Universe
AMALINE Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe if we would've met another time

In another life

We would've never been so reckless, gone too far

It's like you're trying to stop two cars from driving all the way

You can't

You can't

Did it matter that we tried to pull the breaks

Oh I've been wonder if I oh I

Could've ever blamed you

But really I don't even understand

What if the universe

Didn't mean for us to see

The world from the place we thought

Even when we

ran away

We were traced to the ends of the earth

Oh but honestly

I know

You are my Universe

Never used to find a way to stay above

The surface

But you were the only one to pull me out of the water

Oh I've been wonder if I oh I

Could've ever blamed you

But really I don't even understand

What if the universe

Didn't mean for us to see

The world from the place we thought

Even when we

ran away

We were traced to the ends of the earth

Oh but honestly

I know

You are my Universe

Yeah we ran away

Yeah we ran away

What if the universe wanted to

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of AMALINE's song "Universe" explore the idea of fate and the unpredictable nature of relationships. The song reflects on the possibility of a different outcome if the two individuals involved had met in another time or another life. The opening lines imply that their reckless behavior and the consequences they faced might have been inevitable, as though two cars on a collision course that cannot be stopped. The lyrics express a sense of wonder and questioning, contemplating whether it would have made a difference if they had tried to stop or change their course.

The chorus introduces the concept of the universe's role in their relationship. It suggests that perhaps the universe did not intend for them to experience the world together from the perspective they had anticipated. Despite their efforts to escape or run away, they were still traced and brought back to face the challenges associated with their connection.

The song's bridge reflects on the transformative power of the other person. The lyrics note that the singer never used to find a way to stay above the surface, metaphorically conveying a struggle or feeling of being overwhelmed. However, the other person, referred to as the "only one," was able to save them from drowning. The singer wonders if they could have ever blamed this person for the circumstances they found themselves in, but in reality, they don't fully understand the complexities of their relationship.

Overall, "Universe" contemplates the idea of destiny and how the universe might play a role in shaping relationships and the challenges faced within them.

Maybe if we would've met another time
Perhaps if our paths had crossed at a different moment

In another life
In an alternate existence

We would've never been so reckless, gone too far
We wouldn't have taken such risks and pushed boundaries

It's like you're trying to stop two cars from driving all the way
It feels impossible to prevent the collision of our desires

You can't
It's futile to try

Did it matter that we tried to pull the breaks
Does it even make a difference that we attempted to slow down

Oh I've been wonder if I oh I
I've been contemplating if I

Could've ever blamed you
Could have held you responsible

But really I don't even understand
But truthfully, I don't comprehend

What if the universe
Imagine if the cosmos

Didn't mean for us to see
Didn't intend for us to witness
