Trigonometry of Love: Navigating Seasons, Mistakes, and Redemption
Lyrics
Greewich Meantime is mean to me
Feeling a sense of dissatisfaction or discomfort with the local time standard in Greenwich Meantime.
I mean time is too fast to see
Expressing the perception that time passes too quickly to be fully grasped or appreciated.
Many seasons, many loves
Reflecting on various seasons and relationships experienced.
As if your love was not enough
Suggesting that the love received was not sufficient or fulfilling.
From southern breeze
Describing a transition from warmer climates to colder ones.
To northern snow
Highlighting a metaphorical line that must be followed or respected.
There's a line that I must toe
Indicating the presence of other romantic interests that may divert attention.
Other girls fall in between
Suggesting the temptation posed by other women in contrast to a serene path.
To tempt me from this path serene
Emphasizing the impact of a significant change in perspective, represented by a 55-degree turn.
But you turned me 55 degrees
Continuing the theme of a transformative experience, possibly involving a specific angle or viewpoint.
And from that angle
Exploring insights gained from a particular perspective or mindset.
I can plainly see
Acknowledging self-awareness and realization of past mistakes.
All my crimes of misogyny
Confessing to past wrongs related to mistreatment of women.
It's trigonometry
Describing the analysis of one's actions using trigonometry, suggesting a complex examination.
Now we all know
Stating a common understanding that the sun sets, implying the inevitability of certain events.
That the sun must set
Asserting the reliability of natural patterns and laws.
Because it's never faltered yet
Reiterating the consistency of the sun setting as an established phenomenon.
But chaos theory says that it might
Introducing chaos theory as a concept that challenges established norms and predictability.
Defy the law, stay out all night
Suggesting the possibility of defying expectations and staying outside the norm.
Even nature can break the law
Acknowledging the potential for even nature to deviate from expected laws.
And I'm only human after all
Emphasizing human fallibility and imperfection despite natural laws.
So if I'm unfaithful
Admitting to unfaithfulness and cruelty as exceptions that highlight the rule of fidelity.
And sometimes cruel
Expressing acknowledgment of occasional wrongdoing and cruelty.
That's the exception
Defining exceptions as instances that reinforce the overarching rule or norm.
That proves the rule
Empty line without specific lyrical content.
After all the times
Expressing a realization and acceptance of the harm caused in turning away.
That I turned from you
Describing a complete circle of experiences, returning to the initial viewpoint.
I come full circle now
Symbolizing the reappearance and visibility of a significant person in one's life.
You're back in view
Observing and understanding the negative impact of one's actions.
And I can see
Recognizing and regretting the harm inflicted on the other person.
The harm I've done
Expressing the unintended nature of causing pain or tears.
I never meant to cause
Conveying remorse for the emotional distress caused to the significant other.
You pain or tears
Acknowledging the irreversible nature of past actions and their consequences.
And I know that I cannot make
Expressing the inability to undo the mistakes or erase the pain inflicted.
Up for all those years
Highlighting the impossibility of making amends for lost time or correcting past errors.
Or put the bullet back in the gun
Metaphorically referencing the irreversible nature of causing harm, using the imagery of a bullet leaving a gun.
