Radio
Yahzarah AKA Purple St. James Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't believe this, you don't wanna see me
We lived in love with each other so long
I can't believe this, you don't wanna see me
I don't know how you feel
I can't believe this, you don't wanna see me
I'm sorry, I don't know how you feel
I can't believe this, you don't wanna see me
Just please, more time
I don't know how you feel
I can't believe this, you don't wanna see me

Just please, more time
I'm sorry, I don't know how you feel
I don't know how you feel
It's hard to tell if I don't know how you feel

But in my heart
There's a radio silence going on
But in my heart
There's a radio silence going on
But in my heart
There's a radio silence going on

I can't believe this, you don't wanna see me
There's a radio silence going on
I can't believe this, you don't wanna see me
I don't know how you feel




I'm sorry I don't know how you feel
I don't know how you feel

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Yahzarah's song "Radio" seem to speak to the pain and confusion one can experience when their partner suddenly cuts off communication. The repeated line "I can't believe this, you don't wanna see me" expresses the disbelief and hurt that comes with being shut out by someone who was once close to us. The singer acknowledges that they don't know how the other person feels and apologizes, but there is a sense of desperation as they beg for more time and plead with their partner to open up to them again.


The repetition of the phrase "radio silence" in the chorus creates a powerful image of the lack of communication between the two people. The singer's heart is like a radio that should be receiving signals from the other person, but instead, there is only silence. It's a metaphor for the emotional distance and isolation that the singer feels in this situation.


Overall, the song is a poignant depiction of the pain of a sudden breakup, specifically the frustration and desperation of trying to reach someone who has gone silent. It speaks to the universal experience of trying to understand and connect with another person, even when it seems impossible.
