaving her feeling dizzy and drained.
The line "Torn sneakers baby I’m 500 miles in" suggests that she has invested a lot of time and effort into the relationship, but now she is reaching her limits. She's tired and wants some relief, asking the other person to "just let me in." This could mean she wants the other person to let her into their life or to open up to her emotionally.
The following verses highlight the physical and emotional strain she is experiencing. The mention of burning muscles, a tight back, and aching feet symbolizes the wear and tear the relationship has caused. The metaphorical uphill battle and treadmill represent the constant effort she is putting in to make the relationship work, while also feeling like she's losing her own pace.
The lines "I'm overworked, I'm underwhelmed, no satisfaction here for myself" reveal the singer's discontent and dissatisfaction. Despite her efforts, she feels like she's not receiving the love and attention she desires from the other person. The plea for them to "give your love to me" suggests that she wants their emotional investment to be reciprocated.
Overall, "Darlin" conveys a sense of weariness and frustration in a one-sided relationship. The lyrics capture the physical and emotional toll the singer is experiencing while expressing a desire for a more balanced and fulfilling connection.
