Lyrics
Between the life that we live
There is a distinction between the life we currently lead.
And the one that we image to live
Comparison between the actual life and the idealized one we aspire to.
There's always a mental space
An emotional or psychological gap exists between these two lives.
Between The life that we live
Reiteration of the contrast between real and supposed life.
And the one that we are supposed to live
Highlighting the expected life versus the authentic one.
Everything's been ordered and prepared
Everything is structured and arranged, suggesting a lack of spontaneity.
There's a life that everyone see
There exists a life visible to everyone, likely a public persona or facade.
And then
Transition to a more personal perspective.
There's The one that I (can) only see
Indication of a private, hidden life only known to the speaker.
The need to be happy
Expressing a fundamental human desire for happiness.
The need to be new
Expressing the desire for renewal or a fresh start.
Even when you think you' ve left no room (for...)
Suggesting challenges in finding space for positive change.
You built your own fortress of solitude
Metaphorically referencing self-isolation or emotional detachment.
Between The life that we need
Drawing a parallel between essential needs and idealized needs.
And The one that we image to need
Reflecting on the contrast between real and perceived needs.
There's always a mental space
Reiteration of the mental space between the two types of needs.
A quiet place has no rules
Describing a serene place free from conventional rules.
Except the one that matters
Emphasizing the importance of self-imposed rules.
Except for those that we impose on ourselves
Recognizing the rules individuals place upon themselves.
The need to be happy
Reiteration of the fundamental need for happiness.
The need to be new
Reiterating the desire for a fresh start or a new perspective.
Even when you think you' ve left no room (for...)
Continued challenges in making room for positive changes.
You built your own fortress of solitude
Reiteration of the theme of self-isolation or emotional detachment.
The need to be happy the need to be new
Restating the fundamental human need for happiness and renewal.
Even when you think you' ve left no room (for...)
Continued challenges in finding space for positive changes.
