Sarah
The Tyler Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I get so paralyzed looking in your blue eyes
Beauty beyond compare, I cannot help but stare
Delicate and demure, that's what I like for sure
Glimpse of your silhouette, dancing inside my head

Tell me because I care, fingers run through your hair
I'll give you wings to fly, trust me and close your eyes
You are the light of day, save me don't go away
I will do everything I can to make you stay

You make me wanna go and leave my wicked ways for you
You put a spell on me, I'm helpless, what on earth can I do
I'd give up everything I own if I could only have you
Cause any other girl with grace and charm and style won't do

You take my breath away, Sarah
You take my breath away, Sarah
You take my breath away, Sarah
You take my breath away
Sarah
Sarah
Sarah
Sarah

Don't care how we pass the time when you are by my side
No matter how bad my day, you make it go away
I love the way you say my name and look my way
I wanna tell the world I finally found my girl

You make me wanna go and leave my wicked ways is for you
You put a spell on me, I'm helpless, what on earth can I do
I'd give up everything I own if I could only have you
Cause any other girl with grace and charm and style won't do

You take my breath away, Sarah
You take my breath away, Sarah
You take my breath away, Sarah
You take my breath away
Sarah
Sarah
Sarah
Sarah

You take my breath away, baby
You take my breath away, baby
You take my breath away, baby
You take my breath away, baby
You take my breath away, baby





You take my breath away, baby
You take my breath away, baby

Overall Meaning

In the song "Sarah," The Tyler's lead singer is lamenting about his loneliness. He imagines Sarah sending a raid out to rescue him from his isolation, but he questions if the rescue must come secretly. He wants someone who will tell him the honest truth: that he needs to slow down and not take everything so hard. He's putting himself out there and asking if anyone is waiting for "someone like me."


The chorus tells Sarah not to leave him alone because deep down, he knows he's nothing on his own. He has a fear of being alone, but he's also aware that there is something to it - perhaps growth or self-discovery. He's essentially telling Sarah that he needs her, but he also needs to find himself.


The lyrics of this song are open to interpretation, as many songs are. Some fans think that the song is about the lead singer's wife Sarah, while others believe it's about a friend or a lover. Regardless of the intended meaning, the lyrics are relatable to anyone who has ever felt isolated or in need of a rescue.


Line by Line Meaning

If you sent a raid out, a raid on me
If you try to attack me, make sure it's not just one-sided


Well tell me that it takes two
Let me know that it's not just me against you


To come in secretly
If you want to enter my life, do it truthfully


Take 'em out and end all, end all to be
If we have conflicts, let's resolve them together


Tell me are you waiting for someone like me
Do you really want to have a connection with someone like me?


The honest truth is it is me
To be honest, I'm the one who needs help


Oh Sarah don't you know
Sarah, please understand


That there's something
That being solo has its advantages


There's something to being alone
It's not always bad to be alone


Oh Sarah don't you go
Please don't leave me alone


Cause I'm nothing
I'm not enough by myself


I'm nothing on my own
I need someone else to complete me


Now, you can take it on the road
You can take a different path


You can take it over high
You can aim for success


You could bring it down
You can lower your expectations


To make it on your own
To succeed without anyone else's help


You've been taking it hard
You've been struggling


You should take it slow
You should slow down and not rush things

I like my girls skinny with brains
I like my hoodies fucked with Lame
I like my friends imaginary with no names
And I make music for the fuck of it, no fame
Aim, shoot, the gun of love, round
Tried to find ammo but it's none around town
So I went Down South but I ended up North
Uptown sitting on Cloud 9's white porch
And of course, my car's off course
You're so white, my blinkers don't work
I'm trying to let the force be with you, I get you
Music is my first, but I contemplate divorce
You make a nigga sing songs nice
You make a nigga's night turn day
And you make the flowers sing say turn green yellow
It sucks that I didn't get the chance to say hello
I want to eat you out like jello
And mess with your body like the bass and the cello
And tell your mom I said hello, you want to go to prom? (Nigga hell no)
Fuck (Shit) and another one, there goes another one
Another love song about shit
And I'll be rich if I get another diss
And maybe Cupid won't miss
I like her L-I-K-E, the only difference is she won't fuck with me
But she will fuck with that vegetable with the hairs full of X's and O's
I want to tie her body up and throw her in my basement
Keep her there, so nobody can wonder where her face went
Tyler, what you doing?
Shut the fuck up!
Uh umm
You gon' fuckin' love me bitch
Uhh
Or I'ma fuckin' put this gun in your fuckin' head
But all I really want is a kiss on the cheek
In private, not public in the streets
And your cupcake how we eat and your toes
Cause I got a big fetish with the feet
I just want somebody I can see
You can be a gold digger, you ain't got to love me
I'm serious (I love you) I don't ask for much
Your heart literally is what I do want for lunch
Now this shit is turning to a habit
I'm the burger king, I gotta have it my way
And truthfully girl you really make my day
I would probably kill myself if you told me you was gay
And I can't even look the other way
Your aura is a magnet, my eyes a metal bag, it's attractive
L-O-L laughing, you're a gold Oscar and I'm just actin'
And I want your cinema hole, and have our kids play supporting role
Climbing up the pole, Jack and the Beanstalk, bitch it's gold
And I was in loath, I would never get over you, ever, Sarah
Another love song about shit
And I'll be rich if I get another diss
And maybe Cupid won't miss
Half your body laying on my chest
The rest is in my stomach, that's including your breast
And I'm a just take another guess
Now you probably wishing that you would have said yes
Am I crazy? Maybe, but fucked up is how I been lately
Shit, I don't give a fuck, your family looking for you, wish them good luck
Bitch, you tried to play me like a dummy
Now you stuck up in my mothafucking basement all bloody
And I'm fucking your dead body, your coochie all cummy
Looking in your dead eyes, what the fuck you want from me?
What did you want from me? What did you want from me?

I remember listening to this with my friends in seventh grade when we'd go out and skate everyday after school. Those were simpler days man.

@foreignd852

Ty Riddell I had no friends that openly listened to Tyler the creator. Too much rape and cannibalism

@dnrfrank

I miss those Odd Future sundays, where we'd just skate all day long

@Friedcrust
