I don't care what people say
We both know I couldn't change you
I guess you could say the same
Can't rearrange truth
I've never seen someone lie like you do
So much, even you start to think it's true
Get me out of this loop, yeah, yeah
So now we play our separate scenes
Now, now she's in my bed, mm-mm, layin' on your chest
Now I'm in my head, wonderin' how it ends
I'll be the first to say, "I'm sorry"
Now you got me feelin' sorry
I showed you all my demons, all my lies
Yet you played me like Atari
Now it's like I'm lookin' in the mirror
Hope you feel alright when you're in her
I found a good boy and he's on my side
You're just my eternal sunshine, sunshine
So I try to wipe my mind
Just so I feel less insane
Rather feel painless
I'd rather forget than know, know for sure
What we could've fought through behind this door, mm
So I close it and move, yeah, yeah
So now we play our separate scenes
Now, now he's in your bed, and layin' on my chest
Now I'm in my head, and wonderin' how it ends, ends, ends
I'll be the first to say, "I'm sorry"
Now you got me feelin' sorry
I showed you all my demons, all my lies
Yet you played me like Atari
Now it's like I'm lookin' in the mirror
Hope you feel alright when you're in her
I found a good boy and he's on my side
You're just my eternal sunshine, sunshine
Won't break, can't shake
This fate, rewrite
Deep breaths, tight chest
Life, death, rewind
Won't (won't) break (won't), can't (can't) shake (shake)
This (this) fate (fate), rewrite

I showed you all my demons, all my lies
Yet you played me like Atari
Now it's like I'm lookin' in the mirror (won't break, can't shake)
Hope you feel alright when you're in her (this fate, rewrite)
I found a good boy and he's on my side (deep breaths, tight chest)

The lyrics of "Eternal Sunshine" by Ariana Grande delve into a complex emotional dynamic between two individuals who are entangled in a tumultuous relationship. The singer expresses a sense of disillusionment towards their partner, acknowledging that despite their flaws and lies, they still hold power over them. The line "I've never seen someone lie like you do" highlights the deep hurt caused by the deception in the relationship, leading the singer to seek an escape from this toxic cycle.
The song delves into the aftermath of the breakup, with both parties moving on to new relationships but still haunted by memories of their past together. The imagery of one person laying in the bed of the other's former partner creates a sense of longing and regret, as they reflect on how things ended and questions of what could have been. The repetition of the phrase "I'm sorry" reflects a desire for closure and reconciliation amidst the pain and confusion.
The chorus of the song introduces the idea of eternal sunshine, symbolizing a lingering presence in the singer's life despite the passage of time and the involvement of new partners. The comparison to a "good boy" who is now by the singer's side further emphasizes the contrast between their past and present relationships, hinting at a sense of newfound stability and contentment.
The final verses of the song grapple with themes of fate, forgiveness, and acceptance. The singer acknowledges their own faults and mistakes, while also confronting the impact of their past partner's actions on their sense of self. The repeated phrases of "won't break, can't shake, this fate, rewrite" signify a struggle to come to terms with the past and rewrite their own narrative moving forward. Overall, "Eternal Sunshine" captures the complexities of love, loss, and growth in the aftermath of a challenging relationship.

It's really not that creative. Lol
@clairerain

@demi0758
It believe it has a double meaning bc of the looking in the mirror line meaning the obvious meaning and also she hopes she can be happy looking in the mirror and living with herself. Just my interpretation
@jUsTcHiLlInOuTiNmEbOx28
