Rule nor Reason
Love's Unpredictable Dance
Lyrics
The wind sways the trees and the raindrops on the leaves
The wind moves the trees, and raindrops fall on the leaves.
Tumble down, down my neck in the breeze
Raindrops fall down the speaker's neck in the breeze.
Yes, it's true I hid out in the shadow of your doubt,
The speaker admits hiding in the shadow of someone's doubt.
And this medal that I wear is not for bravery, I'm afraid
The speaker wears a medal, but it's not for bravery.
And we're both going to have to accept
Both individuals need to acknowledge that their situation may not improve.
That this might be as good as it gets
The current state of affairs may be the best they can achieve.
As our love for each other respects
Their love for each other doesn't follow any set rules or reasons.
Neither rule nor reason
The speaker emphasizes that their love defies conventional rules and reasons.
The Queen on her throne plays Shirley Bassey
Reference to the Queen playing Shirley Bassey records alone on her throne.
Records when she's all on her own
The Queen, in solitude, looks out the window and cries.
And she looks out the window
A moment of reflection for the Queen.
And cries
The Queen expresses sadness or distress.
What should I do? Scratch off all of my tattoos?
The speaker contemplates removing their tattoos.
And forget those girls' names?
Questioning whether to forget past relationships.
But you're not about to let me do that, are you?
Despite the speaker's inclination, the other person opposes their decisions.
And we're both going to have to accept
Similar to line 6, reiterating acceptance of the current situation.
That this might be as bad as it gets
The situation may be as challenging as it gets.
As our love for each other respects
Their love operates without adherence to rules or reasons.
Neither rule nor reason
Reiteration of the unconventional nature of their love.
And we're both going to have to accept
Repeating the idea of accepting the current state as potentially the best.
That this might be as big as it gets
The situation may be as significant as it gets.
As our love for each other respects
Their love operates beyond conventional norms and expectations.
Neither rule nor reason
Reiteration of the idea that their love lacks adherence to rules or reasons.
