See Me
Tei Shi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I jump through hoops and climb trees
Cover my toxic loving
All in the saddling fear, oh
That you see me, see me
See me, see me
Why would I ever hurt him?
I wanna wake you from this
I'll fight you without the fear, oh
If you'll just go see me, see me
See me, see me, see me
You never look at your surroundings
You only think I need my exchange
But I'll be by the trees
And I grow while no one touches
And I unravel your mistakes
If you'd just go see me, see me
I get a little bit dizzy
I jump through hoops and climb trees
Cover my toxic loving
All in the saddling fear, oh
You never look at your surroundings
You only think I need my exchange
But I wait by the trees
And I grow while no one touches
And I unravel your mistakes
By the trees
And I grow while no one touches
And I unravel your mistakes
The song "See Me" by Tei Shi is open to several interpretations, depending on the listener. In the context of the song, the lyrics may refer to a complicated love affair, or a relationship that harbors a secret, possibly illegal, or embarrassing. The song's opening lines, "I get a little bit dizzy, I jump through hoops, and climb trees" portray a sense of unease and an individual struggling with their emotions while trying to keep up appearances.
The phrases "cover my toxic loving" and "all in the saddling fear" may suggest that the singer is protecting themselves from the world, afraid of being truly seen, and unable to be vulnerable. This reluctance to open up is possibly linked to a past hurt or trauma.
The chorus, "That you see me, see me, see me," repeats several times, indicating that the singer craves the attention of the one they love. They want to be seen for who they genuinely are, without pretense, and want to be acknowledged and loved despite their flaws.
Overall, the song speaks to the complexity of human relationships, and how we often hide our true selves behind a facade that we project to others.

I gather every daisy
I jump through hoops and climb trees
Cover my tracks in the breeze
All in a silent plea
That you’ll see me, see me
See me, see me, see me, see me
Why would I ever agree?
Or care about the way you see me?
I wanna wake you from this
I’ll fight you with apathy, oh
If you’ll just go see me, see me
See me, see me, see me
You never look at your surroundings
You only think how they might change
But I’ll be like the trees
And I’ll grow while no one’s watching
And I’ll unravel you mister
If you’d just go see me, see me
I gather every daisy
I jump through hoops and climb trees
Cover my tracks in the breeze
All in a silent plea, oh
You never look at your surroundings
You only think how they might change
But I’ll be like a tree
And I’ll grow while no one’s watching
And I’ll unravel you mister
But I’ll be like the trees
And I’ll grow while no one’s watching
And I’ll unravel you mister

I jump through hoops and climb trees
Cover my tracks in the breeze
All in a silent plea
That you’ll see me, see me
See me, see me
Why would I ever agree?
Or care about the way you see me?
I’ll run away if I please
I’ll fight you with apathy, oh
If you’ll just go see me, see me
See me, see me, see me
You never look at your surroundings
You only think how they might change
But I’ll be like the trees
And I’ll grow while no one’s watching
And I’ll unravel you mister
If you’d just go see me, see me
I get a very dizzy
I jump through hoops and climb trees
Cover my tracks in the breeze
All in a silent plea
You never look at your surroundings
You only think how they might change
But I’ll be like a tree
And I’ll grow while no one’s watching
And I’ll unravel you mister
But I’ll be like the trees
And I’ll grow while no one’s watching

This music is so intimate and resonating I'm not sure if I could handle it wearing headphones...
Seagreentangerine
I feel the headphones draw you closer to the heart of this track...
tiraluvr941
The first time I heard this was with headphone...
Sunmi is art
I can't handle this one with headphone, but it's more because the water sounds sort of sound a bit like someone chewing in a way that really grates on me... can't make it past that part of the song with headphones, which is sad because the song gets so good!
