The Harmony
Chasing Harmony: Navigating Love's Struggle in 'The Harmony'
Lyrics
You and I, we owned the truth
You and I, collectively, held the truth.
Our whole life, reality
Our entire life was based on reality.
We settle, we promise everything
We settled and made promises encompassing everything.
Here on the outskirts, life suits me
Here on the outskirts, life suits me.
And oh my love, I hope you know, I’ve kept that love, I’ve kept it close
Expressing love and the commitment to keeping it close.
But harmony, it has escaped me, and the world becomes too fast, and if I were a gambling man,
Harmony has eluded the speaker, and the world's pace is overwhelming. Expressing skepticism about trusting it, using a gambling metaphor.
I would not trust it by half, for the world becomes too fast, and I do my best to understand
Continuation of skepticism toward the fast-paced world, and the speaker strives to comprehend it.
The paths they became so light, words of love and promises
The paths became easier, filled with words of love and promises.
Distance became every day, and best intentions, they drift away
Distance increased in everyday life, and good intentions started to fade away.
And Oh my love, I hope you know, I kept that love I kept it close
Reiteration of keeping love close.
But harmony, it has escaped me, and the words came out too fast, and if I were a gambling man, I would not trust them by half, for the words came out too fast, and I do my best to understand
Similar to lines 8-9, expressing the escape of harmony, fast words, and a gambling metaphor for trust.
We could still have them all, you know
Expressing the possibility of having it all - peaceful moments and relaxation.
Our quiet hours, our rest at ease
Emphasizing quiet hours and restful times.
Safety in each other’s arms,
Security found in each other's arms.
each other’s plans, each other’s dreams
Mutual plans and dreams shared between the speaker and the addressed person.
And oh my love, I hope you know, I’ve kept that love, I’ve kept that hope
Reassurance of keeping love and hope intact.
But harmony, it has escaped me, and the world becomes too fast, and if I were a gambling man,
Restatement of the challenges with harmony and skepticism toward the fast-paced world.
I would not trust it by half, for the world becomes too fast, and I do my best to understand
Continuation of skepticism and the struggle to comprehend the rapidly changing world.
