Suffocation
White Ring Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bad Is Beautiful
Jeune Fille In A White Sundress
Whatever it takes to get inside your heart
Someone will, i hope it's me
Whatever it takes to get beneath your skin
Someone will, i hope it's me
And the sun on my face
Jeune fille in a white sundress
Late afternoon i watch the waves roll in
Soft and slow against the beach
I watch you walk down the wooden steps
Sky grey eyes smile at me
And when i talk with her
I can't understand a word
She says so sweetly
But i don't care
Because i have such a crush on her
It feels as if she fell from heaven
Midnight in the restaurant
Ocean breeze, crescent moon
A song is playing on the radio
"ma cherie amour" - i think of you
And someday i'll walk
With the sun in my face
And jeune fille in a white sundress
White Ring's song "Suffocation" paints a picture of a love that is intense and all-consuming. The lyrics express a desire to connect with someone in a deep way, to get inside their heart and beneath their skin. The singer is describing a crush on a girl, a "jeune fille in a white sundress," who he watches walk down the beach with sand on his feet and the sun on his face. The object of his affection is described as having sky gray eyes and a sweet voice, but despite not understanding her words, he still has strong feelings for her.
The middle section of the song takes place at a restaurant with a midnight sky and a "crescent moon" illuminating the scene. The radio is playing "Ma Cherie Amour," and the singer thinks of his crush. The song ends with a hopeful note as the singer dreams of walking with the sun in his face and the same "jeune fille in a white sundress."
The imagery in this song is vivid and romantic, and the tone is bittersweet. The chorus repeating "whatever it takes to get inside your heart, someone will, I hope it's me" sets the scene for a protagonist deeply in love but unsure if these feelings are reciprocated.

Whatever it takes to get inside your heart
I'll do whatever it takes to win your affections
Someone will, i hope it's me
I hope I'm the one you fall for
Whatever it takes to get beneath your skin
I'm willing to go deeper to truly understand you
The sand on my feet
I'm on the beach and enjoying the feeling of the sand between my toes
And the sun on my face
The sunshine is hitting my face and making me feel good
Jeune fille in a white sundress
There's a young woman nearby wearing a white sundress
Late afternoon i watch the waves roll in
It's getting later in the day and I'm watching the waves come in
Soft and slow against the beach
The waves are gently and slowly crashing onto the shore
I watch you walk down the wooden steps
I see you walking down the steps towards the beach
Sky grey eyes smile at me
Your grey eyes are looking at me and you're smiling
And when i talk with her
When I talk to her
I can't understand a word
I don't really comprehend what she's saying
She says so sweetly
She talks in a really sweet way
But i don't care
But it doesn't really matter to me
Because i have such a crush on her
I have a really big crush on her
It feels as if she fell from heaven
I feel like she's perfect and came from above
Midnight in the restaurant
It's midnight and I'm in a restaurant
Ocean breeze, crescent moon
There's an ocean breeze and a crescent moon outside
A song is playing on the radio
A song is playing on the radio
"ma cherie amour" - i think of you
The song "ma cherie amour" is playing and I think of you
And someday i'll walk
Someday I'll walk
With the sun in my face
The sun will be shining on my face
And jeune fille in a white sundress
And the young woman in the white sundress will be with me

AMONG THE DREAMS
WE CRAWL TOO FAR
WE STRETCH SO LONG
ARMS WON'T LAST
FALL + FADE
FORGET THE PAST
I TRIED TO TELL YOU
I TRIED TO SAY
BUT NOW YOU'RE GONE
FADE AWAY
I TRIED TO TELL YOU
SUFFOCATE
BUT NOW YOU'RE GONE
FADE AWAY

Thank you for the lyrics. This song has a strange effect on me. Makes me think of someone I once knew and once was. It makes me cry.

Beautiful song.
Thank you for taking the time to post the lyrics for everybody.
I'm not really into this type of music but I really like this group. Their beats are incredible. I made beats so I have an appreciation for great beats.
