Daniel Caesar - OPEN UP Lyrics






It's been such a long time
Since I set foot in the club
I really hate this shit, don't I?
I hate feeling rushed, girl, can I just be honest?
I don't feel like talkin' unless it's 'bout me, or philosophy
Can we just get down to business?
And when we're both finished, then we'll have a reason to speak

Then you can open up to me, girl
Let me plant my seed, girl
Let me fill your needs, girl
Open up to me, open up to me

The piano that I fuck you on
Same one that on which I write these songs for you
They're one in the same
That goes for us, too, I'd give you my name
The bed on which I lay to sleep
And lay with you and lay in deep
There ain't no difference, this case there isn't
That goes for us, too, I know you're listenin'
Sometimes it feels like I don't really care
One day you'll see, but in the meantime
Just trust that I'm there
Just trust that I love you
Just trust that I care
Trust that I need you to always be there
Trust that you know me well enough to know
I'm the high priest but you put on the show

Then you can open up to me, girl
Let me plant my seed, girl
Let me fill your needs, girl
Open up to me, open up to me

It's been such a long time
Since I set foot in the club

    I love this song . Such an intimate message in the lyrics. Even though you cannot express your feelings sometimes I'm sure she knows by the way you open yourself in other ways. The beauty of expression will always be a key to the heart. Love is a mysterious adventure , and if you read this Daniel. I think you're going far beyond on a road of true love

  31. c.... v....

    So many innuendos...so little time. 💯🔥

  32. M.... G....

    2:20 - 2:47 is the best part of the song

    M.... G....

    i wish he could've used his normal voice

    M.... G....

    Pablo Roger for real :\

    M.... G....

    Exactly bruh this week I’ve been listening and rewind to that certain time. The song isn’t bad but I love when he has his normal voice is glad I wasn’t the only one lol

  33. C.... S....

    The chords lowkey remind me of d'angelo how does it feel

  34. #.... 2....

    ....this is horrible

  35. S.... F....

    Did anyone else think they were watching “Us” in the beginning?? 😅

    S.... F....

    Saucyy Famos lmao i guess im not the only one too

  36. R.... H....

    Damn you Caesar, you got me thinking about girls I’ve never even loved 😅

  37. N.... l....

    Anyone picking up a DeAngelo vibe?

  38. T.... C....

    Nice.. 👌🏼

  39. L.... C....

    Fuck man, this is magic.
    i felt this one way too much

  40. A.... G....

    can someone make a mashup with this song and freudian?!
    that would be the thing

  41. V.... G....

    IM THE FEMALE VERSION OF WET

  42. i.... ....

    My friend recomended this song to me and i love it now. I consider it a chill song that i would just hang with my childhood friends to. My best guy friend i've known him since we were babies and i showed him this song and he agreed that it's a chill song. One of my favorites.

  43. a.... ....

    This is giving me Beyoncé “Rocket” feel; which gives me D’Angelo’s “How Does Ut Feel”

    I love it ‼️‼️

    a.... ....

    ashrick718 I said the same thing was getting strong deangelo vibes with a touch of John Mayer

    a.... ....

    Yep... So good

    a.... ....

    Totally agree and would add a touch of Prince. And if I didn't know any better, I would've thought Jacob Collier collaborated on or had a hand in the beginning and ending of the song.

  44. A.... S....

    Total Praise???

  45. M.... B....

    I love you Daniel keep up the good work🥰

  46. R.... Y....

    Daniel, this is some good sht

  47. a.... ....

    man... Frank Ocean vibes all over newly "Blonded" Daniel Ceasar

  48. A.... N....

    The music is about how Daniel sees himself with this girl, in the first part, sexually, with his Men Needs, and after, romantically, loving her, and being there always. He talks about having sex with her, but also, how he loves her, the music itself is a big antithesis.
The song communicates Daniels struggle to balance his id and his superego, specifically when approaching a woman. On one side he has his sexual desires but on the other he has his more deeply rooted wants. All in all he wants this girl to open up regardless of how he is acting.
Also,this track takes elements from his track “Japanese Denim” such as the subtle high hats and the kick drum in double time. This elements are also characteristic of his nod to Soul artist D’Angelo.

