Birthday
Ary Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wish I called
But I'll just pretend that I forgot
I thought about it
Think I'm better off
We don't talk about it
We don't talk at all
I could just pick up the phone
It's not like me
To be so cold
I could just walk away
Not like I have much to say
Maybe for another day
When we're both okay
It's your birthday
I'm sitting at home
Tell myself it's another day
But deep down I know
I hope you wish for
A little more
I hope you wish that
I was yours
In Ary's song "Birthday," the lyrics depict a bittersweet reflection on a past relationship. The singer acknowledges the significance of their ex-partner's birthday but admits that they have chosen not to reach out. The opening line, "It's your birthday, I wish I called, but I'll just pretend that I forgot," suggests a deliberate decision to distance themselves emotionally. They contemplate whether it is better to remain silent, avoiding any potential conversation or confrontation.
The lyrics reveal a sense of resignation and acceptance. The singer acknowledges that they both avoid discussing their past, hinting at unresolved issues or pain. The lines "I could just pick up the phone, but I think I'll leave you alone / It's not like me to be so cold" demonstrate conflicting emotions, as the singer recognizes that their behavior may be out of the ordinary. However, they choose to maintain their distance, possibly to protect themselves or prevent any potential reopening of wounds.
The second verse further emphasizes the singer's choice to keep their distance. They contemplate walking away and acknowledge the lack of conversation between them. The line "Not like I have much to say, maybe for another day when we're both okay" indicates that they believe there may be a time and place for reconciliation, but in the present, they are not ready or capable of engaging in further communication.
The chorus shifts focus and reveals the singer's longing for their ex-partner's affection. They admit to sitting at home, trying to convince themselves that it is just another day, but deep down, they know the significance of the occasion. The line "I hope you wish for a little more, I hope you wish that I was yours" expresses their desire for a renewed connection, suggesting that perhaps their feelings for their ex-partner remain unresolved.
Overall, the lyrics of "Birthday" by Ary convey the struggle of keeping distance from a past relationship while acknowledging the lingering emotions and longing for reconciliation.
