BETTER OFF
Embracing Liberation: Unveiling the Essence of 'Better Off' by Ben Provencial
Lyrics
Oh I was on my own
Expressing being alone or independent.
Tracing my steps back to the start
Reflecting on past experiences or memories.
In between the beauty and the scars
Life includes both beautiful moments and scars or difficulties.
It sends a shiver down my bones
Anxiety or discomfort caused by a particular situation.
When you smile in another's arms
Observing the person smiling while being with someone else.
I see you've moved on
Realizing that the person has moved on from the relationship.
If he's gonna take my place
Concern about someone taking one's place in the former relationship.
I hope I never see his face
Desire not to encounter the person who might replace the singer.
I don't know what to do
Feeling unsure or confused about the situation.
But I'm better off without you
Believing that life is better without the person in question.
Better off,
Reiterating the sentiment of being better off.
Better off without you
Emphasizing the improved state without the person.
Better off,
Repeating the idea of being better off without the person, reinforcing this feeling multiple times.
Better off without you
-Better off,
-Better off without you
-Oh is it so low
Questioning the moral value of hoping for the person to remember the singer while being alone.
To hope you think of me when you're alone
Understanding that the person likely doesn't think of the singer.
Knowing you don't
Acceptance of the realization that the person doesn't think about the singer.
If he's gonna take my place
Reiterating the concern about someone taking the singer's place.
I hope I never see his face
Wishing to avoid seeing the person who might replace the singer.
I don't know what to do
Expressing uncertainty or confusion about what actions to take.
But I'm better off without you
Reaffirming the belief that life is better without the person.
Better off,
Repeated emphasis on the improved state without the person.
Better off without you
-Better off,
-Better off without you
-Better off,
-Better off without you
-Better off,
-Better off without you
-Better off,
-Better off without you
-Better off,
-Better off without you
-If he's gonna take my place
Repeating the concern about someone taking the singer's place.
Please don't make the same mistakes
Requesting not to repeat the same mistakes with the new person.
Cuz he won't know what to do
Belief that the new person won't know how to handle the situation.
He'll be better off without you
Assertion that the new person will be better off without the previous person.
