Another Way to Die
Unveiling Love's Architectural Maze
Lyrics
Got a piano but I don't know how to play
Expressing a lack of skill in playing the piano
Thought maybe I could learn and then I'd write this song that way
Considering learning the piano to create a song
'Cause this is nothing usual
Highlighting an unusual or unique situation
I'm going against the grain
Choosing to go against conventional norms
Going against the grain
Emphasizing the decision to resist conformity
Going against the grain
-You were right in front of me
Realizing someone important is nearby
The entire time
Recognition of missed opportunities in hindsight
And I just started peeling back
Starting to understand the person's true nature
The layers of your design
Exploring the complexities of the person's character
The layers of your design
Repetition for emphasis on uncovering layers
You've got a million walls I don't know how to climb
Describing the challenges of understanding someone with many barriers
Baby, I could scale them all if I could learn to fly
Expressing willingness to overcome obstacles for love
But cinderblocks and bricks is just another way to die
Metaphorically portraying difficulties as "cinderblocks and bricks"
Another way to die
Reiterating the theme of facing challenges in relationships
Another way to die
-You were right in front of me
Realizing the missed opportunity of recognizing love
The entire time
Reflecting on overlooked signs of affection
And I just started peeling back
Continuing to uncover the person's true nature
The layers of your design
Persisting in understanding the layers of the person
The layers of your design
Repetition for emphasis on revealing layers
Oooh ooh ooh ooh oooh
Expressing emotional resonance with an indistinct vocalization
Oooh ooh ooh ooh oooh
-It's in your humble space
Describing the person's space as modest and unpretentious
Your vast expanse of charm and grace
Highlighting the person's charm and grace
And when your love is fierce beyond compare
Commending the person's intense and unmatched love
It gets me there
Expressing the impact of the person's love
You were right in front of me
Realizing the constant presence of the person
The entire time
Reiterating the theme of overlooked opportunities
And I just started peeling back
Continuing to peel back the layers of the person's character
The layers of your design
Persisting in the process of understanding the person
'Cause broken wings and worn out strings
Connecting brokenness and wear with signs of life
Still show signs of life
Highlighting resilience in the face of challenges
But cinderblocks and bricks is just
Reiterating the metaphor of obstacles as "cinderblocks and bricks"
Another way to die
Emphasizing the theme of challenges as potential ways to fail
Cinderblocks and bricks is just
-Another way to die
Repetition for emphasis on challenges leading to potential failure
Cinderblocks and bricks is just
-Another way to die
Final emphasis on the theme of challenges as a risk of failure
