Look for Me (I'll Be Around) Lyrics
This is the most beautiful song. I can't believe the gorgeousness of Neko's voice here.
this is the kind of song that you sing on a stage with nothing but a piano accompanyment and a spotlight in a smoky lounge,this song is soooo smoky.
It's about groupie stalkerdom. It's from the perspective of the obsessive fan who worships the performer and fantasizes that some day they will have an actual personal relationship with them.
it can be interpreted a lot of ways but to me its about a partner who has left due to their relationship becoming stale and boring and seeking some excitement. This song i written from the prespective of the jilted one who's saying when you've had your fun and games i'll still be here waiting. +
I think she's saying "I've a notion my devotion you will need...", not "I'm an ocean..." Hee!
It's definitely "I've a notion"
beautiful song.
and lol, milanks, your interpretation reminds me of Fiona Apple's "I Know" which is about just that.
I saw her perform this live in 2009, I think, and as an introduction she said, "this is a song about desperation". Someone in the audience shouted back, "aren't they all?" to which she chuckled and said, "yeah, I guess they are." she was amazing! <3
