Better Things
Finding Freedom and Magic in Relationships
Lyrics
Don't drag me down
Request not to bring the speaker down.
Just because you're down
Despite your low state, don't affect the speaker negatively.
And just 'cause you're blue
Just because you're feeling sad.
Don't make me too
Don't make the speaker feel the same way.
Although you've found
Although you've discovered beauty beyond the speaker.
Beauty more than me
Comparison with someone or something more beautiful.
Don't talk to me
Don't discuss the concept of freedom with the speaker.
About being free
Specifically, freedom without love.
That's freedom without love
Describing the undesirable nature of freedom without love.
And magic without love
Mentioning the lack of magic when love is absent.
Magic without love
Reiteration of the idea that magic requires love.
Here we're safe
Expressing a sense of safety or refuge.
Better things will surely come our way
Anticipating better things in the future.
Hear me say
A confirmation of the optimistic outlook.
Better things will surely come our way
Reiteration of the belief in a positive future.
You say the magic's gone
Addressing the claim that magic is lost.
Well I'm not a magician
Rejecting the idea of being a magician.
You say the spark's gone
Dismissing the notion that the spark is gone.
Well get an electrician
Suggesting a practical solution - get an electrician.
And save your line about needing to be free
Rejecting the idea of needing to be free.
Ah, that's bullshit babe
Labeling the notion as untrue or insincere.
You just won't let it be
Insinuating that the issue lies in not letting things be.
You want freedom without love
Desire for freedom without the requirement of love.
And magic without love
Similar to line 11, emphasizing the necessity of love for magic.
Magic without love
Reiteration of the idea that magic requires love.
Yeah
Expressing agreement or acknowledgement.
Here we're safe
Reiteration of the sense of safety or security.
Better things will surely come our way
Restating the belief in a positive future.
Hear me say
Reiterating the optimistic outlook for better things.
Better things will surely come our way
