to get to where we are
Navigating Love's Imperfections: Journey with 'to get to where we are' by David OFMG
Lyrics
It started as a rumour
The journey began with a rumor.
And we've only just begun
The journey is in its early stages.
To figure out this message
Trying to understand a message that you've been conveying all along.
You've been ending all along
The hidden meaning behind your actions is now becoming clear.
We started as some lovers
We initially presented ourselves as lovers, but that wasn't true.
But that's just what we weren't
Perfection, which we mistakenly pursued, led to the failure of our true desires.
Perfection is the flaw that crumbled
Perfection is a flawed concept that caused our genuine desires to crumble.
What we truly wanted
We lost what we truly wanted in the pursuit of perfection.
And after all this time
Despite the passage of time, we still struggle to begin.
We didn't know how to start
We were uncertain about how to initiate things all along.
And this is all we do
Our actions reflect a repetitive pattern to reach our current state.
To get to where we are
All the struggles and actions lead us to our present situation.
I can't take it back
Actions cannot be undone; they contribute to the ongoing struggle.
It's the fight that I began
The conflict initiated by me is now a part of our journey.
Look your manic pixie dream boy is here
An ironic reference to the speaker as a quirky and idealized character.
So cry into your bed
Encouraging the other person to express their emotions.
Cause I'm not living in your head
The speaker is not influenced by the thoughts of the other person.
Its not perfect so we left it alone
Accepting imperfection and choosing not to interfere with it.
You made me cry in the graveyard
Recalling emotional pain caused by the other person in a significant location.
And scream down the courtyard
Expressing the emotional turmoil experienced in a specific setting.
And run down this road so many nights
Repeatedly going through challenging experiences in the journey.
And after all this time
Despite the elapsed time, the speaker still struggles to initiate.
We never know how to start
Continuing uncertainty on how to start despite the duration.
And this is all we do
Repetition of actions as a means to reach the current state.
To get to where we are
Summarizing that all the struggles and actions have led to the present situation.
