Berlin
Discovering Love's Resilience in Berlin's Warm Embrace
Lyrics
Booked flights in the summer, while the prices were low
Planning and purchasing flights during the summer when prices were lower.
It's a break from each other, until everybody knows
Taking a break from each other publicly, making it known to everyone.
Well I guess Berlin was good for us
Reflecting positively on the impact Berlin had on their relationship.
Won't abandon ship, or make a fuss
Committing to staying in the relationship despite challenges without causing a scene.
It was warm for September, had drinks when we land
Describing a warm atmosphere in September upon arrival in Berlin and enjoying drinks.
And we held it together just like water through our hands
Metaphorically suggesting that they managed to keep things together but still lost control eventually, like water slipping through hands.
When I first met you it mattered more
Stating that the initial meeting with the partner held more significance.
Now you won’t eat food, sleep on the floor
Observing changes in the partner's behavior, such as refusal to eat and sleep normally.
But I have learned not to wait or listen out for
Learning not to wait for circumstances to change or hope for second chances.
Storms to abate or the sound of second chances
Continuing from line 9, acknowledging the futility of waiting for things to improve.
And I know now, as I knew then
Recognizing a truth both in the present and the past.
Though it’s easy to pretend
Admitting that it's easy to pretend or hide true feelings.
I’d rather lie to you
Expressing a willingness to lie to maintain the relationship rather than facing its problems.
Than pick us apart at the seams
Choosing to avoid confronting issues in the relationship to keep it intact.
Came down from the feeling, that we’re never alone
Feeling a sense of connection and not being alone but still choosing to disconnect.
I guess that’s the reason I blocked your number on my phone
Blocking the partner's number to create distance despite the shared feeling of not being alone.
Tried to call me late to ask me why
Reference to the partner trying to contact despite being blocked.
Do we complicate a little lie?
Questioning why they complicate things with lies despite understanding each other.
Cause I have learned not to wait or listen out for
Reiterating the lesson of not waiting for change or second chances.
Storms to abate or the sound of second chances
Continuing from line 19, acknowledging the futility of waiting for improvement.
And I know now, as I knew then
Reaffirming a known truth both in the present and the past.
Though it’s easy to pretend
Admitting that pretending or hiding feelings is easier.
I'd rather lie to you
Expressing a willingness to lie to maintain the relationship rather than facing its problems.
Than pick us apart at the seams
Choosing to avoid confronting issues in the relationship to keep it intact.
