Love Is in the Ear of the Listener
Echoes of Self-Doubt: Unveiling Love's Subjectivity
Lyrics
What if I'm just a bad songwriter
Expressing doubt about personal songwriting skills, questioning originality.
And everything I say has been said before?
Wondering if all statements made are unoriginal and have been said before.
Well, everything to say has been said before
Acknowledging that everything to say has been said before.
And that's not what makes or breaks us up
Asserting that the lack of originality doesn't determine the success or failure of relationships.
What if I'm just lousy up on the stage
Considering the possibility of being ineffective on stage.
And everybody watching is rolling their eyes
Imagining a critical audience and their disapproval.
Well, you can roll your eyes at whatever you choose to
Granting the freedom to the audience to have their own opinions.
And really it's all up to you
Emphasizing that individual perspectives determine judgment.
'Cause beauty's in the eyes of the beholder
Highlighting the subjective nature of beauty in the eyes of the beholder.
Love is in the ear of the listener
Stating that love is subjective and depends on the listener's perception.
'Cause beauty's in the eyes of the beholder
Reiterating the subjectivity of beauty in the eyes of the beholder.
Love is in the ear of the listener
Reemphasizing that love is subjective and depends on the listener's perception.
What if everybody just thinks I'm a phony
Considering the fear of being perceived as insincere or fake.
What if nobody ever gets it
Expressing concern about being misunderstood by others.
Well, some people never get anything
Recognizing that some people may never understand certain things.
And I shouldn't care what people think
Stating a need to disregard others' opinions and not care about what people think.
What if people are sick of hearing love songs
Contemplating whether people are tired of hearing love songs.
Maybe I should sing about dyin'
Suggesting a shift in song themes to something darker like death.
Or maybe I should sing about
Leaving the possibility open for various song themes.
How I'm not gonna control what comes out of my mouth
Declaring a lack of control over the content that is expressed.
'Cause beauty's in the eyes of the beholder
Reiterating the subjectivity of beauty in the eyes of the beholder.
Love is in the ear of the listener
Affirming that love is subjective and depends on the listener's perception.
'Cause beauty's in the eyes of the beholder
Reemphasizing the subjectivity of beauty in the eyes of the beholder.
Love is in the ear of the listener
Affirming again that love is subjective and depends on the listener's perception.
