The Other
Love's Journey: Embracing Imperfections and Defying Conventions
Lyrics
The first time you saw me you thought I was full of myself
The observer initially perceived the speaker as arrogant or self-centered.
I thought you were sexy a trophy to put on my shelf
The speaker found the observer attractive and considered them as a symbol of achievement.
This is the story of how we first met
Describing the narrative of their first encounter.
It keeps getting better and better and yet…
Despite challenges, their relationship has consistently improved.
Here we are
Repetition emphasizing their current situation.
Here we are
-The world is turning one way but we could go the other
Expressing a desire to go against the norm and take a different path in life.
This is how we like it and how it’s gonna stay
Stating a preference for their unconventional approach to life.
Not perfect for each other but you take away my emptiness
Acknowledging imperfections in the relationship but highlighting the partner's role in filling emotional voids.
Together with my sorrow and make it go away
Partner's support helps in coping with sorrow and makes it disappear.
We skyped our way through a long-distance cross-country affair
Describing a long-distance relationship managed through video calls.
Now it gets kinda crowded in the tiny apartment we share
Despite the challenges, their living space is now cramped due to shared living arrangements.
The neighbors can hear us shouting a lot
Neighbors can hear frequent arguments.
If we had a penny for each time that we fought
Arguments have become a common occurrence.
And here we are
Reiteration of their current situation.
Here we are
-The world is turning one way but we could go the other
Reaffirming the desire to defy societal norms and continue their unique path.
This is how we like it and how it’s gonna stay
Expressing contentment with their unconventional lifestyle.
Not perfect for each other but you take away my emptiness
Recognizing the relationship's imperfections but emphasizing emotional fulfillment provided by the partner.
Together with my sorrow and make it go away
Partner's support alleviates the speaker's emptiness and sorrow.
We could doing it wrong but who are we to say
Acknowledging the possibility of unconventional choices that may be judged by others.
What’s wrong for someone else, for us could be the right way
Suggesting that what might be deemed wrong by others could be the right choice for them.
The world is turning one way but we could go the other…
Repeating the desire to go against the norm.
This is how we like it and how it’s gonna stay
Reiterating contentment with their unconventional lifestyle.
Not perfect for each other but you take away my emptiness
Acknowledging the relationship's imperfections but highlighting emotional fulfillment provided by the partner.
Together with my sorrow and make it go away
Partner's support continues to alleviate emptiness and sorrow.
The first time you saw me you thought I was full of my self
Repeating the initial perception of the speaker as arrogant or self-centered.
I still am
The speaker still retains some level of self-centeredness.
