Conflict
Embracing Conflicts: Struggles Between Past and Present
Lyrics
I’m in conflict
I am experiencing internal struggle or disagreement
Both living in the moment and the past
Conflicted between embracing the present and dwelling on the past
Can’t resolve it
Unable to find a resolution to the internal conflict
Wonder how long will this present last
Curious about the duration of the current moment
And when I saw you standing there
Refers to encountering someone
I knew it was over
Realization that a relationship is ending or has ended
I’m in conflict
Reiteration of being in a state of conflict
Imagination shuffling the facts
Imagination causing confusion by rearranging facts
I’m at odds with
Struggling against success, facing setbacks
Success each time you’re giving me the axe
Experiencing failure or rejection when receiving support
And when I saw you standing there
Recalling a moment similar to line 5, indicating a repeated pattern
I knew it was over
Reaffirmation that a relationship has ended
And it’s not over
Contradiction, suggesting the situation is ongoing despite previous conclusion
‘Cuz I’m not over you
Expressing emotional attachment that persists
Even though we have been through
Acknowledging a significant duration of the relationship
For more than a year or two
Reflecting on the enduring nature of the connection
Still you’re my soul mate come true
Affirmation of the person being a true soul mate
And all I know how to do
Limited ability to express emotions, primarily playing music for the person
Is play my heartstring solo for you
Metaphorically playing heartfelt music for the person
Ooh-sha da da, ooh-sha da da, ooh-sha da da, ooh-sha da da,
Repetition of sounds, possibly representing emotional turmoil or confusion
Ooh-sha da da, ooh-sha da da, ooh-sha da da-ooooh
-But not to worry baby because
Describing oneself as inventive and creative
I’m invention
Claiming a creative approach to life
Creativity everywhere I go
Asserting creativity as a pervasive aspect of one's existence
I’m in conflict
Reiteration of being in conflict
Though I know innately deep down we both know
Despite knowing deep down, there is still internal conflict
Look at us sitting right there
Observing the present situation with someone
It’s clear we’re not over
Affirmation that the emotional connection is not fully resolved
