Sway
galdive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't you see, I want to know why
Your mind is rewinding
Too tangled up in space
So why don't you slow down
Strips all your thoughts with me
Keep moving in my way
If you don't wanna stay
At least we can just sway
So why don't we just sway
Keep moving in my way
If you don't wanna stay
At least we can just sway
Can't you see, I just wanna know how
Why you keep staring at the walls
I'm wondering where your mind go
Cause all I see is
Your mind is rewinding
Too tangled up in space
So why don't you slow down
Strips all your thoughts with me
So why don't we just sway
Keep moving in my way
If you don't wanna stay
At least we can just sway
So why don't we just sway
Keep moving in my way
If you don't wanna stay
At least we can just sway
The song "Sway" by galdive is a plea for connection and understanding between two people. The singer wants the other person to see them and understand what they are feeling. The repeated line "look at me, just look at my eyes" emphasizes this desire for connection, as if the singer is saying "if only you could see into me, you would understand."
The second verse suggests that the other person is distracted or unavailable emotionally - their mind is "rewinding" and tangled up in space. But the singer doesn't want to give up on this connection - they suggest "why don't you slow down, strip all your thoughts with me." The phrase "strip all your thoughts with me" is intriguing and suggestive, perhaps implying intimacy or vulnerability.
The chorus is a plea to keep moving together - even if the other person doesn't want to stay, they can at least "just sway." The word "sway" has its own connotation of movement and intimacy - it's a gentle, rhythmic motion. Taken together, the song is a request for someone to see the singer, to slow down and be present with them, and to keep moving forward in their connection even if it's not clear where they're going.
