    Well you don’t like that way that I am (is not the way)
    Way that you want and the way you understand (but I can’t)
    Can’t help being the way that I am (it’s just the way)
    Way that it is and what I know so sorry about
    All of these things that I be and I know (it's all me)
    And not you but this ain't how I wish (it to be)
    For you and your way and I know (it’s all me)
    Just know that I know, I know it’s all on me
    All the little pieces make up so much sense in the distance, a-whoa-ho-ho-ho
    Fragmented to the point of is it possible?
    Hot on the trail of a real fine life
    This could be what it means to be alive
    Can’t be too sure but it feels the right way
    Love is infinite like sun rays
    I know what I need to be me
    And I know being me makes it hard to see
    Standing on a precipice isn’t new
    Those demons sometimes get me seeing blue
    All this, call this, what you want but it
    Makes me feel alive
    Stowed it , showed it, now I know it
    Can’t be in my mind
    It was foreign, pouring, I’ve been storing
    This for a long while
    I consumed, felt doomed, sung a new tune
    Eventually in time
    But you don’t like that way that I feel (is the way)
    Way that makes you feel worse all of the time (and I know)
    Know that it’s not okay for you (and it’s not)
    Not for me and is for you so sorry about
    All of these things that you didn’t sign up for (and I don’t)
    Don’t wish the pain on you it’s so sore (but I’ve been)
    Honest to fault (but it doesn’t help)
    I know that hurts and it hurts and it keeps on hurting
    Every single time we try and try to
    make things right for you and I
    We just kept digging, digging it deep
    Below our feet ‘till we started to sink
    And I didn’t know what what to do
    I told myself the truth the truth
    And I could understand and you could understand
    But how could we stand, when there was nowhere to stand?
    And all the little things that get under our skin
    Didn’t make us better in that heavy weather
    I hope that it’s better but never upsetter
    We took ours hands, made some vague plan
    All the little pieces make up so much sense in the distance, a-whoa-ho-ho-ho
    Fragmented to the point of is it possible?
    Hot on the trail of a real fine life
    This could be what it means to be alive
    Can’t be too sure but it feels the right way
    Love is infinite like sun rays
    I know what I need to be me
    And I know being me makes it hard to see
    The distance hasn’t always been clear
    But finally with our love it could appear
    And you don’t like what it is
    And you don’t know what it is
    And I can’t sum it up easily
    But I know what it is that I plainly see
    Yeah who could have liked what it was?
    It caused such a fuss
    My heart placed in your hand
    Then we gave love a chance and

    I love how every character has a kind of theme to their songs. Hatchworths previous songs and, now, Zero are kind of silly and fun. Spine comes across as romantic and love oriented/lost love and Rabbit is very heartbroken/sad, but sometimes very upbeat and positive (Malfunction comes to mind). That's not counting the group songs where they all act and sing together.

    @42_violets 4 года назад +844

    I am absolutely enamored by the decision to end the song with the word "and." It's the ultimate "show don't tell" and really emphasizes how emotional the song is, and how it uses that emotion to convey meaning. From my reading of it, this is a song about a relationship that ended poorly. Ending the song, then, with "we gave love a chance, and..." says everything by saying nothing. The Spine put faith in love, and was let down. But instead of spelling it out to the listener, y'all let the passion of the performance do that work. Really wonderful writing!

      My sort of headcannon interpretation is that it could also be a loop. In code, you can have a statement that essentially repeats itself endlessly, when it ends it just starts again from the beginning. Essentially, it could represent a broken relationship with two people who love each other but simply aren't compatible for one reason or another but they keep trying anyway, even though it keeps breaking down like clockwork.

    I’ve just ended a 3 year relationship that was also long distance for at least 50% of the time. I’m in the UK and he’s in the US. It was a really hard choice, but this really really hits home. We lived together for a while too, it’s hella heavy but this is really helping. “All the little pieces make so much sense in the distance, fragmented to the point of is it possible.” Plus it just wasn’t helping my mental health, aka “the things he didn’t sign up for”. Thank you for always being there for me SPG, when I don’t know what to do, you remind me to tell myself the truth, the truth 💕

      @pumpkinhead1319 3 года назад +4

      I know I'm 9 months late to this comment, but honestly that was my take as well. The line "Love is infinite like sun rays" really drove the poly idea through for me. This song also came out when a poly relationship I was in had soured, and everything he sings about in this really just felt like he was talking about what I had gone through. It's probably off base, but it's definitely possible; I'm pretty sure Bunny has talked about having multiple partners in her vlogs in the past, so it wouldn't be too shocking.
