I See You
Trevor Lissauer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So here I go and out your door
I'm searching the world for something more
Than just a voice that just says no and keeps me down
Glued to the top of the ground
I'm waiting for a little relief from all of this
What makes you think I need you around
You made it clear when you left here and turned to ice
Reminding me I ought to think twice
I'm thinking it's time I take my own advice
CHORUS:
But you know what it does
And it's all because
I see you
I see you
You got some news oh hooray
What's so different about today
Have all of your demons flown away
Leaving a grin
Thinking that your life will begin
By pushing all of your dreams on top of him
CHORUS:
But you know what it does
And it's all because
I see you
I see you
Is this really the end
Is it finally today
Cause I believed every word
I imagined you say
And I see you
I see you
I see you
I see you
I see you
I see you
So here I go and out your door
I'm searching the world for something more
Than just a voice that just says no and keeps down
Glued to the top of the ground
I'm waiting for a little relief from all of this
The song "I See You" by Trevor Lissauer is a bittersweet break-up song. The lyrics express the frustration and disappointment of a person who is trying to move on from a relationship that has ended badly. The singer is struggling to find something more than just a negative voice that brings them down. The song opens with the singer leaving their door in search of a better life, but they can't seem to shake off the pain and hurt that lingers from their past relationship. They are waiting for a little relief from all of it.
The chorus emphasizes that the person's misery is mainly due to seeing their ex-partner around, or in their life in general – seeing them with someone else, for example. The singer is hung up on the memory of their ex and the pain they've caused, even if the ex has moved on.
The second verse takes a more personal turn as the singer addresses their ex directly. They no longer want to listen to the negativity and the hurtful things the ex has said. They express a desire to take their own advice and to move on, but they can't seem to do that while their ex is still in their life.
Overall, the song "I See You" speaks to the struggles of letting go of past relationships and the pain that comes with it. It's a relatable song that many listeners can connect to, and the haunting melody of the chorus adds to the melancholy feeling of the song.
