Vanessa
Love's Unhappy Tango: Del Water Gap's Vanessa Reveals Complex Emotions
Lyrics
I am so in love with her but I am so unhappy
I am deeply in love with her, but my happiness is lacking.
She’s so smooth but insecure, I wanna tell her don’t be
She appears confident but struggles with insecurity; I want to reassure her.
She wears black, all black on black, I wanna see her brighten
She consistently dresses in dark attire; I wish to witness her brightening or lightening up.
And see her lift her legs right from my lap
I want to see her elevate herself, symbolized by lifting her legs from my lap.
Oh no, I think I’ve fallen in it
Expressing realization of falling in love.
Oh no, it isn’t any use
Despite the realization, acknowledging that it may not serve any purpose.
Oh well, I should’ve left her sooner
Regretting not ending the relationship earlier.
She says it’s so cheap to think the afterlife is given
She believes it's naive to assume an afterlife is guaranteed and considers life as having limited value.
One shot’s it, you’re born and live and then you’re good as nothing
Life is brief; birth, existence, and then insignificance.
Oh no, I think I’ve fallen in it
Reiterating the realization of being in love but feeling it's futile.
Oh no, it isn’t any use
Acceptance that the realization may not lead to any positive outcome.
Oh well, I guess my word means nothing
Acknowledging that personal promises or assurances may be worthless.
I just wanted to tell her I won’t deal with this peacefully
Expressing a desire to communicate honestly, even if it means not handling the situation peacefully.
No, I’m just not like that
Rejecting the idea of dealing with the situation in a calm and composed manner.
I just wanted to tell her to walk out for a piece of me
Expressing a desire for her to be cautious or vigilant, as someone may take advantage.
Cause he’ll take you right back
Warning about someone who might try to win her back.
Oh no, I think I’ve fallen in it
Reiteration of the realization of falling in love, emphasizing the difficulty.
Oh no, it isn’t any use
Repeating the acknowledgment that the realization may not lead to a positive outcome.
Oh well, I should’ve left her sooner
Reflecting on the regret of not ending the relationship earlier.
Oh well, I should’ve left her sooner
Further expressing regret for not terminating the relationship sooner.
