Unveiling Hidden Depths: State Champs' 'The Recipe' Meaning
Lyrics
Who decided when the words came out?You said I couldn't have these selfish doubts, I know
The speaker questions who determined the timing of their spoken thoughts. They were told not to have self-centered uncertainties, acknowledging this fact.
But I'm thinking it's the fact that I can
The speaker contemplates that their ability to think might contribute to the situation at hand.
Your self destructing from the inside out
The subject is falling apart emotionally or mentally internally.
Never find a way to talk it out, I know
There seems to be a struggle to find a resolution through communication.
But I'm thinking it's the fact that I can
The speaker believes their capability to think plays a role in the situation.
But you wouldn't waste away those thoughts I never had
The person being addressed disregards or doesn't acknowledge the speaker's unspoken thoughts.
and you wouldn't waste away
Reiteration of the disregard for the speaker's unspoken thoughts.
Because it's honesty and things you promise me
The foundation of the relationship is built on honesty and promises.
Always on a list and growing constantlythen I saidI thought our love was just a recipe
The speaker initially believed their relationship was predictable, like following a recipe.
Who would've thought that it'd mean everything to me
The unexpected depth and significance of the relationship became apparent.
You know you're beautiful without that dress
Recognition of the partner's inherent beauty, irrespective of external attire.
If time is fleeting let's embrace this messI knowAnd if that's a fact you won't need it at all
The speaker suggests embracing the transient nature of time if the fact holds true.
But you wouldn't waste away those thoughts I never had
The person being addressed disregards or doesn't acknowledge the speaker's unspoken thoughts.
and you wouldn't waste away
Reiteration of the disregard for the speaker's unspoken thoughts.
Because it's honesty and things you promise me
The relationship is rooted in honesty and ongoing commitments.
Always on a list and growing constantlyThen I saidI thought our love was just a recipe
The speaker initially perceived their relationship as something predictable, like following a recipe, but now realizes its profound importance.
Who would've thought that it'd mean everythingAnd in the morning light we'll turn the wrongs to right
A belief that in the morning, things can be rectified and made right.
Rearrange the odds and we can save tonightI thought our love was just a recipeWho would've thought that it'd mean everything to me
Reiteration of the unexpected depth and significance of the relationship.
I wanna know what it's likeTo barely sleep through the night
The speaker desires to experience a carefree state, sleeping peacefully at night.
And not have a care at allAnd though I know it's been said I've had these doubts in my head
The acknowledgment of previous doubts but an inability to recall them currently.
But none that I can recall
The speaker cannot remember any specific doubts at this moment.
Because it's honesty and things you promise me
The foundation of the relationship remains in honesty and continuous promises.
Always on a list and growing constantlyThen I saidI thought our love was just a recipe
Reiteration of the initial perception that the relationship was predictable but now holds deeper meaning.
Who would've thought that it'd mean everythingAnd in the morning light we'll turn the wrongs to right
Reiteration of the unexpected depth and significance of the relationship.
Rearrange the odds and we can save tonightI thought our love was just a recipeWho would've thought that it'd mean everything to me
The belief that the relationship, initially perceived as predictable, now holds immense value.
