Emotion

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We can catch up for coffee
And talk about his accent
I'll pretend that I'm fine
But I can't pretend we never met

You'll bring up the distance
How I'm always on my phone
You'll say you lost your patience
How you're better on your own

But you've always been good at that
But you've always been good at that

All I wanted
Was a little emotion
All I wanted
Was a little emotion
Keep rolling your eyes
Your words stuck inside
Behind your teeth
Your feelings can't hide
All I wanted
Was a little emotion

It used to be magic
Now there's bullshit and sadness
I know that I lied
You still insist I never tried

But you've always been good at that
But you've always been good at that

All I wanted
Was a little emotion
All I wanted
Was a little emotion
Keep rolling your eyes
Your words stuck inside
Behind your teeth
Your feelings can't hide
All I wanted
Was a little emotion

All I wanted
Was a little emotion
All I wanted
Was a little emotion
Keep rolling your eyes
Your words stuck inside
Behind your teeth
Your feelings can't hide




All I wanted
Was a little emotion

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of lovelytheband's song "emotion" talk about the familiar situation of two ex-lovers meeting and trying to catch up with each other. The singer suggests meeting up for coffee, but acknowledges that he cannot pretend that they never met before. As they talk, his ex-lover brings up the distance between them, how he is always on his phone, how he lost his patience, and how he chooses to be better on his own. Despite her criticisms, she has always been good at keeping her emotions hidden.


The singer then reflects on their past, noting that it used to be magical, but now it is filled with bullshit and sadness. He admits that he lied in the past and that his ex-lover still insists that he never tried. However, he acknowledges that she has always been good at keeping her emotions hidden. The song's chorus emphasizes that all he wanted was a little emotion from her, but he can see that she keeps rolling her eyes and keeping her words stuck inside behind her teeth.


Overall, the song conveys the pain of trying to reconnect with a former lover who appears to have moved on emotionally. It speaks to the emotional distance that can exist between two people who were once close and highlights the importance of being open and vulnerable with one's emotions.


Line by Line Meaning

We can catch up for coffee
Let's meet in person and have a conversation


And talk about his accent
Discussing irrelevant details to avoid the real issues


I'll pretend that I'm fine
Hiding my true feelings and acting like everything is okay


But I can't pretend we never met
The relationship we had cannot be erased


You'll bring up the distance
Pointing out the physical separation between us


How I'm always on my phone
Accusing me of not paying attention to the relationship


You'll say you lost your patience
Admitting to running out of tolerance for the relationship


How you're better on your own
Implying that being alone is preferable to being in this relationship


But you've always been good at that
You have a history of avoiding emotional discussions


All I wanted
My simple request in this relationship


Was a little emotion
Is for you to show some emotional investment in our relationship


Keep rolling your eyes
You are unwilling to engage in real conversation


Your words stuck inside
You are not being truthful about your feelings


Behind your teeth
You are choosing to remain quiet instead of being honest


Your feelings can't hide
Your emotions are still apparent despite your refusal to discuss them


It used to be magic
Our relationship used to be exciting and special


Now there's bullshit and sadness
Now, the relationship is filled with lies and negative emotions


I know that I lied
I have not been truthful in our relationship


You still insist I never tried
You believe that I have not put effort into our relationship


All I wanted
My simple, repeated request in this relationship


Was a little emotion
For you to demonstrate some emotional care and investment in our relationship


Keep rolling your eyes
You still refuse to engage in honest conversation


Your words stuck inside
You continue to hold back your true feelings


Behind your teeth
You still choose not to say anything


Your feelings can't hide
But your true emotions cannot be completely hidden


All I wanted
My ultimate, repeated request in this relationship


Was a little emotion
For you to simply show some level of genuine emotion and connection
