Estranged
Love's Dichotomy: Navigating Heart and Logic in Julia Church's 'Estranged'
Lyrics
I float forward with a different tide
I move forward with a different current or direction.
Then we're like boats passing in the night
We are like ships passing each other in the night, not connecting.
Head it doesn't do what heart wants to
Intellectually, I know what I should do, but my heart desires something else.
Hearts fragmented in the shape of you
My emotions are broken into pieces that resemble you.
'Cause my love and my logic are estranged
There is a disconnection between my love and my logical thinking.
Different pages when my truth and my tears feel sincere
My truth and my tears express sincerity, but they are on different pages.
I'm aware that I'm disconnected
I am conscious that I am emotionally detached.
From all of this, not expected, incoherent
I am disconnected from everything, and this detachment is unexpected and confusing.
Muddle my words of my perspective
I mix up my words, making it difficult to convey my perspective.
I'm hanging from my loving heart
I am emotionally hanging by the thread of my loving heart.
Your love is pulling me from both sides
Your love is pulling me in conflicting directions.
All I want is to be close enough to feel something
All I desire is to be close enough to experience something emotional.
So, morning it's a different fuel
Morning brings a different source of energy or motivation.
New light making it a whole less real
New light makes reality seem less tangible or significant.
But just 'cause you leave
Leaving and returning is not sufficient to bridge the emotional gap.
And come back again, it's not enough
Despite returning, the absence is not compensated for.
'Cause I miss you and you should know that missing you is no fun
Missing you is not an enjoyable experience, and you should be aware of it.
'Cause my love and my logic are estranged (My love, my logic)
There is a disconnection between my love and logical thinking (repeated).
Different pages when my truth and my tears feel sincere (My truth, my tears)
My truth and tears are sincere but exist on different pages (repeated).
I'm aware that I'm disconnected
I am consciously aware of my emotional detachment (repeated).
From all of this, not expected, incoherent
I am disconnected unexpectedly, causing confusion (repeated).
Muddle my words of my perspective
I struggle to express my perspective coherently due to emotional confusion (repeated).
I'm hanging from my loving heart (Loving heart)
I am emotionally hanging by the thread of my loving heart (repeated).
Your love is pulling me from both sides (Both sides)
Your love is pulling me in conflicting directions (repeated).
All I want is to be close enough to feel something
All I desire is to be close enough to experience something emotional (repeated).
(My love, my logic)
Reiteration of the disconnection between love, logic, truth, and tears.
(My truth, my tears)
-Disconnected (My love, my logic)
-Disconnected (My truth, my tears)
-Disconnected from all of this, not expected, incoherent
Continued sense of disconnection, unexpected detachment, and incoherence.
Muddle my words of my perspective
Repetition of struggling to express a coherent perspective.
I'm hanging from my loving heart
Emotionally hanging by the thread of a loving heart (repeated).
And your love is pulling me from both sides
Your love is pulling me in conflicting directions (repeated).
All I want is to be close enough to feel something
All I desire is to be close enough to experience something emotional (repeated).
All I want is to be close enough to feel something
The repeated desire to be close enough to feel something emotional.
All I want is to be close enough, close enough
The reiterated yearning to be close enough emotionally.
