She Said It Was Destiny
Destiny's Dance of Love: Richard Thompson's Melodic Reflection
Lyrics
Is this the togetherness, she meant so rosy
Questioning if the closeness she spoke of was genuine
I thought we'd share a continent so cosy
Expectation of sharing a comfortable life together
I thought love's passions really
Anticipation of deeper emotional connection in love
Would be more touchy feely
Expressing a desire for more intimacy in the relationship
She said it was destiny
Referring to her claim that their connection was destined
She said it was written somewhere
Stating her belief that their fate was written somewhere
But if it was destiny
Raising doubt about destiny due to their physical separation
Why am I over here and she's over there?
Expressing confusion about being apart if destiny is true
She said it was in the stars
Acknowledging her belief in a preordained connection
Something that just had to be
Highlighting the inevitability she sees in their relationship
But Venus aligned with Mars
Humorously commenting on astrological influences on emotions
Always really takes it out of me
Expressing the emotional toll of celestial alignments
Oh, I'm not proud of my deceit, you know that
Admitting guilt and remorse for deceptive actions
To come so near and then retreat, you know that
Reflecting on the hesitancy and withdrawal in the relationship
One beat before I fell
Describing a moment just before a personal setback
Somewhere I heard a bell ring, ring
Noticing a signal or realization indicated by a bell
She said it was destiny
Reiterating her claim about destiny shaping their connection
She said it was written somewhere
Emphasizing the belief that their fate is predetermined
But if it was destiny
Questioning destiny due to their physical separation
Why am I over here and she's over there?
Expressing the disconnection between their locations
There's clouds across my crystal ball, too misty
Indicating uncertainty about the future through metaphor
Was I too quick to give it all when she kissed me?
Reflecting on the speed of emotional investment in the past
She's thrown a net on me, razor wire geometry
Describing a feeling of being ensnared with complicated emotions
She said it was destiny
Repeating her assertion about destiny shaping their relationship
She said it was written somewhere
Reiterating the belief that their fate is recorded somewhere
But if it was destiny
Expressing doubt about destiny given their current situation
Why am I over here and she's over there?
Questioning the logic of being separated if destiny is true
She said it was in the stars
Affirming her conviction that their connection is celestial
Something that just had to be
Highlighting the perceived inevitability of their relationship
But Venus aligned with Mars
Humorously expressing the draining nature of celestial alignments
Always really takes it out of me
Describing the emotional toll of specific planetary conjunctions
