HEARTBREAK ANNIVERSARY
Giveon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Balloons are deflated
Guess they look lifeless like me
We miss you on your side of the bed, mmm
Still got your things here
And they stare at me like souvenirs
Don't wanna let you out my head
Just like the day that I met you
The day I thought forever
Said that you love me
But that'll last for never
It's cold outside
Like when you walked out my life
Why you walk out my life?
I get like this every time
On these days that feel like you and me
Heartbreak anniversary
'Cause I remember every time
On these days that feel like you and me
Heartbreak anniversary
Do you ever think of me?
(Ohh-ooh) no
(Ooh) no-no, no
(Ooh, ooh, ooh) ooh, nah
I'm buildin' my hopes up
Like presents unopened 'til this day
I still see the messages you read, mmm
I'm foolishly patient
(Foolishly patient)
Can't get past the taste of your lips
(Taste of your lips)
Don't wanna let you out my head
Just like the day that I met you
The day I thought forever
Said that you love me
But that'll last for never
It's cold outside
Like when you walked out my life
Why you walk out my life? (My life)
I get like this every time
On these days that feel like you and me
Heartbreak anniversary
'Cause I remember every time
On these days that feel like you and me
Heartbreak anniversary
Do you ever think of me?
(Ohh-ooh) of me
'Cause I think of you, think of you

on At Least We Tried
En la canción "At Least We Tried" de Giveon, la letra refleja una relación compleja e incierta. El cantante comienza reconociendo que inicialmente habían creído que la relación sería sólida y estable. Sin embargo, pronto se dan cuenta de que han perdido el control y se han enamorado de la otra persona, aparentemente antes de que ellos mismos se den cuenta. Esto sugiere que la otra persona tiene una poderosa influencia sobre ellos. La frase "Supongo que te metiste en mi cabeza antes de que yo lo supiera" retrata una sensación de vulnerabilidad y sorpresa por la profundidad con la que la otra persona ha impactado sus emociones.
La siguiente parte de la canción profundiza en la incertidumbre y la vacilación dentro de la relación. El cantante reconoce que ambos han llegado a entender que la relación puede no funcionar. A pesar de darse cuenta de esto, ambos están de acuerdo y eligen permanecer en el momento presente sin tomar ninguna decisión ni discutir el futuro. La línea "No hagas ruido y esperemos a que llegue ese día" indica un enfoque pasivo de la relación, y sugiere una voluntad de dejar que el destino decida su curso. De todos modos, el cantante todavía quiere estar completamente involucrado en la relación y le pide a la otra persona que lo haga sentir amado.
El coro enfatiza el concepto de probar y explorar el potencial de la relación. El cantante cree que incluso si no funciona, al menos pueden decir que intentaron hacer que funcione. La frase "Nunca lo sepas hasta que me dejes entrar" sugiere que la cantante cree que todavía hay una posibilidad de que la relación tenga éxito si se le da la oportunidad. Expresan el deseo de aferrarse a la conexión, incluso cuando las cosas se vuelven difíciles o inciertas. La letra "El amor es siempre un juego perdedor" transmite el sentimiento de que el amor es inherentemente arriesgado e incierto, sin embargo, incluso frente a una posible pérdida o desamor, el cantante todavía quiere poder decir que lo intentó.
Hacia el final de la canción, el cantante cuestiona el curso de la relación. Reflexionan sobre si deben seguir jugando a lo seguro o correr más riesgos. La frase "¿De qué manera lo jugamos? Es lo que hacemos de él", sugiere una reflexión sobre la dirección que debe tomar la relación. Creen que hay algo más por descubrir con la otra persona, y que vale la pena explorarlo, incluso si eso significa potencialmente cometer errores en el camino. En última instancia, el coro se repite para enfatizar la importancia de al menos intentarlo en el amor, reconociendo que el amor puede ser un juego perdido, pero también reconociendo el valor de intentarlo.
