Background Noise
Navigating Love's Disruption: Background Noise
Lyrics
Life was always smooth sailing up until I met you
Life was smooth until meeting the person being addressed.
Now you've got me flailing, veering off of course
The person is now struggling and deviating from their original path due to the influence of the other.
Thought I had my balance, but then I heard your voice
The speaker thought they had stability until the other person's voice disrupted it.
Now the rest of the world is simply background noise
The world outside of the relationship becomes insignificant, like background noise.
Ooh yeah, background noise
Repetition emphasizing the concept of the world as background noise.
It's just background noise
-Yes, it's background noise
-I was on the straight and narrow, never left the path
Describing a life of order and following a set path until the other person's influence led to chaos.
Followed it religiously and always read the maps
-My compass was consistent and pointing towards true north
-Till your magnetism sent me off my course
-Cause I've been out of balance ever since I heard your voice
The speaker remains imbalanced since hearing the other person's voice.
Now the rest of the world is simply background noise
Reiteration of the idea that the world is now just background noise.
Ooh yeah, background noise
-It's just background noise
-Yes, it's background noise
-Now when I go driving, I'm veering left and right
Metaphorical description of driving off course, acknowledging the person as the source of distraction.
Cause the world is fading and you're all that's left in sight
-I denied it for a while, would pretend you weren't the source
-But you're the only one that's ever sent me off my course
-Cause I've been out of balance ever since I heard your voice
Continued imbalance caused by the impact of the person's voice.
Now the rest of the world is simply background noise
Restating that the world has become background noise due to the person's influence.
Oh yeah, background noise
-It's just background noise
-Yes, it's background noise
-Cause now you're in the forefront of my mind, I think about you all the time
Expressing the constant presence of the person in the speaker's thoughts and the desire for clarity in the relationship.
I'm not sure what it takes to make you mine so please why don't you tell me
-Cause you're the only sound I hear and I just want to bring you near
-One thing has become quite clear
Acknowledging a clear realization.
That I don't care if the world is background noise
The speaker doesn't mind the world being background noise as long as they can hear the person's voice.
Cause I just love your voice
Expressing love for the person's voice, reiterating that the rest of the world is background noise.
Oh yeah, background noise
-The rest is background noise
Confirming that the rest of the world is considered background noise in comparison to the person's voice.
