Square One
Square One: Unraveling Life's Game
Lyrics
It’s a process, it’s a game
Describing life as a series of actions and challenges.
We're the players, we rearrange
People are active participants in shaping situations.
All the rules, what’s up is down
Conventions and norms are constantly changing.
And now I’m lying here upon the ground
Feeling defeated or vulnerable in a situation.
The way we started we were fools
Initially, there was naivety or lack of understanding.
Starting loathing instead of loving
Choosing resentment over affection.
Loved ourselves thought we were cool
Having self-centered attitudes, believing they were impressive.
And now we made it, we reached much higher
Reaching a significant point, but emotions don't align.
Then why does my heart feel like it’s on fire?
Despite achievements, feeling intense emotional turmoil.
The steps we took
Reflecting on past actions or decisions.
Knew you just like you were an open book
Knowing someone well, understanding them clearly.
The way we crossed
Moving forward in the relationship.
All of your preconceptions they got lost
Challenging or defying expectations.
The words I spoke, oh how I just ruined all of our fun
Regretting saying things that spoiled the enjoyment.
It looks like we're back to square one
Returning to the starting point due to setbacks.
Some may say it, we had bliss
Some perceive the relationship as happy.
But I choose to misconstrue your friendliness
Choosing to misunderstand positive gestures.
Oh the stars they gave me signs
Seeing signs or hints from the universe.
What a shame your hand fits perfectly in mine
Expressing regret that the connection is so fitting.
I wish it weren’t, wasn't so
Wishing for a different situation or outcome.
But before the waves get crazy don't stay lazy I say row
Encouraging action before things get difficult.
Oh you can do it, been done before
Assuring capability despite challenges.
And I swear to God you'll have a million more of
There will be numerous opportunities.
The steps we took
Reiteration of knowing someone well.
Knew you just like you were an open book
Emphasizing familiarity or understanding of a person.
The way we crossed
Moving through obstacles or misconceptions.
All of your preconceptions they got lost
Defying assumptions or prejudices.
The words I spoke, oh how I just ruined all of our fun
Regretting actions that spoiled enjoyment again.
It looks like we're back to square one
Reverting back to an initial stage due to difficulties.
Oh I’m talking about
Reflecting again on past actions or decisions.
The steps we took
Reiteration of knowing someone well.
Knew you just like you were an open book
Emphasizing familiarity or understanding of a person.
The way we crossed
Moving through obstacles or misconceptions.
All of your preconceptions they got lost
Defying assumptions or prejudices.
The words I spoke, oh how I just ruined all of our fun
Regretting actions that spoiled enjoyment again.
It looks like we're back to square one
Returning to the beginning due to difficulties once more.
