UMI Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh (oh-oh)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Sometimes I wonder
Wonder if you wanna leave
If told yaAll the things you didn't see
Am I wrong?
For thinkin' that we met way too soon
But sometimes it hurts
And I don't fight first
I don't want anything that ever mattered
To be caught up in your shadow, baby
Tears on my shirt
'Cause I loved you at your worst
Look into my eyes
Let me know you listen
'Cause you never listenin'
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah
Dancin' across this moonlit room
Thinkin' bout you way too soon
I'm in love with the wrong things that you do (do)
Makin' my way back, back to you (you) ooh
Sometimes it seems like
Every day
You and I got the same things that we workin' on
Goin' through
When highs turn low
And the sky hits the floor
I keep comin' back
'Cause maybe I
Just like the way
That sometimes it hurts
And I don't fight first
I don't want anything that ever mattered
To be caught up in your shadow, baby
Tears on my shirt
'Cause I loved you at your worst
Look into my eyes
Let me know you listen
'Cause you never listenin'
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah
Dancin' across this moonlit room
Thinkin' about you way too soon
I'm in love with the wrong things that you do (do)
Makin' my way back, back to you (you) ooh
When I give you better
Than you ever had it, you run
See you took the pleasure
And I took the pain, made me numb
Dancin' across this moonlit room
Thinkin' about you way too soon (thinkin' about you)
I'm in love with the wrong things that you do (you do)
Makin' my way back back to you, you (ooh)
(Thinkin' about you)
I'm dancin' across this moonlit room
Dancin' across this moonlit room
Dancin' across this moonlit room
Dancin across this moonlit room
The song “Moonlit Room” by UMI begins with the singer expressing her doubt about her relationship. She wonders if her partner wants to leave her and if he has noticed all the things she has been trying to show him. She questions herself and whether it’s wrong for her to think that she met him way too soon. However, the singer admits that she does not fight first and she does not want anything they shared to be caught up in his shadow.
The pre-chorus and chorus reveal that the two have had ups and downs in their relationship. At times it seems like they have the same goals and are on track, but other times they hurt each other. The singer loved her partner at his worst and has tears on her shirt to show for it. She looks deep into his eyes to make him listen but feels like he never does. Despite everything, the singer admits that she likes the way things are and keeps coming back.
The song uses the metaphor of a moonlit room to symbolize the couple’s relationship. The moon and the atmosphere in the room serve as a setting for the dance they share, representing their ups and downs. The song tries to capture the complexity in every relationship, how sometimes it can be difficult to let go, even when it hurts.
Line by Line Meaning
Sometimes I wonder
At times, I ponder
Wonder if you wanna leave
Contemplate if you plan to go away
If told ya
If I informed you
All the things you didn't see
About everything you missed
Am I wrong?
I am curious if I erred
For thinkin' that we met way too soon
In believing we encountered each other prematurely
But sometimes it hurts
On few occasions, it is painful
And I don't fight first
I prefer not to initiate conflicts
I don't want anything that ever mattered
I do not desire anything valuable
To be caught up in your shadow, baby
To be overshadowed by you
Tears on my shirt
I have tears on my clothing
'Cause I loved you at your worst
Because I cared for you when you were at your worst
Look into my eyes
Gaze into my eyes
Let me know you listen
Inform me that you are attentive
'Cause you never listenin'
Since you never pay attention
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah
Vocalization of emotion
Dancin' across this moonlit room
Dancing in this dimly lit space
Thinkin' bout you way too soon
Thinking about you prematurely
I'm in love with the wrong things that you do (do)
I have affection for your negative actions
Makin' my way back, back to you (you) ooh
Returning to you
Sometimes it seems like
On certain occasions, it appears
Every day
Each day
You and I got the same things that we workin' on
We are working on similar things
Goin' through
Enduring
Reason why I'm so stuck with you
The cause of why I am attached to you
When highs turn low
When good times become bad
And the sky hits the floor
When the sky seems to fall
I keep comin' back
I continue to return
'Cause maybe I
Perhaps I
Just like the way
Enjoy the way
When I give you better
When I provide you with the best
Than you ever had it, you run
You choose to leave
See you took the pleasure
You took what was enjoyable
And I took the pain, made me numb
And I endured the suffering, numbing me
Dancin' across this moonlit room
Dancing in this dimly lit space
Thinkin' about you way too soon (thinkin' about you)
Thinking about you prematurely
I'm in love with the wrong things that you do (you do)
I have affection for your negative actions
Makin' my way back back to you, you (ooh)
Returning to you
Dancin' across this moonlit room
Dancing in this dimly lit space
Dancin' across this moonlit room
Dancing in this dimly lit space
Dancin' across this moonlit room
Dancing in this dimly lit space
Dancin across this moonlit room
Dancing in this dimly lit space

@DearMoonchild
I still remember the first time I told my google mini home to play random songs and Remember Me came up. Ever since then, Umi became my favorite artist. I knew I couldn’t miss this opportunity to see her in person and bought her ticket right away. For sure, I would’ve regretted it for the rest of my life. Now, I can’t wait to see her perform these new, beautiful songs with her amazing, old ones.
