Sweet Potato Lyrics

Cover art for Sweet Potato lyrics by Sia

Okay, I think the first few verses are about two different people in different relationships, but both going through similar situations in their respective ones. "You" is the object of their relationships, the ones they are trying desperately to please and understand and build a deep bond with, but to no avail.

The fifth verse looks like advice to the "you"s to help the relationships progress along the paths that the subjects (he/she) want. The sixth verse is the penultimate frustration of the subjects in their respective relationships. They both desire a deep emotional connection and have been trying to get there for so long but their partners are not as into them, or not looking for the same thing, or are just plain clueless.

So during their detrimental relationships, I guess they've had similar schedules at the train station. She's seen him for a while, waiting with chocolate bars for his partner, etc. As fate would have it, they've both recently had the courage to leave their seemingly identical strained pasts, and meet each other. And well, this song strongly implies that they're made for each other, so there's that.

I sincerely hope that you can find the actual meaning of the song. I have my theory on it, I'd like to know yours....there's a good chance that it will match.

P.S. My interpretation of that song does not match with the video for that song.

Hope to see you soon. Its nice to know...

@zilac I am back 10 years later jut to say thank you again. I'll always remember your words!
