| The Black Keys – Too Afraid to Love You Lyrics | 14 years ago |

Can't believe this song only has 4 comments... It's wrecking me right now. I never even saw the other interpretations (even though they're similar). They make sense, but to me, it's about a guy that can't commit to a girl he really likes. They are (or have been) in a relationship and he is (or has been) on the edge of falling for her, but can't quite do it. He doesn't go into "why" (we all have our own reasons; and I don't understand any of them =) ) but he just can't do it. I'm currently in this exact situation. I can come up with reasons for "why", but none of them stick. This song is him going nuts over the fact that he feels so alone without her, but can't just fall in love with her and forget all his fears. In light of that, he feels like he'll always be alone because if he can't figure things out with a girl like her, what chance will he ever have? He's stuck and doesn't see a way out and that's tiring him out on a profound level. That's what it means to me, probably because I'm projecting my own situation. I practially hear this song in my head when I'm in my worse moods. |

Brilliant song, very nice metaphors. I completely agree with lornesd's interpretation. The thing I wanted to bring up is how he finishes with "It's all right now," which to me is a version of the "seize the moment" thing. The really cool thing is that if you're not paying attention, you'll hear it as "it's alright now," which, to mean, would mean that everything is ok and you can just accept your situation... Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but that's just amazing to me. |

I think the lyrics are wrong. I hear: I see the colour in your eyes I see the images I own I see more colour in your eyes Than the reflections from/of earth or sky Killer song |
