Lyrics Doubt-> Electronic - Disappointed

[DJ Pat]

Oh man, I gotta dig up that Electronic LP

[Dipso]

No, it is not right! It is: "I'm disappointed at all" Which means: I'm not disappointed. It's something like: I am disappointed, but I suppose you are not disappointing me again. "Dreaming!"
IMO of course.

It is "so you're not disappointed at all". It simply isn't possible to say "I'm disappointed at all" in English.

[Vince]

^^ The masta says so

@Diana: Please read the lyrics from here

I don't understand. How could the speaker know if the listener is disappointed or not?

This lyrics say "disappointing" btw: http://www.worldinmotion.net/electronic ... tracks.htm

[Dipso]

The speaker hopes that his lover will not be disappointed by their relationship.

Speaking of Electronic, the synth line in Nelly Furtado's "Promiscuous" strongly reminds me of a song of theirs , poss from the 1st album..

They might do, but they're almost certainly wrong. 'So you're not disappointing at all' doesn't make much sense, nor does it sound right.

And where did that 'See all' bit come from in the full song you posted? That makes even less sense.

I am hearing "See". You don't? Maybe "See you're", but no "So you're".

And maybe you are all right, then is the explanation: I am disappointed, and you can't be. Like "I love you more than you love me" in Getting away with it.

In what way does 'So you're not dissappointing at all' not sound right? Sounds fine to me?

[Vince]

What an old thread!! i dont even remember starting it!

It's damn there is no official lyrics for this masterpiece.
Does Neil sing "dream" or "dreaming" in the middle bit?:

Dont think i've seen you in a while Greendrake! good to see you here again

It is "dreaming" .. i think..

Another doubt is about "i was somebody falling for one who was not". Does it mean he was the cause of someone's falling in love with a 3rd party, who was not that joy about it?

lol... it means Neil fell for someone, who didnt fall in love (with Neil) in return..


OMG the lyrics of this song is happening to me in my life right now..

You need to read the two lines as one phrase: "I was somebody falling for one who was not somebody tired of dreaming."

It's a bit convoluted (as lyrics sometimes are) but it means he was falling for somebody who wasn't tired of dreaming.

Well that's the thing: Both uses of "somebody" are entirely superfluous grammatically, adding no meaning to the phrase. If you said "I was falling for one who was not tired of dreaming" It would mean the same thing, but wouldn't fit the meter of the song.

Your English teacher was right, because changing the word order changes the meaning.

@YFU: how about this

this is the lyric right
"I was somebody falling, for one who was not,
somebody tired of dreaming"

it can also mean - i was somebody falling for someone (who isnt falling in love with me). i was somebody tired of dreaming.
both the "somebody" refers to the singer.
