Lyrics
Look at us now, are you happy with the way
Reflecting on the present, questioning satisfaction with the current situation.
That things are going around here?
Expressing concern about the state of affairs.
Are you happy now?
Prompting a direct question about current happiness.
Opened my skin, made a claim of revolution
Metaphorical reference to vulnerability, sharing inner feelings.
Then you let yourself right back in
Expressing a sense of betrayal or return to vulnerability.
Look at us now, are you saddened by the way
Observing the current state of a relationship, questioning personal freedom.
That I am carelessly unbound and still happy now?
Acknowledging freedom but questioning if it leads to happiness.
Opened my skin, made a claim of resolution
Similar to line 4, emphasizing a claim or decision.
Then you let yourself right back in
Repetition of the theme of vulnerability or betrayal.
You are such a beautiful thing
Complimenting someone as beautiful but possibly troubled.
When you're helplessly crying your eyes out
Describing emotional vulnerability through crying.
And I hope that there's a better man inside of me
Hoping for personal improvement despite doubts.
But I'm starting to doubt that there is
Expressing skepticism about self-improvement.
What have we become?
Raising a question about the transformation of the relationship.
I'm falling in and falling out of a thousand days
Experiencing fluctuating emotions over an extended period.
We lived for love, are you happy now?
Reflecting on past actions and questioning current happiness.
Wounded hearts and broken tongues, oh, we let it fly
Describing emotional pain and the release of feelings.
As I pound my fist against the wall
Expressing frustration through physical action.
And you are such a beautiful thing
Reiteration of a compliment with emotional undertones.
When you're helplessly crying your eyes out
Repetition of emotional vulnerability through crying.
And I hope that there's a better man inside of me
Repeating hope for personal improvement with lingering doubt.
But I'm starting to doubt that there is
Reiterating doubt about self-improvement.
You ain't lonely, then why'd you let me in
Raising questions about loneliness and acceptance into one's life.
Pulling me from the wreckage?
Acknowledging rescue or support from a difficult situation.
And you smile but smiling's just a phase
Highlighting the temporary nature of a smile.
And I can't get caught in your forever
Expressing a reluctance to be part of a long-lasting commitment or relationship.
And you are such a beautiful thing
Reiteration of a compliment with continued doubt.
And I hope that there's a better man inside of me, oh
Repeating the desire for personal improvement.
And you are such a beautiful thing
Reiterating a compliment with persistent doubt.
When you're helplessly crying your eyes out
Repetition of emotional vulnerability through crying.
And I hope that there's a better man inside of me
Repeating hope for personal improvement with lingering doubt.
But I'm starting to doubt that there is
Reiterating doubt about self-improvement.
'Cause I'm starting to doubt that there is
Expressing a growing certainty in the doubt about self-improvement.
