Woman
Teenage Burritos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh friend I thought I saw something new
You stayed too long and
And left before the song was through
Don't you feel the same way too?
I can only love what I feel to me

A country, a city, a woman
A country, a city, a woman

Love knows no freedom to go from you
My country, my city, my life
You know the time you had my way before
Somewhere below there????

Don't you feel the same way too?
I thought you and me were the same
The same
Had no idea, had no idea
I was lighting such a dip and touching flame
Had no idea, had no idea
That????
Had no idea, had no idea,
Towards???
Had no idea, had no idea
I was lighting such a dip and touching and touching flame
Lighting such a dip and touching flame
Lighting such a dip and touching flame
Lighting such a dip and

A country, a city, a woman
A country, a city, a woman

Love grows from freedom to go from you

My country, my city, my life

Love grows from freedom to go from you





My country, my city, my life

Overall Meaning

The Teenage Burritos' song "Woman" is a heartfelt and emotional track about love and the complexities that arise from relationships. The song is written in a dreamy and melodic tone that evokes feelings of nostalgia and longing. The lyrics, while somewhat cryptic, seem to speak to the idea of being in love with someone who is out of reach or has left too soon.


The opening line, "Oh friend I thought I saw something new," suggests the singer's surprise and perhaps disappointment as they watch someone leave before the song is over. The chorus repeats the phrases "A country, a city, a woman," which may represent different aspects of the singer's life or even different people they have loved. The line, "Love knows no freedom to go from you," emphasizes the idea that love can be suffocating and limiting, perhaps hinting at a past relationship that did not allow for growth or freedom.


As the song progresses, the lyrics become increasingly cryptic and abstract, suggesting the singer's confusion and frustration. The repetition of "had no idea" hints at a feeling of betrayal or a sense of being blindsided. The final lines, "Love grows from freedom to go from you / My country, my city, my life," suggests that the singer has perhaps come to a place of acceptance and understanding, recognizing that love can be both beautiful and difficult.


Overall, "Woman" is a poignant and relatable song that speaks to the complexities of love and relationships. Its dreamy and nostalgic tone, combined with its sometimes cryptic lyrics, make it a compelling and emotionally resonant track.
