Poetically Pathetic
Amber Pacific Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thinking of the words to say,
I'd like to think that this was fate.
Reference to a song you love,
Spell confusion with a 'k'.
Like a star without its strings,
I'm hanging here on these two wings.
For that smile and those eyes (I'm falling)

If time could stop, how could I make this more poetic?
When there's nothing more pathetic to be said

You bring me out, show me light,
I'm sorry if I hide, I'm too afraid to look inside.
You carry through, you make me smile.
If it were you and me tonight,
I would tame the stars and save the brightest one for you,
For you

If you ever had the chance,
Would you make your life seem right?
Or would you only hold it back,
The good times, the hard, and the bad.
Whatever you say is alright,
Just as long as there's no doubt.
Could you look me in the eyes (And say hopes died)

If time could stop, how could I make this more poetic?
When there's nothing more pathetic to be said

You bring me out, show me light,
I'm sorry if I hide, I'm too afraid to look inside.
You carry through, you make me smile.
If it were you and me tonight,
I would tame the stars and save the brightest one for you.

Our wish,
Each time,
Keeps me returning to you,
Night after night
Lift me up as high as the clouds that warm the sky,
For you and I

You bring me out, show me light,
I'm sorry if I hide, I'm too afraid to look inside.
You carry through, you make me smile,
If it were you and me tonight,
I would tame the stars and save the brightest one for you

You bring me out, show me light,
I'm sorry if I hide, I'm too afraid to look inside
You carry through, you make me smile,
If it were you and me tonight,
I would tame the stars and save the brightest one for you,
For you

Overall Meaning

"Poetically Pathetic" by Amber Pacific is a song about a person who is not afraid to admit their feelings for someone. The song starts off with the singer trying to find the right words to say to their love interest. They feel that their meeting was fate and references a song they love, adding a little confusion with the spelling. The singer compares themselves to a star without strings, hanging on two wings, and then admits to falling for the person they are addressing. They wonder how they can make the moment more beautiful, but there is nothing more pathetic to be said.


The song then talks about how the love interest brings out the best in the singer, showing them light in the darkness. The singer is afraid to reveal their true self, but the love interest carries them through and makes them smile. They talk about taming the stars and saving the brightest one for their love interest before leading into the chorus again. The final lines talk about the singer's recurring wishes for the one they love, lifting them as high as the clouds in the sky.


The song is a beautiful tribute to the courage it takes to reveal one's feelings for someone they care about, even if it seems a little pathetic. It also highlights the power someone can have over another through their kindness and their ability to bring light into the world.
