Keywords

💡Invested

The term 'invested' refers to the emotional or financial commitment one has in something. In the context of the video, it is used to describe the deep emotional attachment the singer has to someone they haven't even met yet, indicating a strong emotional investment. For example, the lyrics 'GOD I'M ACTUALLY INVESTED' and 'HAVEN'T EVEN MET YET' highlight the intensity of the singer's feelings despite the lack of a personal relationship.

💡Risk

Risk is the possibility of harm or loss. In the script, it is associated with the potential negative outcomes of the singer's actions or feelings. The lyrics 'HEARD THE RISK IS DROWNING BUT I'M GONNA TAKE IT' illustrate the willingness of the singer to face potential emotional harm in pursuit of a relationship.

💡Drowning

Drowning is the process of dying due to being submerged in water. Metaphorically, as used in the lyrics 'HEARD THE RISK IS DROWNING', it symbolizes the overwhelming nature of the singer's feelings or the potential for emotional loss, suggesting that the depth of their emotions could be their 'downfall'.

💡Deep End

The phrase 'deep end' typically refers to the deeper part of a swimming pool but is used metaphorically in the song to represent taking a leap into an uncertain situation. The lyrics 'GOD I'M JUMPING IN THE DEEP END' convey the singer's decision to fully immerse themselves in a potentially risky emotional situation.

💡Mistake

A mistake is an error or incorrect action. In the context of the video, 'Mistake' is used to describe a potential regrettable action. The line 'AND YOU'LL BE MY FAVORITE MISTAKE' suggests that even if the singer's actions turn out to be wrong, they are willing to accept the outcome as part of their experience.

💡Night

Night is the period of darkness between sunset and sunrise. In the script, 'night' is used to set a mood of loneliness and longing, as seen in 'AND I WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WITH THE LIGHT ON', indicating the singer's sleepless nights filled with thoughts of the person they are interested in.

💡Love

Love is a strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties. The phrase 'TOO SOON TO TELL YOU I LOVE YOU' reflects the singer's realization that they may be expressing their feelings prematurely, which is a common dilemma when one is deeply emotionally invested before a relationship is fully established.
