Disconnected
Love's Cost: Navigating Life's Cages
Lyrics
I stay in your arms, we both know what we selected
I remain close to you, and we are aware of the choices we made.
And our hearts paid the cost, cuz we’re still so disconnected
Our hearts suffered the consequences because we are still emotionally distant.
We grow up in different places
We come from different backgrounds.
We run in two separate races
We pursue different paths in life.
Baby I know that It feels like
Although it seems like we've been confined, perhaps in a challenging situation.
We’ve been locked up in these cages
We've been constrained in some way, maybe metaphorically in cages.
I’ve been waiting for you for ages
I've been waiting for you patiently for a long time.
But now we’re going through stages
Now, we are experiencing different phases or stages in our relationship.
They say life ain't no rehearsal
Life is not a practice run, and decisions have real consequences.
but I don't know how I’m gon’ play this
The singer is uncertain about how to navigate the challenges in life and love.
I stay in your arms, we both know what we selected
Repetition of the idea of staying close and understanding the choices made.
And our hearts paid the cost, cuz we’re still so disconnected
Reiteration of the emotional cost of the choices, emphasizing the disconnection.
I stay in your arms, we both know what we selected
Another repetition, underscoring the ongoing emotional distance.
And our hearts paid the cost, cuz we’re still so disconnected
Emphasizes the continued emotional cost and disconnection.
Love me if you’re able
Asking the partner to love if they are capable.
Go ahead and put your cards on the table
Encouraging honesty and openness in the relationship.
She said that she was a keeper
A statement about the partner being valuable or a 'keeper.'
And I hope that she ain’t a cheater
Expressing hope that the partner is faithful and trustworthy.
I’m in your arms tonight
The singer is physically close to the partner.
I wanna be with you for life
Expressing a desire for a long-term commitment with the partner.
Only live once can’t regret it
Encouraging living without regrets, but acknowledging a feeling of disconnection.
But I feel like we disconnected
Despite living in the moment, there is a sense of emotional detachment.
Trying to remember what we are
The singer is reflecting on the nature of their relationship.
There's no turning back, we’ve gone to far
There is a realization that there's no going back, acknowledging a point of no return.
If I had a choice I would still choose our love, but it’s not enough
Expressing a hypothetical choice to still choose love, but recognizing it may not be sufficient.
I stay in your arms, we both know what we selected
Repetition of the theme of staying close and understanding choices made.
And our hearts paid the cost, cuz we’re still so disconnected
Reiterating the emotional cost and ongoing disconnection.
I stay in your arms, we both know what we selected
Another repetition of the emotional toll and persistent disconnection.
And our hearts paid the cost, cuz we’re still so disconnected
Emphasizing the continued emotional cost and disconnection.
I stay in your arms, we both know what we selected
Stressing the ongoing awareness of choices and emotional consequences.
And our hearts paid the cost, cuz we’re still so disconnected
Final emphasis on the enduring emotional cost and disconnection.
