All of you guys are RETARDED. This song is about what most normal people DO. Nothing ever lasts, whether it is good or bad. People go through bad times in their life and you have to be strong enough to get through it or else you will get swallowed by it, right? Right. So what about the good things? Of course they pass too because, overall, change is meant to come into your life for you to know what "living" feels like. If everything stayed perfect, then nothing would be perfect because it would be the same sh** everyday, all the time. That, my friends, is when the bad comes in. You get bored, or try to force something to work that is just not working anymore, therefore you get angry, upset, etc etc. WHICH IS WHY THIS SONG IS SO PERFECT. LYRIC BREAKDOWN "you're beautiful, that's for sure. You'll never ever fade" -someone's own individuality, when they're not hiding who they really are, is truly beautiful and unique (You're Beautiful, That's For Sure). there's no one person who is exactly the same, you can never change or "fix" who you really are bcs that's how you were born (You'll never ever fade) "you're lovely, but that's not forsure. I won't ever change" -basically saying 'yes, you're lovely RIGHT NOW, but I'm not changing myself for you so will you still be lovely when you come to that realization?' "though my love is rare, though my love is true.. I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away. I don't know where my soul is.. I don't know where my home is. And baby all I need for you to know is.." -when you finally meet that someone you just have absolutely unconditional love for, you KNOW it. No games, or any of that BS. It's real true love and whether you believe it or not, it only happens very rarely. But nothing ever lasts, doors close so that others can open. things die so that more things can grow. she's just being honest... there will come a time where she will have to leave. most likely because the other person will not have the strength to do so. "Your faith in me brings me to tears Even after all these years And it pains me so much to tell That you don't know me that well And though my love is rare Though my love is true...CHORUS" -its heart breaking to see someone you love, not letting go of something that is leaving them. you can't force something to work when it's not working, you will only make it worse, thus ruining it even more. at that point you just become two totally different people, it's hard to have even a normal friendship like before, after having that much pain in trying to hold onto it all.. "It's not that I wanna say goodbye It's just that every time you try to tell me that you love me Each and every single day I know I'm going to have to eventually give you away And though my love is rare And though my love is true Hey I'm just scared That we may fall through" -Ofcourse you don't want to say goodbye.. you never want something good to end, that's why there's so much pain after it (bad times) because you cannot control something outside of yourself. you can't control nature. she knows it's coming to an end (or WILL come to its end) and even though the "I-love-you's" are exchanged, she knows not to get to tangled into their shit bcs it'll only be harder in the end for herself when she has to leave the relationship. She's scared of getting too close, bcs of the risk of it all falling through if she loses herself in it. This song is amazing, it's so true. |
