Y. Hayat Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Such an old feeling's coming over me
Such an unwelcome type of disability
Stripped down my defenses so scantily
At a time when everybody's armed with lack of sensitivity
I came here to run away from my past
But I'd like to see if she's still capable of suffering
Maybe it would kill me if her reasons for revenge were not so asinine
I need a counter attack, 'cause right now I'm only hovering

Let's make a pact and never turn back
I think you've got the tools for the mission
We've all got battles to fight, what does it take to build a war machine?
But don't try to batter down my
Defenses if you're on my team

Don't tell me that you love me more than she did
Don't try to touch what's pounding in my chest
I'll give you something to satisfy
And then we'll get some rest

Maybe I'm cursed with the gift of being observant
Some call it a self-destructive kind of power
Snapchat is the only informant, I can tell whenever she's with him
'Cause I've memorized the interior of his car
If I could go back home for a day
I'd wash away this rigmarole like the grease off a fork
Why are my rivals never in the frame? She accosts me with omission, something's rotten in the state of New York

Let's make a pact and never turn back
I think you've got the tools for the mission
We've all got battles to fight, what does it take to build a war machine?
But don't try to batter down my
Defenses if you're on my team

And every man that she woos makes just another mess
I'm hiding far away while those gorillas fight to death
Rule 1 for surviving: Never blow up your spot, just let the little bombshell tick tock
You should see how I pace this hotel room in just my underwear, making a case against the loneliness continuum
If I'm just a few inches away from a spare tire, am I really cruising down
The road to equilibrium?

Let's make a pact and never turn back
I think you've got the tools for the mission
We've all got battles to fight, what does it take to build a war machine?

But don't try to batter down my
Defenses if you're on my team

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Y. Hayat/F. Cuitad/Y.Hayat's song The Force depict the singer's struggles in dealing with their past and confronting their present. The song begins with the singer feeling overwhelmed with an old emotion that resurfaces, causing them to feel vulnerable and defensive. They are in a state of emotional pain and seek to escape their past, but find themselves still drawn to their old wounds. They are also aware of the insensitivity of those around them, who they feel lack the ability to understand and empathize.

The singer's primary focus is on their emotional state and their desire to protect themselves. They seek a counter-attack and the help of someone they trust to build up their defenses. However, the singer also realizes that sometimes, it is necessary to let down their guard to build trust and connect with others. They acknowledge their fear of being hurt again, but they are willing to take a chance and enter into a pact with someone who they believe is trustworthy.

The song also explores themes of jealousy and surveillance, with the singer feeling cursed with the gift of being observant. They are constantly comparing themselves to others and feeling threatened by those who they perceive as rivals. The song ends with the singer questioning whether they are truly on the road to equilibrium or if they are still stuck in a cycle of loneliness and pain.
