Better Year
Navigating Desolation: Alchemists' Reflection on a Turbulent Year
Lyrics
That Christmas, we bought you a Wes Anderson calendar
Gifted a Wes Anderson calendar during Christmas
But you ended up hating that year
Recipient had a negative experience in that year
And I told you that I missed you in the bar
Expressing missing the person in a bar setting
Unaware of how we drifted so far
Realization of the emotional distance between them
Now the alcohol holds our conversation
Alcohol became a medium for their conversations
And sighs of desperation
Communication filled with sighs of desperation
I watched us deteriorate that fall
Observing the relationship deteriorate during fall
Nothing left to do, but sit back, watch it all
Helpless, only able to watch the relationship's decline
I was restless, I was fearful
Feeling restless and fearful during this period
Unsure of where that left me
Uncertain about the relationship's impact on the narrator
And I told you that I missed you in the bar
Reiteration of missing the person in a bar
Unaware of how we drifted so far
Highlighting the unawareness of the growing distance
Now the alcohol holds our conversation
Alcohol continues to dominate their conversations
And sighs of desperation
Sighs of desperation persist in their communication
After all we know
Reflecting on everything they've been through
Maybe you will stay close
Expressing hope that the person will stay close
Maybe you will stay here
Further hope that the person will stay for a better year
In hopes of a better year
Ends with optimism for a more positive future
