Clarity
22.Zedd feat. Foxes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

High dive into frozen waves where the past comes back to life
Fight fear for the selfish pain, it was worth it every time
Hold still right before we crash 'cause we both know how this ends
A clock ticks 'til it breaks your glass and I drown in you again

'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

Walk on through a red parade and refuse to make amends
It cuts deep through our ground and makes us forget all common sense
Don't speak as I try to leave 'cause we both know what we'll choose
If you pull, then I'll push too deep and I'll fall right back to you

'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

Why are you my clarity?
Why are you my remedy?
Why are you my clarity?
Why are you my remedy?





If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

Overall Meaning

The song "Clarity" by Zedd featuring Foxes is a powerful ballad about a relationship that is intense and perhaps even unstable, but still necessary for both parties involved. The first verse describes a feeling of diving headfirst into a frozen wave, where the past resurfaces to haunt the lovers. Despite the fear and pain that may come with this relationship, they still find it worthwhile to pursue. The second verse paints a picture of the couple walking through a red parade, refusing to reconcile their differences. The chorus asks probing questions, wondering why this person is both the singer's remedy and their clarity, even though their love may be tragic and insane.


A possible interpretation of the song is that the singer is describing a toxic relationship where they are addicted to the highs and lows, and cannot imagine letting go of the person who causes them so much pain. The line "If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?" suggests that the singer knows that this person is not good for them, but they cannot help feeling like they need them in order to survive. The repeated question "why are you my clarity?" highlights the confusion and inner turmoil the singer is experiencing.


Overall, "Clarity" is a powerful and emotional song that captures the complexities of love and the internal struggle that can come with it.
