In this rhythmic and heartfelt confession, AlunaGeorge explores the struggle of unrequited love. The 'drums' serve as a metaphor for the heartbeat or essence of the person she's in love with. Despite her tireless efforts to reach out and connect, her affections remain unreciprocated. She likens her emotional turmoil to 'treading water', reflecting the constant effort and energy required just to stay afloat in this one-sided relationship. There's an undercurrent of hopelessness as she questions whether her lover is 'strong enough' to handle their relationship, suggesting a power imbalance. Yet, there's also resilience in her continuous attempts to connect, showing how deeply she cares. This track beautifully captures the pain of longing for someone who may never reciprocate your feelings.
Your Drums, Your Love
Lyrics
Your drums, we're drumming, your drums
Your drums, we're drumming, your drums
You can't say that I'm going no where
Cause you don't know where I'm coming from
And you can't say that I'm going no where
When I have been trying to reach you for so long
Your drums, we're drumming, your drums
Friends say I've got something wrong,
Cause I've been trying to reach you for so long
For so long, I've tried
To reach you baby, don't you know that
I've been treading water for your love
Whether I sink or swim, it's you I'm thinking of
I've been treading water for your love
As my light grows dim maybe you're not strong enough boy
Your drums, we're drumming, your drums
Your drums, we're drumming, your drums
I can't say where I'm going no where
This feeling goes on and on
I can't say that I'm going somewhere
When I've been failing to reach you for so long
For so long, I've tried
To reach you baby, don't you know that
I've been treading water for your love
Whether I sink or swim, it's you I'm thinking of
I've been treading water for your love
As my light grows dim maybe you're not strong enough boy
Maybe all along (all along)
I've been holding on (holding on)
To the promise that you need some time
Making everything into a story
Making sure I never get to feel happy
Taking everything you do my own way
Thinking that you're begging me please
I've been treading water for your love
Whether I sink or swim, it's you I'm thinking of
I've been treading water for your love
As my light goes dim maybe you're not strong enough boy
Your drums, we're drumming, your drums
Your drums, we're drumming, your drums
