Breakfast at Tiffany´s
Deep Blue Something Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You'll say we've got nothing in common
No common ground to start from
And we're falling apart
You 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
But now your eyes see through me
I guess I was wrong
So what now? It's plain to see we're over
I hate when things are over
When so much is left undone

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"

You say we've got nothing in common
No common ground to start from
And we're falling apart
You say the world has come between us
Our lives have come between us
But 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"

Overall Meaning

The song "Breakfast at Tiffany's" by Deep Blue Something is about a couple who are drifting apart and seem to have nothing in common. The lyrics suggest that the world has come between them and that they are falling apart. However, the singer remembers that they both enjoyed watching the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and suggests that it's the one thing they have in common.


The lyrics of the song express a certain fear of losing someone you love, but also the realization that sometimes things just don't work out. The singer is desperately trying to hold on to the one thing that they share, some kind of common ground, even if it is just a memory of a movie they both enjoyed. The use of the word "remember" suggests that it's been a long time since they've enjoyed something together and that they've grown apart.


Interestingly, the song has a happy and catchy melody, which contrasts with the rather sad and melancholic lyrics. This makes the song stand out as a classic example of the 90s alternative rock scene.

@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
