Statue
Love Beyond the Surface: Unmasking Perfection in Olivia Grasso's 'Statue'
Lyrics
I don’t wanna be in love with a statue
I don’t want to be romantically involved with someone who appears perfect and unapproachable.
An edge of perfection untouchable depth and
Describing the person as having an edge of perfection and depth that seems untouchable.
No way to get through
Expressing difficulty in connecting or communicating with this person.
oh oh oh
Repetition for emphasis or emotional expression.
I love the idea
Expressing admiration for the concept of love but urging clarity.
But let’s just make the point real clear
Emphasizing the need to be straightforward and realistic about love.
It’s more than pretty little fantasies
Love is more than idealistic fantasies.
It’s more than you and I can see
Love has deeper dimensions beyond what is immediately apparent.
From here it should be deeper
Expressing a desire for deeper connections in love.
More than scrolling more than creeping
Suggesting that love should be more meaningful than casual scrolling or superficial involvement.
You could fall apart
Pointing out that one can emotionally unravel or break down.
From far away look like a piece of art
Observing that from a distance, love may seem perfect like a piece of art.
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Repetition for emphasis or emotional expression.
When I get closer
Noticing changes when getting closer to the person.
It shows, it shows, it shows, I know, I know
Revealing that the true nature of the person becomes evident with proximity.
I don’t wanna be in love with a statue
Reiteration of not wanting to be in love with someone seemingly perfect and distant.
An edge of perfection untouchable depth and
Describing the person again as having an edge of perfection and untouchable depth.
No way to get through
Repeating the challenge of breaking through and connecting with this person.
oh oh oh oh
Repetition for emphasis or emotional expression.
I don’t wanna be in love with a statue
Reiteration of not wanting to be romantically involved with a seemingly perfect person.
It feels like an art
Acknowledging that love feels like an art from a distance.
From a distance convincing myself
Convincing oneself that loving from afar is not difficult.
It’s not hard
Suggesting that maintaining love at a distance may not be challenging.
oh oh oh oh
Repetition for emphasis or emotional expression.
It’s easy to believe
Believing in the destined nature of the relationship.
That we were meant to be
Expressing the conviction that the two individuals are meant to be together.
That’s what an idea of a person
Highlighting the impact of one's perception of a person on their judgment.
Can do to your discernment
Stating that an idealized image of a person can influence one's ability to judge accurately.
I want something more permanent
Expressing a longing for something more permanent in love.
My minds a dangerous dreamer

Repetition for emphasis or emotional expression.
