Embracing Predictable Endings: Nina Cobham's Evocative Musical Reflection
Lyrics
I fall asleep to things I’ve seen a hundred times, to me its comforting to know
I find solace in falling asleep to familiar scenes, even if I've seen them many times.
that the ending’s predictable
The outcome or conclusion is expected or known in advance, bringing comfort.
My heart doesn’t fall into my stomach every time I get a message from you anymore
Receiving messages from you no longer causes intense emotional reactions in my heart.
thats an achievement on its own
Not being deeply affected by your messages is an accomplishment in itself.
It’s not nice that its not fair, so absentmindedly unaware of it
Although it's unpleasant that things aren't fair, I am unintentionally oblivious to it.
but I’d rather it was this, than the other way around
I prefer the current situation, even if it's not nice, over the alternative.
It’s never nice when it’s not fair, I’m just grateful that you’re here
Even when things are unfair, I appreciate your presence.
I’ve had the the time to readjust and I just haven’t yet
I've had time to adapt, but I haven't done so yet.
Te hice una lista de mis canciones favoritas
I made a list of my favorite songs for you.
Didn’t think you’d even read them, pay attention the way that he does
Surprisingly, you paid attention to the list, unlike someone else.
I can’t make you a playlist, I just cried to the one that I made him
I can't create a playlist for you like I did for someone else because of the emotional connection.
heard that song too many times and now I hate it
A song I once loved became unpleasant after hearing it too many times.
I fall asleep to things I’ve seen a hundred times, to me its comforting to know
Repetition of the theme of finding comfort in familiar things before sleep.
that the endings predictable
The predictability of the ending continues to bring comfort.
My heart doesn’t fall into my stomach every time I get a message from you anymore
Messages from you no longer evoke a strong emotional response.
thats an achievement on its own
Not being deeply affected by your messages is a noteworthy accomplishment.
It’s not nice that it’s not fair, so absentmindedly unaware of it
Despite the unfairness, I am unaware of it in a distracted manner.
but I’d rather it was this, than the other way around
I prefer the current situation, even if it's not nice, over the alternative.
It’s never nice when its not fair, I’m just grateful that you’re here
Even in unfair situations, I express gratitude for your presence.
I’ve had the the time to readjust and I just haven’t yet
I've had time to adapt, but I haven't done so yet (repeated).
CDs and DVDs, I like to keep physical memories of the things that I love
I like to keep physical mementos of the things I love, such as CDs and DVDs.
(I know I say it a lot)
A acknowledgment of frequently expressing this sentiment.
That voicenote my friend sent to me, I saved it,
I save voicenotes as tangible memories, like the one my friend sent me.
must’ve played it once a day, every day, at least for a month
I played the saved voicenote daily, gradually reducing its necessity.
(’til I didn’t need it so much)
Eventually, the voicenote became less essential to me.
Could you tell your friend I watched that film he recommended?
Passing along a message to tell your friend about watching the recommended film.
I’m happy that it had the type of ending I predicted when we spoke about it before all this happened
Expressing contentment that the film had the predicted ending discussed earlier.
I’ve had the time to readjust and I just haven’t
I've had time to adapt, but I haven't done so yet (repeated).
(There’s something comforting about falling asleep to this programme again)
There's something comforting about falling asleep to a familiar program again.
mhmm y empezamos otra vez
A casual expression, signaling the restart or continuation of a situation.
