Worthy
Embracing Unworthiness: A Reflection on Human Deserving
Lyrics
You think you're not worthy
You doubt your own worthiness
I'd have to say I agree
The speaker concurs with the doubt
I'm not worthy of you
The speaker feels unworthy of the listener
You're not worthy of me
The listener is also deemed unworthy
Which of us is deserving
Rhetorical question about deservingness
Look at the human race
Reflecting on the flaws of humanity
The whole planet at arm's length
The world is held at a distance
And we don't deserve this place
We, as a species, don't deserve the Earth
What good is a poker face
Questioning the utility of hiding emotions
When you've got an open hand
Contrast between a poker face and openness
I was supposed to be cool about this
The speaker intended to stay calm
Yeah I remember cool was the plan
Reflecting on the initial plan to be 'cool'
Tried to keep it all under wraps
Attempt to conceal emotions but failing
But the wraps kept going slack
Effort to keep something secret
I keep turning around
Constantly looking back at the situation
I keep coming back
Despite setbacks, the speaker returns
Give me your vertical
Asking for emotional and physical aspects
Your horizontal line
Desire to align with the listener in both aspects
I want to take each of them
Wishing to adapt to each other
Bend them to fit mine
Creating harmony between them
The world is too good for me
Feeling undeserving of the world's goodness
I am such a naughty girl
The speaker acknowledges being rebellious
But when we're together
Despite personal flaws, unity is powerful
We're too good for this world
Together, they transcend the imperfections
You think you're not worthy
Reiteration of mutual unworthiness
I'd have to say I agree
The speaker agrees with the listener's doubt
I'm not worthy of you
Speaker reaffirms their sense of unworthiness
You're not worthy of me
Listener is also considered unworthy
I'm not worthy of you
Speaker emphasizes their unworthiness again
You aren't worthy of me...
Final statement on mutual unworthiness
