The song "Limbo" by Jutes explores the uncertainty and lack of commitment in a romantic relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer deeply admires and cares for their partner, but there are issues present in the relationship. Despite smiling and appearing happy on the surface, both individuals feel emotionally numb. The singer questions whether they are the person their partner truly wants to be with, as their actions and words do not inspire faith in the relationship. The partner's eyes are portrayed as deceitful, leading the singer on with false promises. The repeated question, "Are you all in?" reveals the singer's desire for clarity and commitment from their partner. They want to know if their partner is truly invested in the relationship or if they are just going through the motions. The chorus emphasizes the singer's frustration and confusion. They don't want to be left in a state of uncertainty and doubt, every time the wind of uncertainty blows. While everything may seem simple and peaceful when they are together, they acknowledge that the relationship is over because their partner isn't fully committed. The second verse touches upon the pain and trust issues that the singer has experienced in the relationship. Despite these issues, they admit to being caught up in their feelings and having a hard time letting go. The line "If I can't have you, no one can" suggests a hint of possessiveness or desperation. The verse also suggests that their partner has moved on to someone else. The line "I know you've probably got a new man" indicates that their partner has found someone new, which adds to the singer's feelings of rejection and heartbreak. In the chorus, the repetition of "You're not all in" emphasizes the lack of commitment from the partner. The repeated phrase "Now it's over" suggests a realization and acceptance that the relationship has come to an end. Overall, "Limbo" by Jutes tells a story of a relationship filled with uncertainty, lack of commitment, and heartache. The singer longs for transparency and a genuine dedication from their partner, but ultimately realizes that the relationship is over due to their partner's lack of being "all in."
