Will to Work it Out
Beyond Disagreements: Unraveling the Deeper Message in 'Will to Work it Out' by Pretty Good Not Bad
Lyrics
There's a creature in my head
There's a presence of internal conflict or turmoil within the speaker.
And I don't know where its gonna go
Uncertainty about the future actions or direction resulting from this inner turmoil.
Or where it's been
Uncertainty about the origin or history of this internal struggle.
There's a preacher in my head
The presence of a guiding or moral influence within the speaker's thoughts.
And I just wanna let him know I've grown
An intention to communicate personal growth to this internal moral compass.
To be above average
An aspiration to exceed normal or average standards.
I just wanna hear you say it
The speaker seeks validation or affirmation from an unspecified source.
You seem better off now
Recognition that the other party seems to be doing better currently.
There was never even a disagreement
There were no significant conflicts or disagreements previously.
Your hearts were so much bigger than your
The other parties involved had larger hearts or were more compassionate than their resolve to resolve issues.
Will to Work it Out
The lack of willingness to resolve conflicts or issues between parties.
Now you're living so far away
Distance separates the speaker from someone important who is doing fine.
And you seem to be doing okay
Confirmation that the distant person seems to be managing life satisfactorily despite the separation.
With the fourth one on the way
Indication of a new child or pregnancy in the distant person's life.
I just wanna hear you say it
The speaker seeks confirmation or validation from an unspecified source.
You seem better off now
Recognition that the other party seems to be doing better currently.
There was never even a disagreement
There were no significant conflicts or disagreements previously.
Your hearts were so much bigger than your
The other parties involved had larger hearts or were more compassionate than their resolve to resolve issues.
