Glad
Sweet and Sour Melodies: Unveiling Life's Bittersweet Symphony
Lyrics
Some sang their songs
Some people expressed themselves through songs.
Like they're flying on uppers
Some sang with an energized and elevated feeling, possibly influenced by stimulants.
So sweet and smug
These songs were sweet and self-satisfied.
That I lose my supper
The sweetness of these songs was overwhelming, causing a physical reaction like losing one's supper.
Some mumble psalms
Others recited psalms, expressing comfort and moral goodness.
Of solace and virtue
These psalms conveyed solace and virtue.
Hang by their palms
Some individuals clung to their beliefs but struggled and suffered as a result.
And choke on the cud they chew
They metaphorically hang by their palms, experiencing difficulty and discomfort.
I'm glad we met
The speaker expresses joy in meeting someone.
So sad you left
The departure of the person is a source of sadness.
Sometimes the sweetest things turn sour
Despite initial sweetness, some pleasant experiences turn bitter.
Love songs are cheap
Love songs are portrayed as inexpensive and decreasing in value.
And only get cheaper
They exploit vulnerable individuals, making them even more vulnerable.
They prey on the meek
These songs target the meek, making them feel even more submissive.
Who only get Meeker
The meek become even more subdued.
Cliches sung by stars
Clichés, often sung by celebrities, seem appealing on the surface.
Looks so good on paper
These clichés, when dissected, are shallow and lack substance.
Each bar fed to you
Each musical phrase is served as a faux spiritual experience.
A faux communion water
These musical phrases are insincere, like fake communion water.
Don't even think of being average
Don't settle for mediocrity; you are more valuable than just being adequate.
'Cause you're so much more to me than edequate
The speaker holds the person in high regard.
I'm hanging on to every word you speak
The speaker pays close attention to every word the person says.
I'll burn the torch until you come to me
The speaker is committed and dedicated, waiting for the person to reciprocate.
I'm glad we met
The speaker reiterates the joy of meeting the person.
So sad you left
The departure continues to evoke sadness.
Sometimes the sweetest things turn sour
Reiteration that even sweet experiences can turn bitter.
The time we spent
The time spent with the person is considered special and sent from heaven.
Was heaven sent
The experiences with the person have been eye-opening and captivating.
Opened my eyes and stole my hours
The person has had a significant impact on the speaker's time.
