Impossible
Fiji Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

1st Verse:
I tried so hard to live my life with you
but you seem so cruel
you keep on making things complicated
when it's not
I'm begging you baby stop

Chorus:
Why do we keep on hurting each other
why can't we just be lovers
love is mean't to last forever
but its impossible with you

Why do we keep on hurting each other
why can't we just be lovers
love is mean't to last forever
then why is it impossible with you.

2nd Verse:
You lose a real good thing if you ever lose me
you better take time to think
this love can work if we take the time to communicate
why don't we talk any more
(back to chorus)

3rd Verse:
My baby why can't you see what you doin' to me
you keep on hurting my heart, hurting my heart la la la la la la
my baby, why do I feel like I have to prove so much to you




(blessed is a man who tries to do the right thing)
(only the meek shall inherit earth)

Overall Meaning

The song Impossible by Fiji is a lamentation of the difficulties of love when one partner is constantly creating complications that make it impossible for love to thrive. The song speaks from the point of view of someone who has tried so hard to make things work with their partner, only to be met with cruelty and unending complications. The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song where the hopelessness of the singer's situation is clearly highlighted.


The chorus of the song is a cry of frustration, as the singer wonders why love between them is so difficult when it is meant to last forever. In the second verse, the singer tries to remind their partner of how good they have it and urges them to communicate better as a means of fixing their relationship. However, it is clear that despite the efforts of the singer, their partner is not invested in saving the relationship.


The third verse speaks directly to the pain and anguish that the singer experiences, as they lay bare the extent of their hurt. The last two lines of the verse (which are borrowed lines from the bible) suggest that the singer sees themselves as someone who is trying to do the right thing, but they are met with opposition at every turn. The song overall paints a picture of a relationship that is in dire need of healing, but it seems like one partner is simply not interested in making the effort to save it.
