Mated
Eternal Bond: Unveiling the Profound Meaning of Todd Rundgren's 'Mated'
Lyrics
Everyone asks
People frequently inquire
Are we some kind of lovers?
Are we perceived as a romantic couple?
Everyone asks what you're doing with me
People question why you're in a relationship with me
I know this is not what they want
I understand that our relationship is not their preference
They're afraid you've been blinded
They fear that you might be influenced negatively
But I already know how it's going to be
I already anticipate how our relationship will unfold
If anyone should ask
If someone inquires about us
Say we're mated
Declare that we are committed
For as long as this life lasts
For the duration of our lives
We are mated
We are deeply connected
Why else would you be here right now
Why else would you choose to be with me at this moment?
And you know we'll still be here tomorrow
Assurance that our connection will persist into the future
Nobody else understands what I'm doing
No one else comprehends my actions
Nobody else makes me act in this way
No one else elicits these emotions in me
And because they can't comprehend
Due to their inability to understand
What we mean to each other
The depth of our connection
They won't leave you alone
They won't leave you in peace
So you know what to say
Advise on what to communicate
I hold you in my heart
You are deeply cherished in my emotions
'Cause we're mated
We are intertwined and committed
In a very special part
In a uniquely significant way
We are mated
Our connection is profound
Why else would I be here right now
Reason for my current presence with you
And you know I'll still be here tomorrow
And my commitment to you extends into the future
I see things far ahead, maybe light
I foresee a future, perhaps with illumination
Maybe beautiful children
Possibly with beautiful offspring
I don't have words I'm thinking of
My thoughts are profound, beyond the definition of love
But it's way beyond what they call love
It transcends the conventional understanding of love
