Better Off
Embracing Heartbreak: Unraveling the Bittersweet Wisdom of 'Better Off'
Lyrics
Don't get so excited
Cautioning against excessive excitement or enthusiasm.
You're likely to hurt yourself.
Warning about the potential harm resulting from excessive excitement.
You're head looks disproportionate
Commenting on the appearance of imbalance or disproportion caused by intense effort.
From pushing too hard to believe
Suggesting that pushing too hard can distort one's perception of reality or beliefs.
You're not wrong,
Acknowledging the correctness of a perspective but suggesting it's better to believe it was only love.
Just better off thinking it was only love.
Emphasizing the benefit of thinking that a situation was solely based on love.
It hurts like a splinter stuck in your foot
Comparing emotional pain to a persistent physical discomfort, like a splinter.
And you've tried, but can't get it out.
Describing the difficulty of removing emotional pain despite sincere efforts.
And of course, you walk in the heat for miles.
Referencing a metaphorical journey through challenging circumstances.
You forget the pain, but it comes back after a while.
Highlighting the temporary relief from pain, but its eventual return.
You're not wrong,
Reiterating the acknowledgment of correctness while promoting the idea of framing it as only love.
Just better off thinking it was only love.
Encouraging the mindset that it's better to perceive the situation as rooted in love.
You're not wrong,
Restating the idea of being correct but emphasizing the benefit of thinking it was only love.
Just better off thinking it was only love, it was only love.
Repeating the notion that framing the experience as only love is advantageous.
You're not wrong,
Reiterating the acknowledgment of correctness while promoting the idea of framing it as only love.
Just better off thinking it was only love.
Encouraging the mindset that it's better to perceive the situation as rooted in love.
You're not wrong,
Restating the idea of being correct but emphasizing the benefit of thinking it was only love.
Just better off thinking it was only love,
Repeating the notion that framing the experience as only love is advantageous.
It was only love, it was only love, it was only love.
Emphasizing that the experience was indeed only love, reinforcing the idea.
