Low

Love's Ambiguous Gravity

Lyrics

I thought it was time

I believed it was the appropriate moment

Time to fall in love

The right time to experience love

I thought it was right

I thought my judgment was correct

Then why do I feel so low?

Despite that, why am I experiencing deep sadness?


I remember when we first met

Recollection of our initial meeting

Starry eyed, heart sleeve wearers

We were optimistic and emotionally expressive

In that wide open space

In a vast, open setting

No future I could imagine

Unable to foresee any future

Beyond the sunshine days

Except for the joyous, carefree moments

Surfboards on the golf cart down to the beach

Recounting a carefree activity, suggesting happier times

We went down and we stayed

We went down to the beach and stayed

Until the sun went down

Until the daylight faded

And I saw the moon on your face

Observing emotions reflected in the moonlight


I thought it was time

Reiteration of the belief that it was the right time for love

Time to fall in love

The anticipated period to fall in love

I thought it was right

Reaffirmation of the perception that it was appropriate

Then why do I feel so low?

Despite this, there's a prevailing sense of emptiness


It's always been like gravity between us

Describing a strong attraction or connection

Time and space can't deny the pull

Time and space can't prevent the emotional bond

I guess we're just orbiting

Suggesting a continuous but unsettled connection

Is that why we couldn't settle?

Questioning if the inability to settle is due to this orbit


You said love with no strings

Reference to a commitment-free type of love

At least you said that's what you wanted

Stating your expressed desire for a non-committal relationship

Three days we didn't talk and right before my show

Recollection of an incident involving a temporary break in communication

Your brother showed up

A confrontation with a family member during a vulnerable time

And tried to break my nose

Violent encounter suggested by the attempt to break the nose


And I wonder if you remember

Reflecting on a past incident

That time I took those mushrooms and you loft your phone

A symbolic event involving altered perceptions

How perfectly symbolic

Symbolism highlighting the miscommunication in the relationship

Of our miscommunicated attempt at love

Expressing the failure of the attempt at love due to miscommunication


I thought it was time

Reiteration of the belief that it was the right time for love

Time to fall in love

The perceived appropriate period to fall in love

Maybe I was right

Questioning the accuracy of the initial perception

Then why do I feel so low?

Despite the belief, there's an overwhelming sense of sadness