    A.... N....

    Wow thank you for explaining this

    A.... N....

    Well said

    A.... N....

    Love this hahaha

    A.... N....

    Yes!!!! That’s exactly what I thought 😨

    A.... N....

    Somewhere in the future, we will be analysing music lyrics, not novels and poems.

  49. t.... s....

    P.... D....

    Peter Do unfortunately he said some ignorant things and the black community canceled him meaning they won’t support him anymore which is unfortunate because i love him

    P.... D....

    It's been such a long time
    Since I set foot in the club
    I really hate this shit, don't I?
    I hate feeling rushed, girl, can I just be honest?
    I don't feel like talkin' unless it's 'bout me, or philosophy
    Can we just get down to business?
    And when we're both finished, then we'll have a reason to speak

    Then you can open up to me, girl
    Let me plant my seed, girl
    Let me fill your needs, girl
    Open up to me, open up to me

    The piano that I fuck you on
    Same one that on which I write these songs for you
    They're one in the same
    That goes for us, too, I'd give you my name
    The bed on which I lay to sleep
    And lay with you and lay in deep
    There ain't no difference, this case there isn't
    That goes for us, too, I know you're listenin'
    Sometimes it feels like I don't really care
    One day you'll see, but in the meantime
    Just trust that I'm there
    Just trust that I love you
    Just trust that I care
    Trust that I need you to always be there
    Trust that you know me well enough to know
    I'm the high priest but you put on the show

    Then you can open up to me, girl
    Let me plant my seed, girl
    Let me fill your needs, girl
    Open up to me, open up to me

    "ABRIR"

    Faz tanto tempo 
    Desde que pisei no clube 
    Eu realmente odeio essa merda, não é? 
    Eu odeio me sentir apressada, garota, posso ser apenas honesta? 
    Eu não sinto vontade de falar a menos que seja sobre mim, ou filosofia 
    Nós podemos apenas começar a fazer negócios? 
    E quando nós dois estamos acabados, então teremos um motivo para falar 

    Então você pode se abrir para mim, menina 
    Deixe-me plantar a minha semente, menina 
    Deixe-me encher suas necessidades, menina 
    Abra-se para mim, abrir para mim 

    A piano que eu te fodo 
    mesmo o que eu escrevo essas músicas para você 
    Eles são um no mesmo 
    Que vai para nós também, eu


    Não há diferença, neste caso não há 
    Isso também vale para nós, eu sei que você está ouvindo 
    Às vezes parece que eu realmente não me importo 
    Um dia você verá, mas enquanto isso 
    Apenas confie Que eu estou lá 
    Apenas confie que eu te amo 
    Apenas confie que me importo 
    Confie que eu preciso que você sempre esteja lá 
    Confie que você me conhece bem o suficiente para saber 
    Eu sou o sumo sacerdote, mas você coloca o show 

    Então você pode abrir Até mim, garota 
    Deixe-me plantar minha semente, garota 
    Deixe-me preencher suas necessidades, garota 
    Abra-se para mim, abra-se para mim 

    Faz tanto tempo 
    Desde que eu pisei no clube

    Verse 1]
    It's been such a long time
    Since I set foot in the club
    I really hate this shit, don’t I?
    I hate feeling rushed, girl, can I just be honest?
    I don't feel like talkin' unless it’s 'bout me, or philosophy
    Can we just get down to business?
    And when we're both finished, then we'll have a reason to speak

    [Chorus]
    Then you can open up to me, girl
    Let me plant my seed, girl
    Let me fill your needs, girl
    Open up to me, open up to me

    [Verse 2]
    The piano that I fuck you on
    Same one that on which I write these songs for you
    They're one in the same
    That goes for us, too, I'd give you my name
    The bed on which I lay to sleep
    And lay with you and lay in deep
    There ain't no difference, this case there isn't
    That goes for us, too, I know you’re listenin’
    Sometimes it feels like I don't really care
    One day you’ll see, but in the meantime
    Just trust that I'm there
    Just trust that I love you
    Just trust that I care
    Trust that I need you to always be there
    Trust that you know me well enough to know
    I'm the high priest but you put on the show
