Better Than Most
Navigating Love's Turbulence: A.C. Newman's Melodic Reflection
Lyrics
Better than most at feeling your pain,
Better than most at empathizing with your suffering.
Walking wounded through the stars tonight, we wander the plains,
Navigating the challenges of life, symbolized by the stars, while traversing the metaphorical plains of existence.
Pointing pistols at the dawn.
Confronting difficulties and uncertainties represented by pointing pistols at the dawn, a metaphor for facing new beginnings.
Never looked into your eyes this long,
Expressing a deep, prolonged gaze into someone's eyes, suggesting intimacy or connection.
With a dollars worth of distance run,
Having covered a significant distance or endured challenges, often measured in the metaphorical currency of dollars.
Courtesy of the broken and holy one.
Benefiting from the experiences of being broken and holy, implying a complex and multifaceted life.
Your lipstick is thick but Paris is gone,
Noticing that appearances may be deceiving, as thick lipstick contrasts with the absence of Paris, suggesting loss or change.
And I wish this was a crowded room, now the challenge is on,
Expressing a desire for a crowded room, possibly seeking distraction or engagement in a busy environment.
And I never learned to fly.
Reflecting on a failure to learn a crucial skill, possibly metaphorical, such as the ability to take risks and soar.
Never looked into your eyes this long,

With a dollars worth of distance run,

Courtesy of the broken and holy one.

Better than most at feeling no pain,
Skilled at avoiding emotional pain or numbness to it, contrasting with the ability to empathize mentioned earlier.
Just as soon as you arrive, we'll start,
Anticipating engagement or action upon someone's arrival, emphasizing a readiness to confront challenges.
I want to explain why I never learned to fly.
Expressing a desire to clarify or justify the inability to learn a specific skill, possibly related to personal growth or risk-taking.
Never looked into your eyes this long,
Repeating the theme of prolonged eye contact, highlighting its significance or emotional depth.
With a dollars worth of distance run,
Emphasizing the metaphorical distance covered, possibly suggesting a journey of self-discovery or overcoming challenges.
Courtesy of the broken and holy one.

Better than most at feeling no pain.
