Lyrics
'The how' I can't recall
The speaker cannot remember the method or manner ('how') of reaching the current situation.
But I'm staring at what once was the wall
The speaker is observing a change in a barrier (wall) that used to divide east and west.
Separating east and west
The wall, which symbolizes separation, is no longer there, and east and west now converge in broad daylight.
Now they meet amidst the broad daylight
Describes the meeting of east and west, suggesting a significant change or coming together.
So this is where you are, and this is where I am
The speaker acknowledges their current position and that of the other person, emphasizing spatial awareness.
Somewhere between unsure and a hundred
The speaker is in a state between uncertainty and a clear understanding, expressed metaphorically as 'a hundred.'
It's hard, I must confess
The speaker admits to finding the situation challenging and relies on time ('the rest') to bring clarity.
I'm banking on the rest to clear away
The speaker is hopeful that time will resolve uncertainties.
'Cause we have spoken everything
Refers to extensive communication but stops short of expressing the deepest feelings ('I love you').
Everything short of 'I love you'
There is a hesitancy or omission in fully expressing emotions, perhaps out of fear or uncertainty.
You, right where you are, from right where I am
The speaker recognizes the other person's location and emphasizes the distance between uncertainty and clarity.
Somewhere between unsure and a hundred
Reiterates the state of being between uncertainty and a clear understanding.
And who's to say it's wrong?
Raises questions about moral judgment or societal norms regarding the current situation.
And who's to say that it's not right
Questions the validity of judgments about the situation, suggesting that it may be both right and wrong.
Where we should be for now?
Ponders the appropriateness of the current state, questioning whether it is the right place to be at this moment.
So this is where you are, and this is where I am
Repeats the acknowledgment of the current positions of both the speaker and the other person.
So this is where you are, and this is where I've been
Emphasizes the speaker's journey, indicating that uncertainty has been experienced in the past.
Somewhere between unsure and a hundred
Reiterates the state of being between uncertainty and a clear understanding, suggesting a continuous struggle.
