In the Quicksand
Love's Quicksand: Navigating Differences, Sinking Together
Lyrics
Your father never liked me anyway
Your father disapproved of me from the start.
Your mother would tell you that she hates me everyday
Your mother expresses her dislike for me regularly.
Our political views couldn't be farther from eachother
We have opposing political views.
And everytime we argue, its always getting harder
Our arguments are becoming more challenging each time.
We knew it wouldn't work but we kept on staying longer
We were aware our relationship was failing, but we prolonged it.
And now the sinkings lesser
The sinking feeling of the relationship is diminishing.
But we will sink together
Despite the challenges, we will face the consequences together.
We both saw it coming and we didn't do a thing
We foresaw the end but did nothing to prevent it.
Yet you listen to every stupid song that I sing
You pay attention to my songs despite our impending breakup.
Oh, oh
Expression of emotion, possibly frustration or realization.
And we might not know what to do but I know who we'll be, ohhh
We may be uncertain about the future, but I know who we will become.
We wrote out names in the quicksand
We left a mark or made an impact, symbolized by writing our names in the quicksand.
We both saw it coming and we didn't do a thing
Reiteration of foreseeing the end without taking action.
Yet you listen to every stupid song that I sing
Despite the impending breakup, you still engage with my creative expression (songs).
Oh, oh
Expression of emotion, possibly frustration or realization (similar to line 11).
And we might not know what to do but I know who we'll be, ohhh
We may be uncertain about the future, but I know who we will become (similar to line 12).
We wrote out names in the quicksand
We left a lasting mark or memory by writing our names in the quicksand.
