The meaning of the lyrics of the song "In Demand" by the artist "Texas"

Contents

The song "In Demand" by Texas portrays a woman moving on from a breakup and realizing her self-worth after a relationship with an inattentive partner. The lyrical heroine reminisces about how intensely she felt for him ("it blew my mind"), yet he didn't seem to reciprocate her feelings, acting distant and not taking the relationship seriously ("You acted like I was a child", "Like it wouldn't last long").

Now, experiencing a new connection with someone who demonstrates love and care ("He wrote my name in silver sand"), the heroine recognizes how much her ex-partner has lost. She bitterly reminds him how he used to call her "the best he ever had" and emphasizes that now she is "in demand" by someone else.

The recurring phrase "You're thinking about how you should have held me (my hand)" expresses the heroine's confidence that her former partner regrets his actions and missing out on her. The line "Our love was never written (in your plans)" further highlights his indifference and unwillingness to build a future with her.

By the end of the song, the heroine revels in her triumph, imagining her ex-partner's regret and her own "triumphant smile." She has "won the race" for happiness, leaving him far behind. The repetition of the phrase "in demand" in different variations is not only a statement of fact but also a mantra, affirming her newfound self-worth and confidence.

When we were together I was blown away

Just like paper from a fan

But you would act like I was just a kid

Like we were never gonna' last

But now I've got someone who cares for me, (yeah)

Wrote my name in silver sands

I think you know you've lost the love of your life

(You said) I was the best you've ever had

Because I'm in demand, (hey)

You're thinking of the way you should've held my, (hand)

And all the times you'd say you didn't understand

You never had our love written in your, (plans)

But now I'm in demand

I never think you saw the best of me (ahh haa haa haa)

There's a side you'll never know

‘cos love and loving are two different things (ah haa haa haa)

Set your sights far too low

But now I've got someone who cares for me, (yeah)

He wrote my name in silver sands

I think you know you've lost the love of your life

(You said) I was the best you've ever had

Because I'm in demand, (hey)

You're thinking of the way you should've held my (hand)

And all the times you'd say you didn't understand

You never had our love written in your plans

But now I'm in demand

You're thinking of the way you've should've of held my (hand)

And all the times you'd say you didn't understand

You never had our love written in your (plans)

But now I'm in demand

It's only when I fall asleep

I see that winning smile

When my dreams just move along

You've lost the race by miles

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Stay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Because I'm in demand

You're thinking of the way you should've of held my (hand)

And all the times you'd say you didn't understand

You never had our love in your, (plans)

But now I'm in demand, (yeah)

You know I'm in demand

(Say you're in demand)

You know I'm in demand, (yeah)

Always in demand, (yeah)

Never had our love written in your plans

You know I'm in demand

You see me in demand
