Costanza Lyrics

( Fugazi cover )

Words
Words and expressions
All these confessions
Of where we stand

How I see you

And you see me
Dedications of symmetry
Together we will be forever

Promises are shit
We speak the way we breathe
Present air will have to do
Rearrange and see it through

Stupid fucking words
They tangle us in our desires
Free me from this give and take
Free me from this great debate

You will do what you do
I will do what I do
We will do what we do
Rearrange and see it through

Go where you think you want to go
Do everything you were sent here for
Fire at will if you hear that call
Touch your hand to the wall at night
Promises, words
Promises, words
Promises, words

You will do what you do
And I will do what I do
We will do what we do
Rearrange and see it through

Go where you think you want to go
Do everything you were sent here for
Fire at will if you hear that call
Touch your hand to the wall at night
Promises, words
Promises and words
Promises, words
Promises, words

Promises are shit
We speak the way we breathe
Present air will have to do
Rearrange and see it through

Stupid fucking words
They tangle us in our desires

Free me from this give and take
Free me from this great debate

Overall Meaning

The song "Promises" by Costanza is a cover of the song by Fugazi. The lyrics speak about the complexities of communication in relationships and the false sense of security created by making promises. The song opens with the lines "Words and expressions, All these confessions, Of where we stand." This immediately sets the tone of the song as one of honesty and transparency. The lyrics go on to describe how two people see each other and make "dedications of symmetry" which represents the idealistic and romantic notions of relationships. But, the song subverts this notion by stating "promises are shit" and that "stupid fucking words, tangle us in our desires".

The chorus of the song emphasizes that we speak the way we breathe and that present air will have to do. It's almost as if the song is saying that we should not try to complicate things with promises and just enjoy the present moment. The song also touches on the idea of free will and that we should go where we want to go and do what we were sent here for. The final verse repeats the same lyrics as the previous one, driving home the message that promises are ultimately meaningless.

Overall, "Promises" is a song that speaks to the pitfalls of making promises in relationships and the importance of enjoying the present moment rather than worrying about the future.
