Love, the Impossible Ghost
Love's Elusive Dance: Unveiling the Meaning Behind Matt Holubowski's Melodic Poetry
Lyrics
Say you want to be my muse
Suggesting a desire for someone to inspire creativity
You don't really get to choose
Implying a lack of control in choosing who serves as inspiration
You're the gloom beneath the cloud
Describing the sadness or darkness within the situation
Somewhere else than I am now
Feeling distant or disconnected from the present
Oh, love
An expression of addressing the concept of love
Hope's a wicked thing to know
Highlighting the complexity of holding onto hope
When you think it's all a joke
Seeing life as a joke or not taking it seriously
Call me mister cynical
Identifying with cynicism, skepticism
Diogenes into the fold, I suppose
Referencing Diogenes, known for rejecting societal norms
That it feels better to be well
Implying feeling better physically than emotionally
Than in love's audit
Choosing well-being over the scrutiny of love
It feels better when you know that
Feeling empowered by having control
You've got it all under control
Emphasizing a sense of mastery or authority
Where's the way out, where's the door?
Expressing a desire to escape a situation
I can't stay here, I abhor it
Strongly disliking the present circumstances
Walk to safety, run to freedom
Choosing self-preservation over risking vulnerability
The separation works for me
Suggesting separation as beneficial for both parties
And for you
Implying mutual benefit in separation
Love the impossible ghost
Describing love as elusive and unattainable
How'd you come, and where'd you go?
Questioning the unpredictable nature of love
Finders keepers, that was the rule
Referencing a game-like approach to love
Oh, why'd you have to be so cruel?
Expressing frustration or hurt caused by love's unpredictability
