Song Meaning of “I’m Looking Through You” by Lloyd Green
I’m looking through you, as you look away,
I don’t understand how you keep on pretending.
That everything is alright.
This song expresses the feelings of confusion and frustration many of us feel when we feel a distance growing between ourselves and a loved one. In the chorus, the narrator is looking at the other person and yet they turn away, perhaps to avoid a difficult conversation or deny the situation. The narrator sees through this and wonders why the other person is pretending that everything is alright.
The song could be seen as a warning to us to be careful not to ignore and deny our feelings of insecurity and disconnection in important relationships. By being honest with ourselves about the state of our relationships, we are more likely to be able to be truly connected and build strong relationships.
The song encourages us to take off our rose-tinted glasses and to look deeper into the relationships we have, so we can address difficult topics or feelings. By dealing with issues now, we can hope to maintain the connection and prevent further distance from growing between us and the people we care about.
