The Scientist
General Soundbwoy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets
Oh, let's go back to the start
Running in circles
Coming up tails
Heads on a science apart
Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh, take me back to the start
I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science
Science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
Oh, and I rush to the start
Running in circles
Chasing our tails
Coming back as we are
Nobody said it was easy
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start
Oh
, General Soundbwoy's song "The Scientist" is a beautiful and sorrowful ballad about regret, love, and the struggle to find one's place in the world. The lyrics "Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry, you don't know how lovely you are," suggest that the singer is reaching out to someone they have hurt or wronged in some way. They want to make amends and tell this person how beautiful they are, perhaps in an effort to win back their love or forgiveness. The next line, "I had to find you, tell you I need you, tell you I set you apart," further shows how important this person is to the singer, and how much they value their connection.
As the song continues, the singer asks their loved one to share their secrets and questions with them, so that they can really know and understand each other. They long to go back to the beginning, before things became complicated or difficult, before they started running in circles and chasing their own tails. The refrain "Nobody said it was easy, no one ever said it would be this hard," suggests that the singer is feeling overwhelmed and discouraged by the challenges they are facing in their relationship. Yet they remain determined to keep trying, to go back to the start and figure things out.
Throughout "The Scientist," there is a strong emphasis on science and progress, with the singer acknowledging that they have spent a lot of time "guessing at numbers and figures, pulling the puzzles apart." Yet despite this, they believe that matters of the heart are far more important, and far more difficult to understand or master. They long for their loved one to come back to them, and for a chance to start again. Ultimately, the song is a poignant and moving tribute to the power of love and the resilience of the human spirit.
