When Can I See You Again

Babyface

When can my heart beat again?
When does the pain ever end?
When do the tears stop from running over?
When does "you'll get over it" begin?

I hear what you're sayin'
But I swear that it's not making sense
So when can I see you?

When can I see you again?
When can my heart beat again? Yeah
When can I see you again, babe?
And when can I breathe once again?
And when can I see you?

When does my someday begin, yeah
When I'll find someone again?
And what if I still am not truly over?
What am I supposed to do then, baby?

Please, hear what I'm sayin'
Even if, if it's not making sense
So when can I see you?

When can I see you again, babe? Yeah
When can my heart beat again? Yeah
When can I see you again, babe?
And when can I breathe once again? Ayy
And when can I see you again? Yeah

Yeah, baby

Please hear what I'm sayin'
Even if, if it's not making sense, baby
So when can I see you again?

When can I see you again? Yeah
Can my heart beat again, baby? Yeah
When can I see you again, baby?
And when can I breathe once again? Yeah
And when can I see you, yeah, a-again, 'gain?

Ooh, again, yeah
Ohh, you know, you know
Wanna see you again, yeah, oh
Again

    MrTragedy.. i wonder if you read this correctly.. This song is about a guy who lost his girl and is wondering when is the "someday" that he'll get over her.

    It's about his dead dog, seriously, read the lyrics carefully. He is sad that his dog died and wrote a song about it. Poor doggy!

More Featured Meanings

Album art
Trouble Breathing
Alkaline Trio
While the obvious connections with suicide or alcoholism could be drawn easily, more subtly this song could be about someone who views the world through a negative lens constantly and how as much as the writer tries to show the beauty in the world, this person refuses to see it. It's one or another between the rope and the bottle. There is no good option for this person. They can't see it. Skiba sings it in a kind of exasperated way like He's tired of hearing this negative view constantly and just allowing that person to continue feeling the way they feel knowing he can't do anything about it. You can hear it when he says maybe you're a vampire.

Somewhere Only We Know
Keane
Per the FAQ on Keane's website, Keane's drummer Richard Hughes, stated the following: "We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..." With the nostalgic sentiment and the overall tone of the song, I think Keane is attempting to express a Portuguese term known as 'saudade', which does not have a direct English translation but roughly means "that which we remember because it is gone."

Zombie
Cranberries, The
"Zombie" is about the ethno-political conflict in Ireland. This is obvious if you know anything of the singer (Dolores O'Riordan)'s Irish heritage and understood the "1916" Easter Rising reference. "Another head hangs lowly Child is slowly taken And the violence caused such silence Who are we mistaken - Another mother's breaking Heart is taking over" Laments the Warrington bomb attacks in which two children were fatally injured on March 23rd, 1993. Twelve year old Tim Parry was taken off life support with permission from his mother after five days in the hospital, virtually braindead. "But you see it's not me It's not my family" References how people who are not directly involved with the violence feel about it. They are "zombies" without sympathy who refuse to take action while others suffer.
