Better Than That
Embracing Love in a Hopeless World: Shadow Season's 'Better Than That' Meaning
Lyrics
Everyone is always looking for someone
Expressing the universal desire for companionship.
No one wants to be left all alone
Highlighting the fear of being abandoned or isolated.
Do you think things would be better
Pondering whether staying at home would improve the situation.
If I stayed at home
Suggesting a potential solution or escape from difficulties.
We're better than that
Asserting that individuals are capable of rising above challenges.
We're better. We're better than that
Reinforcing the idea that people possess the strength to overcome adversity.
You say this hopeless world
Describing the world as bleak and without opportunities.
Has nothing left to offer you
Indicating a sense of disillusionment or dissatisfaction with life's offerings.
Do you think that days would be brighter
Questioning if engaging in more activities would bring more joy.
If you had more to do
Suggesting a potential link between busyness and happiness.
We're better than that
Reiterating the theme of personal strength and resilience.
We're better. We're better than that
Emphasizing the collective strength of individuals in overcoming challenges.
Everyone, everyone's looking for someone
Repeating the universal quest for companionship.
No one wants to be left all alone, all alone
Reiterating the fear of loneliness or abandonment.
You say this hopeless world
Echoing the sentiment of a world devoid of hope.
Has nothing left to offer you
Reinforcing a negative perspective on the world's offerings.
Do you think that days would be brighter
Posing a question about the potential brightening of days through love.
If I said I love you
Suggesting the transformative power of expressing love.
We're better than that
Restating the belief in personal and collective strength.
We're better. We're better than that
Reiterating the idea that individuals can rise above challenges.
Suppose you're right. Suppose I'm wrong
Exploring the possibility of differing perspectives in a situation.
We all need someone to love
Highlighting the universal need for love and companionship.
We're better than that
Reaffirming the belief in personal and collective strength.
We all just need someone to love
Emphasizing the essential role of love in everyone's life.
Suppose you're right

Suppose I'm wrong. Suppose I'm wrong
Continuing to explore the potential for differing viewpoints.
Suppose you're right. Suppose I'm wrong

Suppose I'm wrong
Continuing the exploration of potential differences in viewpoints.
