Cravings
VOKES Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm jealous, okay
Is that all you wanted me to say?
Well you win, you win, you win
Still held your way
No matter what I say, you manage to stay
Got these cravings again
All these cravings again
For your love, for your love
Got these cravings again
That don't seem to end
All these cravings again
For your love, for your love
Hey
Still feel the same as all temptations slipped away
Cause I know, I know, I know
Somehow we lost the flame
Yet round and round we go
And still we play the game
Got these cravings again
That don't seem to end
All these cravings again
For your love, for your love
Got these cravings again
That don't seem to end
All these cravings again
For your love, for your love
Wish I knew where you stand
'Cause I had no plan, or should I?
Oh I wish I knew where you stood
Go ahead, [?]
Got these cravings again
That don't seem to end
All these cravings again
For your love, for your love
Got these cravings again
That don't seem to end
All these cravings again
For your love, for your love
The song "Cravings" by VOKES is a heartfelt reflection on the pain and confusion of unrequited love. The singer begins by admitting to their jealousy, expressing a desire to win the object of their affection. However, as they continue to pursue this person, they are plagued by cravings for their love that "don't seem to end." Despite their attempts to move on, the singer finds themselves "round and round" in a painful cycle of desire and rejection.
The chorus of the song captures the intensity of these cravings, repeating the phrase "for your love" over and over again. This repetition creates a sense of desperation, as though the singer is begging for something that they cannot have. The bridge provides a moment of reflection, as the singer wonders if they should have had a plan in the first place. The song ends on a note of uncertainty, with the singer still consumed by their cravings and longing for clarity about the other person's feelings.
Overall, "Cravings" is a powerful and vulnerable exploration of the complexity of love and desire. It demonstrates how difficult it can be to move on from someone we care about deeply, and how our cravings for their affection can consume us.
