Sway
cehryl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make me sway
With your arms
With your rhythm
Let us dance
In the rain
In the war
I see in it your eyes
You're thrillerd, adrenalized
But little little do you know
What's on my mind
Year after year
After tear after taer
You're forgiven
All hurt is erased
And replaced with friction
Now is this masquerade
Let's drink so i can say
That every little thing you do
Still make me smile
The lyrics of cehryl's song "Sway" evoke a strong sense of intimacy and vulnerability, as the singer implores their lover to make them feel alive with their touch and their music. The refrain "Make me swoon, make me sway with your arms, with your rhythm" captures the physical and emotional power that a partner can have over us, inviting us to lose ourselves in the moment and experience a kind of blissful surrender. The specific imagery of dancing "in the rain, in the war, in the prison" suggests a desire to find joy and connection even in difficult or constrained circumstances, perhaps referencing the challenges that the couple has faced together.
As the song progresses, the singer hints at some deeper emotional turmoil that they are grappling with. They note that their partner seems "thrilled, adrenalized" by their connection, but "little little do you know what's on my mind." It's not entirely clear what this means, but it suggests that the singer is struggling with some kind of secret or unspoken doubt or pain, even as they revel in their physical and emotional closeness. The line "Year after year, after tear after tear / You're forgiven, all hurt is erased and replaced with friction" implies a long history between the couple, with both joy and struggle, and suggests that despite everything they've been through, they remain drawn to each other.

i see it in your eyes
you’re thrilled, adrenalized
but little little do you know
what’s on my mind
year after year
after tear after tear
you’re forgiven
all the hurt is erased
and replaced with our friction
now in this masquerade
let’s drink so i can say

*let us pour, let us pretend
that we just need each other
what a waste to remove my waist from you
let us sway, so i forget
that you don’t remember
all the ways that your moves could make me blue.
let me go
let me stay
let me live in oblivion
i’m reminded for a strange sober minute that we shouldn’t
but in this masquerade
i’ll let my heart persuade me
that friction - like this - is hard to find
*let us pour, let us pretend
that we just need each other
what a waste to remove my waist from you
let us sway, so i forget
that you don’t remember
all the ways that your moves could make me blue.
