The meaning of the lyrics of the song "yes & no" by the artist "XYL#216;"

Contents

In the song "Yes & No," artist XYL#216 explores the theme of duality and contradiction within human nature. The lyrical heroine oscillates between extremes, unable to define herself and make choices.

From the outset of the song, we witness her indecisiveness ("People say I'm indecisive, (Yes, I am; no, I'm not)"). Her moods and desires are fickle, and she struggles to choose between solitude and company, between staying or leaving.

The key phrase "Cause I'm both 'yes' and 'no'" recurs throughout the song. The heroine feels torn, as if two opposing forces coexist within her, preventing her from making a clear decision.

She acknowledges that she cannot provide answers to others' questions because she is on a constant quest between the beginning and the end. This metaphor reflects her existential crisis, her uncertainty about herself and the future.

The imagery of "dying" and "invincibility" further emphasizes her inner struggle. On one hand, she feels vulnerable and lost, while on the other, she feels invincible and strong.

Towards the end, a phone call from a friend goes unanswered. This can be interpreted as another instance of the heroine's indecision or as a symbol of her isolation and alienation.

[Verse 1:]

People say I'm indecisive (I am, I'm not)

If one day I hate it, then the next I'll probably like it

Do I feel like being alone, or with all of my friends?

Fuck, I don't know if I should stay or if I should go

[Pre-Chorus:]

I don't have the answers you need

'Cause I live in the in-between

So if you put your bets on me

You better be down for anything

[Chorus:]

'Cause I'm like yes and no

Wait, I don't know

I think I'm dyin'

Hold up, I'm invincible

Yeah, I'm like yes (Yes) and no (No)

Wait, I don't know

I'll pull you closer into me

And I'm pushin' you away

'Cause I'm like yes and no

Wait, I don't know (I don't know)

I think I'm dyin'

Hold up, I'm invincible (That's right)

Yeah, I'm like yes (Yes) and no (No)

Wait, I don't know

I'll pull you closer into me

And I'm pushin' you away

[Verse 2:]

Don't know if I'm feeling happy (No)

I'm kinda confused, I'm not in the mood to try and fix me (Uh)

Do I feel like being alone, or with all of my friends?

Fuck, I don't know if I should stay or if I should go

[Pre-Chorus:]

I don't have the answers you need

'Cause I live in the in-between

Ah...

[Chorus:]

'Cause I'm like yes and no

Wait, I don't know

I think I'm dyin'

Hold up, I'm invincible

Yeah, I'm like yes (Yes) and no (No)

Wait, I don't know

I'll pull you closer into me

And I'm pushin' you away

'Cause I'm like yes and no

Wait, I don't know (I don't know)

I think I'm dyin'

Hold up, I'm invincible (That's right)

Yeah, I'm like yes (Yes) and no (No)

Wait, I don't know

I'll pull you closer into me

And I'm pushin' you away

[Interlude:]

Hi Paige, this is Liz

Would you give me a call, please?

Thank you

[Bridge:]

I think I'm dyin'

Hold up, I'm invincible

(Yes, no)

I'll pull you closer into me

And I'm pushin' you away

[Chorus:]

'Cause I'm like yes (Yes) and no (No)

Wait, I don't know (I don't know)

I think I'm dyin'

Hold up, I'm invincible (That's right)

Yeah, I'm like yes and no

Wait, I don't know

I'll pull you closer into me

And I'm pushin' you away

[Outro:]
