Voom Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know how I feel
And you know what I think
I really want to be with you
And I hope you do believe me

But if you don′t
Don't worry
I still carry on

I still carry on
Feeling these feelings that I feel

When you went to Australia
I promised I would come over
What excuse did I give?
I just hope that you′ll forgive me

'Cause if you do
Don't worry
I still carry on
I still carry on
Feeling these feelings that I feel

They still feel strong
They still feel strong
They still feel strong
They still feel strong

They still feel strong
They still feel strong

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Voom's song "Beth" are about unrequited love and unreturned feelings. The singer is confessing their love to someone and hoping that they will reciprocate, but acknowledges that if they don't, they will continue to have these feelings and carry on with their life. The repetition of "Don't worry, I still carry on" shows that the singer is not giving up on the person they love, but is also not putting pressure on them to return their feelings.

The second verse refers to a missed opportunity to visit the person in Australia, and the singer is hoping that they will be forgiven for not following through on their promise. This highlights the theme of missed chances and regret in the song.

Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of longing and vulnerability, as well as the resilience of the human spirit in the face of rejection.
