Loved By You
Terror Jr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I wanna let you in my room
We could talk 'bout the stars and the moon
But I don't need to be, need to be
Cross my heart and hope to die (She died, she died)
Tell me all those pretty lies (She lied, she lied)
'Cause real life don't feel that nice
Ooh, I don't wanna know
Ooh, if it's real
Ooh, will you follow where I go?
I gotta know, I've gotta know
I don't need to be loved by you
But I wanna let you in my room
We could talk 'bout the stars and the moon
But I don't need to loved by you
And I can tell that you act so cool
To get away from a world so cruel
And I don't need to be loved by you
But I wanna be loved by you
But I don't need to be loved by you
But I wanna be loved by you
Baby, tell me what I need
Who gon' save me from myself? (Oh, oh, oh)
Love is always out of reach
Got my heart up on the shelf
Hard to reach for it, give me some help
Ooh, I don't wanna know
Ooh, if it's real
Ooh, will you follow where I go?
I gotta know, I've gotta know
I don't need to be loved by you
But I wanna let you in my room
We could talk 'bout the stars and the moon
But I don't need to loved by you
And I can tell that you act so cool
To get away from a world so cruel
And I don't need to be loved by you
But I wanna be loved by you
But I don't need to be loved by you
But I wanna be loved by you
By you, by you, by you, by you
But I wanna be loved by you
The lyrics to "Loved By You" by Terror Jr explore the complex emotions and desires of the singer when it comes to love and relationships. The song begins with the line, "I don't need to be loved by you, but I wanna let you in my room." This suggests that while the singer may not necessarily depend on the love of this particular person, they have a desire to open themselves up to them and share intimate moments. The mention of talking about "the stars and the moon" implies a deeper connection and the potential for meaningful conversations.
The following lines, "Cross my heart and hope to die, tell me all those pretty lies, 'cause real life don't feel that nice, maybe this is paradise," convey a sense of skepticism and cynicism when it comes to love. The singer acknowledges that people often tell attractive lies in relationships, and real life can be far from the idealized version we imagine. Despite this, they consider the possibility that their connection with this person might offer a glimpse of something close to paradise.
The chorus repeats the idea that the singer doesn't need to be loved by this person, hinting at some level of self-reliance and independence. However, they express a desire to be loved by them, suggesting a yearning for emotional closeness and validation. The mention of the person acting "so cool" may refer to their attempts to distance themselves from the harsh realities of the world. This could imply that the singer sees the potential in this person to offer solace and escape from a cruel world.
The bridge of the song shifts the focus towards the internal struggles of the singer. They ask, "Baby, tell me what I need, who gon' save me from myself?" This line expresses a sense of self-awareness and a recognition that they may need someone to help them navigate their own internal battles. The line "Love is always out of reach, got my heart up on the shelf" emphasizes the difficulty the singer faces in finding love and the protective barriers they have put up to shield their heart.
Overall, "Loved By You" speaks to the conflicting emotions of longing for love and warmth while maintaining a sense of self-sufficiency. The lyrics convey a desire to open up to someone and find solace in their presence, even though the singer acknowledges the potential pitfalls and challenges of love. This song captures the complexities and contradictions that often come with relationships and the raw emotions that accompany them.
Line by Line Meaning
I don't need to be loved by you
I don't require your love or validation
But I wanna let you in my room
I desire to share my inner self with you
We could talk 'bout the stars and the moon
We can engage in deep conversations about the wonders of the universe
But I don't need to be, need to be
However, it is not essential for me to have that need
Cross my heart and hope to die (She died, she died)
I solemnly promise and swear to the point of death
Tell me all those pretty lies (She lied, she lied)
Convey falsehoods that are pleasing to hear
'Cause real life don't feel that nice
Because the true reality is not as pleasant
Maybe this is paradise (She died, she died)
Perhaps this illusion is an idealized version of reality
Ooh, I don't wanna know
Oh, I prefer to remain unaware
Ooh, if it's real
Oh, if what I am experiencing is genuine
Ooh, will you follow where I go?
Oh, will you accompany me on my journey?
I gotta know, I've gotta know
I must acquire this knowledge, I am compelled to do so
And I can tell that you act so cool
I discern that you present yourself in a detached manner
To get away from a world so cruel
To escape from a harsh and unforgiving world
But I wanna be loved by you
However, I desire to experience your love
Baby, tell me what I need
Darling, enlighten me about what I require
Who gon' save me from myself? (Oh, oh, oh)
Who will rescue me from my own destructive tendencies?
Love is always out of reach
Affection is consistently beyond my grasp
Got my heart up on the shelf
I have stashed my emotions away and kept them aside
Hard to reach for it, give me some help
It is challenging to access them, so please assist me
By you, by you, by you, by you
By your affection, by your affection, by your affection, by your affection
But I wanna be loved by you
But I long to receive your love

The cool thing is they're so real, and close to their audience, you don't want that to go away, with fame. Who knows, the real won't change, hopefully the stay close, regardless of their fame. Their music will reflect that in the future tho. All I'm saying is they need to throw a convention lol
