Tightrope
Zayn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why you wanna see how far I fall?
'Cause I'm already up here and I got my eyes closed
And I ain't ever fell from a love this tall
Are you ready? 'Cause I'm ready to let go
Never thought that I'd be ready again
Guess it's somethin' 'bout the neon red glow
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Sitting with my legs across your torso
We are who we are when we're alone
Baby, I'm ready, any minute we might fall
Lately, I feel like my grip is gone
But you got my arm
Are you ready? 'Cause I'm ready to let go
Never thought that I'd be ready again
Guess it's somethin' 'bout the neon red glow
Got me thinking 'bout giving all in
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Chaudhvin Ka Chand ho
Ya Aaftaab Ho
Jo Bhi Ho Tum Khuda Ki
Kasam Lajawab Ho
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Chaudhvin Ka Chand ho
Ya Aaftaab Ho
Jo Bhi Ho Tum Khuda Ki
Kasam Lajawab Ho
In "Tightrope," Zayn describes the precarious state of being in love, comparing it to walking a tightrope. He questions why his partner would want to see him fall, when he's already up high and has closed his eyes, suggesting that he's all in and doesn't want to fall out of love. He admits that he's ready to let go of his fears and doubts and give into the strong feelings he has, conveyed through the lyrics "Guess it's somethin' 'bout the neon red glow, got me thinking 'bout giving all in." The chorus repeats the phrase "Something told me it was you," emphasizing that he's convinced that his current partner is the right one for him.
Line by Line Meaning
Why's it gotta feel like I'm walking a tightrope?
Why does love always feel like a risky balancing act where one wrong move could lead to a catastrophic fall?
Why you wanna see how far I fall?
Why do some people take pleasure in watching others fail and get hurt?
'Cause I'm already up here and I got my eyes closed
I have already taken a leap of faith and put myself in a vulnerable position, trusting my instincts and my heart, even if it means ignoring the reality of the danger.
And I ain't ever fell from a love this tall
I have never experienced such intense feelings of love that have taken me to such heights, making me feel like a champion, but also making me feel the pressure to maintain that level of excellence.
Are you ready? 'Cause I'm ready to let go
Are you willing to take the same risk I am, to surrender yourself to this love without holding back, without fear, without regret?
Never thought that I'd be ready again
I had given up on love after being hurt in the past, but now I feel like I have rediscovered my courage and my hope for a better future.
Guess it's somethin' 'bout the neon red glow
Maybe it's the excitement of the moment, the adrenaline rush, the prospect of doing something daring and memorable that makes me want to seize the day and the night.
Got me thinking 'bout giving all in
I am tempted to go all in, to give my heart and soul to this love, even if it means taking a risk, even if it means sacrificing my pride or my freedom.
Something told me it was you
I have a hunch, an intuition, a sixth sense that tells me that you are the one I have been waiting for, the missing piece in my puzzle of life.
Sitting with my legs across your torso
I am in a physical, intimate position with you, feeling your warmth and your heartbeat, feeling safe and comfortable in your arms.
We are who we are when we're alone
We can be our true selves, our vulnerable, flawed, beautiful selves, without any mask or pretense, without any judgment or shame.
Baby, I'm ready, any minute we might fall
Even though I am scared and uncertain, I am also excited and curious to see where this love will take us, knowing that every moment is precious and every step is a risk.
Lately, I feel like my grip is gone
I am losing my confidence, my sense of control, my ability to hold on to this love, feeling like I am slipping away, like I am failing to keep my balance.
But you got my arm
You are my anchor, my support, my lifeline, helping me stay afloat and not giving up on us, even when the going gets tough.
Chaudhvin Ka Chand ho
You are like the full moon of the 14th day of the lunar month, a symbol of beauty, grace, and romance.
Ya Aaftaab Ho
You are like the sun, a source of light, warmth, and vitality, illuminating my life and giving me hope for a brighter future.
Jo Bhi Ho Tum Khuda Ki Kasam Lajawab Ho
Whatever you are, whoever you are, you are amazing, incredible, divine, beyond words, beyond imagination, beyond belief.

Why's it gotta feel like I'm walkin' a tightrope?
Why you wanna see how far I fall?
'Cause I'm already up here and I got my eyes closed
And I ain't never fell from a love this tall
Are you ready? 'Cause I'm ready to let go
Never thought that I'd be ready again
Guess there's somethin' 'bout the neon and red glow
Got me thinkin' 'bout givin' all in
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Sittin' with my legs across your torso
We are who we are when we're alone
Baby, I'm ready, any minute we might fall
Lately, I feel like my grip is gone
But you got my all
Are you ready? 'Cause I'm ready to let go
Never thought that I'd be ready again
Guess there's somethin' 'bout the neon and red glow
Got me thinkin' 'bout givin' all in
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you

Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
چودھویں کا چاند ہو، یا آفتاب ہو؟

Incase you were wondering what the Hindi part means-
"Chaudvi ka chand ho
Ya aftaab ho
Jo bhi ho tum khuda ki kasam lajawab ho"
"Are you the beautiful full moon
Or the dazzling Sun
Whatever you might be I swear to god
you are beyond compare"

EVERY ZQUAD TO ZAYN:
"Chaudhvin Ka Chand ho
Ya Aaftaab Ho
Jo Bhi Ho Tum Khuda Ki
Kasam Lajawab Ho"
English translation:
Are you the full moon,
Or the dazzling sun?
Whatever you may be, I swear..
You are beyond compare ♡
YESS OUR ZAYN IS BEYOND COMPARE😭😭♥️
@valeskacanas9187
Lol I disagree with your "opinion".
Are you Yolanda on a burner youtube account? It's something she would say because she values superficial fame and money above all else and because Zayn stood up ti her and refuses paparazzi and her pitch of reality tv for zayn khai and Hadids.
I think being ok of one's introversion, playing to those strengths taking time of and being kind and nurturing to one's mental health is actually saving up potential in an intelligent, healthy and smart way...it's not a commercial way but a different way.
In my opinion he's an example of not selling your potential short greedily for fame fortune, not selling potential cheaply at the expense of one's own values, beliefs, health and children.
I love that you wrote your rather negative "opinion " under video for one Zayns most melodically, lyrically beautiful songs. The potential of which would not have been realised because he included a reference Urdu/ Hindi Bollywood influences and lyrics ... he would not have been allowed that not in the record label commercially viable world.
Zayns been fighting against the powerful music industry to continue growing and showcasing his potential since the x-factor days.
Music listeners today are me me me! take take take! Now now now! But Zayns taking it back to reciprocity between music consumer and music creator, taking it at a good steady pace and truly valuing the time not in speed of mass production (like 1D manufacturered days) but in genuine growth and love of the craft.
@spoofingistan
#FunFact: "Chaudvin Ka Chand ho" Is old classic song by Mohammed Rafi , and that Urdu verse is taken from the same song.
Meaning of those words is.
Urdu:
"Chaudhvin ka chand ho, ya aaftaab ho
Jo bhi ho tum Khuda ki kasam, laajawab ho"
English:
"Are you the full moon, or the sun?
Whatever you are, I swear to God, you are beyond compare!"
