Lyrics
Some say it's destiny
Some believe events are predetermined.
Whether triumph or tragedy
Life experiences can be either triumphant or tragic.
But I believe we cast our nets out on the sea
Our actions are like casting nets into the unpredictable sea of life.
And nothing we gather comes for free
Nothing obtained is without cost or effort.
I would have paid down through the years
Expressing a willingness to endure challenges over time.
A price beyong rubies, beyond tears
A metaphorical price paid beyond material wealth or tears.
To keep you safe with me
Desire to protect someone dearly.
But your suspicion and your fear
Reference to suspicion and fear damaging a relationship.
Your vow to let nobody near
A vow to keep emotional distance, forming a tragic trinity.
Was your trinity, such a tragedy
The emotional complexity of suspicion, fear, and distance as a tragedy.
Copy paste is a sin
Disapproval of copying without authenticity.
Always on the run is better
Suggesting a perpetual state of being on the move is preferable.
I drew the best hand you'd ever hold
Having been in a fortunate position in the past.
Then cashed my winnings in long ago
Having taken advantage of past opportunities.
Settled for silver how could I know
Accepting a lesser outcome without foreseeing better possibilities.
You were waiting with the gold
Realizing the missed opportunity when it's too late.
I could have caused your heart to yield
Potential to have a positive impact on someone's heart.
But I was only a disturbance in the field
Being a disturbance or obstacle in someone's aspirations.
Of your dreams and I will never see you cry
A realization that dreams have been disrupted irreversibly.
You won't be with me when I die
Acknowledging the absence of a significant other in death.
A waste of you and me a tragedy
Describing the relationship as a tragic waste.
We took the wrong train to kingdom come now
Choosing a path that leads to an undesirable destination.
No more damage can be done, baby
No further harm can be done, emphasizing the destructive nature.
It's just what the world don't need
Highlighting that the world doesn't need more tragedy.
It's another stinkin tragedy
Expressing the situation as another unfortunate tragedy.
That's how the story goes
Reflecting on the inevitability of tragic narratives.
Our chapter's coming to a close
Recognizing the imminent end of the relationship.
We are history
Acknowledging the closure of a chapter in their shared history.
But I will always think of you
A commitment to remember the person despite the ending.
Every day until my days are through
Expressing a lasting impact on thoughts until the end of life.
You made me believe in tragedy
The realization that the relationship itself is a tragedy.
In tragedy
Reiterating the theme of tragedy in the concluding line.
