Mixed Signals
Mixed Signals by Manatomy is a moody Manatomy track about confusion, attraction, and trying to read someone who keeps changing the game. With emotional queer club energy, it captures the push pull of desire, doubt, and late night messages that never land cleanly. The emotional weight builds through the lyrics rather than the production alone. It is the kind of track that earns repeat listens by saying something real, and the beat is built to carry that weight without overpowering it. The lyrics are below.
Mixed Signals opens Vol.5 with something emotionally specific – the confusion of reading someone wrong, wanting to believe in something that might not be there. One of Manatomy’s most honest romantic tracks. For queer love song Australia, this one earns its place through emotional specificity.
Mixed Signals earns its place in any gay emotional track playlist through honest production rather than production polish. The emotion in the lyrics is the point – the beat is built to carry it, not to compete with it. If a line brought you here from search, the lyrics below will confirm you found the right place.
Whether it arrives through a search for a specific lyric or through an algorithm placing it next to the right track, it earns the listen. The emotional specificity in the lyrics is the reason people come back to it.
If this track is on your list, so should Catch My Vibe and Woof For Me.

Lyrics
Then you lean on my shoulder
Tell me "we too grown"
But you're tracing my name on my coat tag
You say no
But stay close
Pull me in
Then freeze up
Tell your friends we "just ghosts"
But you're texting me "come through" at three-something
Push pull
Holding close
Yeah you hit then you hide
What you mean
Nobody knows
Except the way your hands don't lie
Mixed signals
Got me spinning in your orbit
Can't let go
You say no
But stay close
You say no
But stay close (stay close)
Mixed signals
Every answer is a shrug and "I don't know"
Push pull
Holding close
Push pull
So close (too much)
What you mean
Nobody knows
But my heartbeat reading all your codes
You say "we're a bad idea"
But you're stealing my hoodie
"You're my worst habit dear"
While you kiss me like you wanna prove something
Side eye
Soft grin
Saying "this is the last time"
But your ride home
Back in
And we loop the same thin line
You spin me round
You stall
You build the height
Then drop me
You say "it's nothing at all"
While your friends all clock me (yeah yeah)
Mixed signals
Got me spinning in your orbit
Can't let go
You say no
But stay close
You say no
But stay close (so close)
Mixed signals
Every answer is a shrug and "I don't know"
Push pull
Holding close
Push pull
Holding close, stay close (too much)
What you mean
Nobody knows
But my heartbeat reading all your codes
Mixed signals
Mixed signals
Say no, but
Stay close
Mixed signals
Stay close
Stay close
Stay close
Push pull
Holding close,
Stay close
Stay close, stay close
Stay close, stay close
Push pull, holding close
Tell me which way this goes
Mixed signals
Got me spinning in your orbit
Can't let go
You say no
But stay close
You say no
But stay close (stay close)
Mixed signals
Every answer is a shrug and "I don't know"
Push pull
Holding close
Push pull
Holding close, too close (too much)
What you mean
Nobody knows
But my heartbeat reading all your codes
