Breakfast at Tiffany
Deep Blue Something Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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]
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.

And we're falling apart
Our relationship is deteriorating
You'll say the world has come between us
You blame external factors for our problems
Our lives have come between us
Our personal experiences and choices have separated us
Still I know you just don't care
Despite your excuses, I know that you are indifferent towards me

And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got"
I am hopeful that this shared positive experience can help us rebuild our relationship
I see you, the only one who knew me
You were the only person who truly understood me
And now your eyes see through me
You no longer understand or care about me
I guess I was wrong
I made a mistake in thinking our relationship was stronger than it was
So what now? It's plain to see we're over
Our relationship has ended and it's obvious to both of us
And I hate when things are over
I feel sad and unhappy when relationships end
When so much is left undone.
We had so much potential and unfinished business in our relationship
You say that we've got nothing in common
You keep reaffirming that we have no shared interests or experiences
No common ground to start from
We have no basis to rebuild our relationship upon
And we're falling apart
Our relationship is continuing to deteriorate
[Repeat x 3]
The chorus is repeated three times to drive home the point that our relationship is truly over

This is the definitive 90s song. Nothing captures the spirit of that time better than this song.
