When I See You
The Moog Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just to feel I don't obey
I think I'll leave without a trace
So I never fall from grace
Just want me, just need me
Just say that I'm your baby
I love you then kill you
Woohoowhooo
Have I found somebody new
Or is it just another you?
I feel the flood is on its way
Are we strong enough to stay?
Just want me, just need me
Just say that I'm your baby
I haunt you then kill you
When I see you I go
Woohoowhooo
The Moog's song "When I See You" seems to be about someone who wants to leave without a trace and avoid falling from grace. They claim to be busy every day to make it feel like they're not being disobedient. The lyrics suggest that there might be some uncertainty about whether they have found new love or if it's just the same person they've been with before. The mention of the "flood" coming could be a metaphor for impending emotional turmoil. The question remains as to whether they are strong enough to weather the storm.
The repeated refrain of "just want me, just need me, just say that I'm your baby" could suggest a yearning for affection and validation. The following line, "I love you then kill you, when I see you I go," adds a dark twist to this desire, hinting at a destructive pattern in the character's relationships. The final "woohoowhooo" feels like a release of emotion after all of the buildup in the preceding verses.
Overall, the lyrics of "When I See You" are somewhat enigmatic, leaving a lot open to interpretation. The themes of love, uncertainty, and destructive behavior all come through, but the details of the story are left up to the listener to piece together.
