Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are you gonna hide are you gonna burn
Gonna answer me?
Let me take your heart
Love you in the dark
No one has to see
I, I, I want more, I want more
I, I, I want more, I want more

Oh, you seek yourself in another way
I try my best but I don't ever change
Oh, I love to watch your body lie
Makes me feel better, makes me satisfied
And oh oh, you could bring it back
Who wouldn't want it when he looks like that?
Oh oh, I want you to stay
And if I try my hardest, would you look my way?

Are you gonna hurt are you gonna burn
Gonna answer me?
Let me take your heart
Love you in the dark,
No one has to see
I, I, I want more, I want more
I, I, I want more, I want more

No oh oh, you could bring it back
Who wouldn't want it when he looks like that?
Oh oh, I want you to stay
And if I try my hardest, would you look my way?

Oh, are you gonna hurt are you gonna burn
Gonna answer me?
Let me take your heart love you in the dark
No one has to see

I, I, I want more, I want more
I, I, I want more, I want more

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Years & Years/Musicfire.in's song, Memo, seem to be about a complicated relationship in which the two individuals involved are struggling to connect with each other. The first verse seems to suggest that one person is hesitant to open up, to show vulnerability or to take a risk, whereas the other person is willing to be there for them, to take care of them and to be intimate with them. The chorus repeats the line "I want more" several times, which can be interpreted in different ways. It could be a simple desire for a deeper connection and more love, or it could be a more complex longing for something that is unattainable.

The second verse seems to focus more on the attraction between the two individuals and how they use each other to satisfy their own needs. The line "Makes me feel better, makes me satisfied" suggests that the relationship is not entirely selfless and that there are ulterior motives at play. However, the desire for the other person is still present, as evidenced by the lines "And oh oh, you could bring it back/Who wouldn't want it when he looks like that?"

Overall, the song seems to be about the push and pull of a relationship in which both parties want more but are struggling to connect with each other. There is a sense of frustration and longing, as well as a hint of selfishness and unhealthy behavior.
