and there's just no going back to where he once was. He's now on the other side of it - and looking back. a mom, a girlfriend, we shouldn't have assumed things would always be the same. We should have been focusing on that relationship - no matter who that person was. because any good song also has some slight personal background, but all of the things about pulling the puzzles apart - and about chasing our tails reiterates the idea that we were distracted by things that truly weren't the real important things. but life is always changing, and one day you wake up to find what you had is gone - and you didn't really take advantage of the beautiful thing it was while it was there. the car accident (like the video) or the illness. Anything where you want to go back to before it all happened. My InterpretationLike any really good song. *What A R͟E͟A͟L͟I͟S͟T͟I͟C͟A͟L͟L͟Y͟ B͟E͟A͟U͟T͟I͟F͟U͟L͟ M͟I͟S͟E͟R͟Y That This Song Can Truly Convey. I truly wish you.all the very best.in all matters. If they remain in your heart and thoughts.YOU MUST CONTINUOUSLY PROVE YOUR REGRETS, YOUR LOVE, & YOUR APPRECIATION TO THEM FROM THIS DAY spite however long it takes.you MUST try.Īt least you'd have the satisfaction of knowing that you have tried, despite the heartache (and even tears) yet, to just simply submit. However, if you did not GIVE ALL YOU HAVE as to show your SHEER, DEEPEST REGRETS, then (perhaps) you did not deserve om the very beginning. I hope you will be so fortunate to confront such a rarity in the future, again.
If you truly believe that you've tried, with ALL YOU HAVE, to REDEEM YOUR REGRETS, then.so be it. He was the scientist instead of the lover, and he's lost her, and it's over, and he never ever knew, never ever had an inkling of how hard it would be without (and perhaps to all).ĭid you just assume that the relationship was finished, given the likelihood of their harsh tone? What have you done to redeem yourself? The love of someone, like such, which was shared, is a rarity and, more importantly, keep in mind that time always brings about a change.
His apologies are too late, his confession is too late, his realization is too late. And now he would give anything to just go back to the beginning and start over again, but it will never happen. and how he analyzed everything and came up with logical reasons for all of the mistakes he made, making her seem wrong for just loving him and feeling hurt when he hurt her, and how he realizes now how he was letting their future love be decided by something as meaningless as a flip of the coin. How he took her for granted, thinking that her love would be as reliable and logical as a machine, not even realizing that he wasn't giving her the love and understanding and emotion that she needed. And he remembers all of the magic at the beginning, how it was then, when everything seemed perfect, and he understands his mistake. he actually hears it now and pays attention to it now, now when she doesn't want him anymore. and now it haunts him, because he remembers her saying it now, he hears it in his head incessantly. especially how she said she loved him, how she used to say it all the time, and how he thought so little of it at the time, and how he never hears her say it anymore, and never will again. And he's remembering those times, and how it was back than. the way it was at the beginning when she was excited and wanted to know everything about him and he was her world.
It's all about a guy (or a girl, I suppose) who is so very sorry that he screwed things up and wants to just erase the huge mistakes he made and go back to the start of the relationship, back when everything was ok and when she still loved him, and he is tortured by the memory of when she used to tell him things about herself and ask him questions about himself, about his life, his story. For anyone who has been through this, the lyrics describe it perfectly, and it's pretty much unmistakable. How do I know? Because I know what this certain kind of broken relationship, the one the song is talking about, feels like. My InterpretationThis song is about a broken relationship.
