Lyrics & meaning

♫ Tanglish lyrics
↻ English translation
Listen up hold me like
You’ve never held another
All this time
I’ve missed
Every hug and every little kiss
Unbutton my dreams
Unzip your fire
Take me higher
Oh….
Save me save me
The world is spinning in your midst
Love me take me
Show me everything
I’ve missed
Longin’s & yearnin’
I’m falling into your abyss
Baby please save me
Stop this pain and take a risk
Listen up hold me like
You’ve never held another
Kiss me now
Hold me tight
You’ve made me
Fall so truly
Every time we touch
I can feel a rush
I miss you so much…
Slowly but slowly
You enter
Into my world
My love
Surround me like water
And burn me like hell is here
On my bed
Oh..
Never and ever
Keep this burning
Night and day
Let’s keep this burning
Bright and shining
Making love
My baby
Listen up hold me like
You’ve never held another
Never mind kiss me like
You’d never kiss your mother
Unbutton my dreams
Unzip your fire
Take me higher
Sweet warmth on your breath
Can speak more than million
Words to me
Every time you touch me
I feel young and loved
Oh my love my love
Oh…
Losing all control
I’m learning to let go
Just try to find a way to make
You stay with me
My love my love
Listen up, hold me like
You've never held another
All this time
I've missed
Every hug and every little kiss
Unbutton my dreams
Unzip your fire
Take me higher
Oh...
Save me, save me
The world is spinning in your midst
Love me, take me
Show me everything
I've missed
Longings and yearnings
I'm falling into your abyss
Baby, please save me
Stop this pain and take a risk
Listen up, hold me like
You've never held another
Kiss me now
Hold me tight
You've made me
Fall so truly
Every time we touch
I can feel a rush
I miss you so much...
Slowly, so slowly
You enter
Into my world
My love
Surround me like water
And burn me like hell is here
On my bed
Oh...
Never and ever
Keep this burning
Night and day
Let's keep this burning
Bright and shining
Making love
My baby
Listen up, hold me like
You've never held another
Never mind, kiss me like
You'd never kiss your mother
Unbutton my dreams
Unzip your fire
Take me higher
Sweet warmth on your breath
Can speak more than a million
Words to me
Every time you touch me
I feel young and loved
Oh my love, my love
Oh...
Losing all control
I'm learning to let go
Just trying to find a way to make
You stay with me
My love, my love

Metaphor

Unbutton my dreams / Unzip your fire

Uses physical clothing fasteners ('unbutton', 'unzip') metaphorically to represent stripping away emotional inhibitions and unleashing inner passion.

Simile

Surround me like water / And burn me like hell is here

Compares love to the natural immersion of water and the intense heat of fire to convey physical and emotional sensory overload.

End Rhyme

Every time we touch / I can feel a rush / I miss you so much…

Employs simple internal and end rhymes (touch / rush / much) to give the English verse a rhythmic, musical bounce.
