questions
my favorite band Lyrics

The lyrics to "Questions" by my favorite band seem to be about a relationship where one person is struggling with their emotions and the other person is trying their best to be supportive. The first couple of lines set the tone of the song, with the singer noticing the sparkle in their partner's eyes and feeling glad that they are together. However, it becomes clear that something is troubling the partner, as they turn away and start to cry. The main crux of the song revolves around the partner asking questions that leave the singer feeling helpless and unsure of how to respond. The repeated refrain of "You always ask these questions, and I never know what to say" emphasizes the difficulties that can arise in communicating with someone who is struggling.

The chorus and the verses depict two different emotions. In the verses, the singer seems to be genuinely concerned and empathetic, wishing there was something they could do to help their partner. On the other hand, the chorus seems to reflect the singer's own feelings of insecurity and frustration in not knowing how to respond to their partner's questions. The song uses simple metaphors to describe their feelings: the singer feels bad when their partner looks sad and they feel glad when their partner's eyes sparkle. Despite their happiness to be together, the singer is aware that their partner is struggling and they do not have the answers to the questions they're asking.
