Better off Alone
Unraveling Bonds: A Tale of Strength, Regret, and Solitude
Lyrics
Stronger than a tether to the moon
Expressing a strong connection, even stronger than something as strong as a tether to the moon.
Was the bond that tethered me to you
The strong bond that connected the speaker to someone else.
Sorry that I wasn't bulletproof
Apology for not being invincible or impervious to harm.
Holes you saw right through
Being transparent or vulnerable; the other person could see through the speaker's weaknesses or flaws.
Better off alone
Believing it's better to be alone or separate from the other person.
Faster than a bolt out of the blue
Quick and sudden departure, similar to lightning.
Were the feet that carried me to you
The swift movement toward the other person.
Sorry that my aim just wasn't true
Regret for not meeting expectations or being accurate in actions or intentions.
Arrows broke in two
Efforts or attempts failed, just like arrows breaking.
Better off alone
Reiteration of the belief that being alone is preferable.
Saw you yesterday across the room
Observation of seeing the person the day before across the room.
Never has a smile faded so soon
Noticing how quickly a smile disappeared upon seeing someone.
As the moment she came into view
Describing the impact of another person's beauty on the moment.
Oh so beautiful
Emphasizing the exceptional beauty of the person seen.
Better off alone
Restating the belief that being alone is a preferable state.
Stronger than a tether to the moon
Reiteration of a strong connection, similar to the earlier line about the moon.
Fast than a bolt out of the blue
Repetition of the swiftness mentioned earlier, reinforcing a sense of suddenness.
Saw you yesterday across the room
Recollection of seeing the person from the day before.
Arrows broke in two
Reiteration of failed attempts or efforts, echoing the broken arrows.
Better off alone
Reasserting the belief that it's better to be alone.
Better off alone
Repetition for emphasis on preferring solitude.
Glad you found your home
Expressing satisfaction or contentment that the other person has found their place or home, separate from the speaker.
Better off alone
Reaffirmation of the belief in the preference for solitude.
