Love the Rough
Embracing Life's Twists: "Love the Rough" by Chris Ballew
Lyrics
now the happy days slide by
Time passes quickly in happiness.
like a splinter in my eye
The enjoyment of good times is disrupted by a bothersome element.
and the perfect song I wrote
A cherished creation is lost or erased.
is gone from my deleted drive
A significant creation is gone, possibly due to an error.
if every moment wereperfectly smooth
Perfection in every moment isn't desired; some imperfection is wanted.
I would want a little darkness too
Expresses a desire for contrast, indicating a need for both light and dark.
every deception does come true
Despite efforts to deceive or be deceptive, the truth eventually emerges.
and when I hold them both I scream woo hoo
Feeling conflicting emotions simultaneously, expressed with a joyful exclamation.
I love the rough I love the smooth
Enjoying both the challenging and the easy aspects of life.
I love the dirt in the record groove
Appreciating imperfections in things, like scratches on a record.
I love everything there is to loose
Valuing everything, even what might be lost.
I love the rough I love the smooth
Reiterating the appreciation for both rough and smooth experiences.
sandpaper rubbing on a balloon
Describing an uncomfortable or grating sensation metaphorically.
pretty melodies out of tune
Beautiful tunes that are slightly off-key or imperfect.
ice cream on a rusty spoon
An enjoyable treat but with an unpleasant utensil.
one plus one never comes to two
Challenging the conventional notion of arithmetic results.
we're pulling out a rotten tooth
Removing something unpleasant or decaying.
turning cheers into boos
Transforming positive reactions into negative ones.
starvation at an a open bar
Experiencing lack or need despite abundance.
on a stinking sinking luxury cruise
An ironic situation of discomfort in a luxurious setting.
