Breakfast at Tiffany
Deep Blue Something Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say that we've got nothing in common
No common ground to start from
And we're falling apart

You'll say the world has come between us
Our lives have come between us
Still I know you just don't care
And I said, "What about Breakfast at Tiffany's?"
She said, "I think I remember the film,
And as I recall, I think we both kinda liked it"
And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got"

I see you, the only one who knew me
And now your eyes see through me
I guess I was wrong

So what now? It's plain to see we're over
And I hate when things are over
When so much is left undone.

You say that we've got nothing in common
No common ground to start from
And we're falling apart

You'll say the world has come between us
Our lives have come between us
Still I know you just don't care

You say that we've got nothing in common
No common ground to start from




And we're falling apart
[Repeat x 3]

Overall Meaning

In Deep Blue Something's song "Breakfast at Tiffany's," the singer is trying to salvage what's left of a failing relationship. The opening lyrics, "You say that we've got nothing in common, no common ground to start from and we're falling apart," demonstrate that the relationship is in a dire state. The singer tries to find a shared interest or memory to rekindle the relationship and asks their partner, "What about Breakfast at Tiffany's?" The partner remembers the movie, but it becomes clear that the only shared memory the couple has is a movie and nothing more.


The line, "I see you, the only one who knew me, and now your eyes see through me, I guess I was wrong" indicates that the singer feels like they've lost the connection they had felt with their partner. Despite their attempts to find common ground, the relationship is over, and the singer hates when things are over when so much is left undone. The repetition of the line "You say that we've got nothing in common, no common ground to start from and we're falling apart" amplifies the sense of hopelessness in the situation.

@myriamguns2162

Nothing wrong with it but of course way too expensive since you're paying for the name, not the food.
Tried it once when I was at a convention in NYC so all expenses were on my boss.
Can feel nice to pretend you're rich...
Now, if you are, you can go whenever you like and mention it to all your friends and acquaintances, especially the snobbish ones ;-)

@nuzum11
