Hammerhead
Navigating Love's Maze: Insights from Cathy Davey's Hammerhead
Lyrics
You have the same stubbornness as a hammerhead
You possess the same level of stubbornness as a hammerhead shark.
Don't need to get into it
No need to delve into the details.
When every which way is wrong
When every possible direction is incorrect.
And every right is your own
Every correct path is determined by your own perspective.
And everything is either black or white
Viewing everything as either completely right or completely wrong.
But even I know the in-betweens and outs
Even though I understand the nuances and complexities.
My lowly brain can comprehend
My humble mind comprehends.
But if it's simple you want
If simplicity is what you desire.
Then don't go looking for love
Don't seek love; it will complicate matters in the end.
It'll complicate you in the end
Love, when pursued, introduces complications.
I may be hollow, but I've had my fill
Although I may be empty, I have experienced fulfillment.
A vital love I wasn't afraid to spill
I shared a significant love without fear of losing it.
And in the morning when I'm hollow still
Even when I remain hollow in the morning.
There wont be any room for us
There won't be space for both of us.
I had the same stubbornness as my rival
I exhibited the same stubbornness as my adversary.
Wouldn't even compromise
Refused to compromise, even when it was fair and balanced.
When it was it was too even steven
Avoided situations that seemed too evenly matched.
Didn't want to be eating
Didn't want to experience the humility of admitting fault.
Such a big piece of the humble pie
Learning from a difficult lesson.
It was a hard lesson to learn then
But I won't repeat that mistake.
But I wont go do that again
No, if it's easy, that's what I desire.
No if its easy I want
Won't engage in love casually.
I wont go dishing at love
Won't treat love as if I have an abundance of it.
Like its something I've got plenty of
I may be hollow, but I've had my fill
Although I may be empty, I have experienced fulfillment.
Of vital love I wasn't afraid to spill
I shared a significant love without fear of losing it.
And in the morning when I'm hollower still
Even when I remain more hollow.
There won't be any room for us
There won't be space for both of us.
I have the same attitude as my mother
I possess the same attitude as my mother.
And I think I'll see it out alone
Choosing to face life alone.
It may be sweet to share a bed
Sharing a bed may be sweet, but...
But when you're fucking with my head
...when emotions are manipulated.
This stopping pit is now a no-go zone
This stopping point is now off-limits.
I wanna love you, but it got too much
Despite wanting to love, it became too overwhelming.
You have to build it out of stronger stuff
Love requires a foundation of resilience.
We might have something but it's not enough
There might be something between us, but it's insufficient.
And there isnt room for us
And there isn't enough space for both of us.
