Eros
zekke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We didn't have to go through our boundaries
We never said goodbye
But you never told me why you were lying
Breathing in all the times
Memories stick like stains on my feelings
But I never questioned why
Now I'm just thinking maybe we were foolish
Pressed against my lips I taste the kerosene
Whisper in my ear you caught the air I breathe
You got me in too deep
In too deep
So the truth be told
I don't think you know me
Is this all we know?
I don't think that this is love
So the truth be told
I don't think you know me
Is this all we know?
I don't think that this is love
Not with you
Not with you
(Not with you)
Rolling rolling rolling all this fallacy
Pressed against (kerosene)
Whisper in my ear you caught the air I breathe
You got me
The lyrics to zekke's song éros portray a sense of confusion and regret in a past romantic relationship. The first stanza talks about how the relationship seemed easy and boundaryless, yet the singer never truly understood why the other person lied. Memories of the relationship linger, but now the singer is questioning the past and thinking that perhaps they were foolish for being in the relationship. The second stanza talks about how the other person has gotten the singer in too deep and how they don't feel like they know each other well enough for this to be love.
The chorus repeats the idea that the truth needs to be told and that the singer doesn't think the other person truly knows them. They question if this is really all they know, and if this relationship is truly love. The repetition of "not with you" at the end emphasizes the idea that the relationship is not working and the singer does not wish to continue it.
Overall, the lyrics of éros convey the complexity and confusion of a romantic relationship that has lost its spark and has left the singer feeling lost and uncertain.
