Watch
te´ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that he turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
Someone who'll watch over me
Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me
The song "Watch" by French artist Tei Shi is a melancholic ballad that talks about a person's quest for love and companionship. The opening lines "There's a saying old says that love is blind, still were often told, seek and ye shall find" suggest that even though love is viewed as a blind emotion, people still actively search for it. The singer in the song is searching for a man who she had in mind but has been unable to find. She describes him as the "big affair I cannot forget" and she is the "lost lamb" looking for the "shepherd."
The chorus "There's a somebody I'm longing to see, I hope that he turns out to be someone who'll watch over me" is a powerful statement of vulnerability and the need for security. The singer is aware that she needs someone to look after her and keep her safe. Even though the man she seeks may not fit society's conventional beauty standards, he has the key to her heart.
Furthermore, the lyrics "Although he may not be the man some girls think of as handsome, to my heart, he carries the key," emphasizes that love is not just about physical attraction but a connection between two people. The song's overall theme is hopeful, as the singer believes that by following her lead, she will find someone who will watch over her.
