The meaning of the lyrics of the song "It's All in Vain" by the artist "Wet"

Contents

In Wet's song "It's All in Vain," the lyrical heroine is going through a painful breakup, realizing the falseness and emptiness of her lover's words.

The first verse conveys her distrust and desire to hear the truth: "Tell me, baby... all the things you couldn't show me." She understands that he never truly knew or saw her ("Now I see you never knew me").

In the pre-chorus, her doubts intensify: "I don't believe you when you say you love me most of all." Physical intimacy ("touching me") and words of love seem empty and insincere to her. She issues an ultimatum: "It's all or nothing... let me go."

The chorus emphasizes her disappointment: "When you say you love me, baby... let me look at your face." The words "It's all in vain" reflect the futility of his promises and her bitter experience. Memories of the past haunt her, preventing her from moving on.

The second verse repeats the motifs of the first, emphasizing that she has "studied" him and no longer believes in empty words. She is ready to leave, despite the pain of separation.

[Verse 1:]

Tell me, baby, tell me slowly

All the things you couldn't show me

Tell me one more time before I leave

Now I see you never knew me

Look at you, you look right through me

Tell me one more time before I go

[Pre-Chorus:]

I don't believe you when you

Say you love me most

And when you tell me I'm the only one

And I can't feel you when you're

Touchin' me and tellin' me

That this time you want all of me

And you won't hear me when I'm

Tellin' you it's all or nothin'

All or nothin', baby please

Let go of me, let go of me

[Chorus:]

When you say you love me, baby

Let me see your face

And when you say you'll never leave me

Know it's all in vain

And these memories, they haunt me

Wherever I go

[Verse 2:]

Tell me, baby, say it slowly

All the things you never showed me

Tell me one more time before I leave

Now I see you hardly know me

I learned your way, I learned so slowly

Take another shot, but you'll miss me

[Pre-Chorus:]

I don't believe you when you

Tell me that you love me most

And when you tell me I'm the only one

And I can't feel you when you're

Kissin' me and tellin' me

That all my fears are in my head

And you won't hear me when I

Tell you that it's all or nothin'

All or nothin', baby please

Let go of me

[Chorus:]

When you say you love me, baby

Let me see your face

And when you say you'll never leave me

Know that it's all in vain

And these memories, they haunt me

Wherever I go
