Postcards From Catalunya
Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And nothing made much sense
I'm sick and tired
Of sitting on the fence
Cos I've been sitting here for hours
And I thought I found the answers to
The questions I was asking
Amongst the postcards of Catalunya
And the late night conversations, I
I can't find the hows or whys...
We talk in circles
We move in narrow lines
I miss the grey patch
Between the black and white
And I've been sitting here for hours
And I thought I found the answers to
The questions I was asking
Now I'm not sure what they were
Amongst the postcards of Catalunya
And the late night conversations, I
I can't find the hows or whys...
I miss the silence
Of sitting here alone
I think I love you
But I'm better on my own
Cos I've been sitting here for hours
And I thought I found the answers to
The questions I was asking
Now I'm not sure what they were
Amongst the postcards of Catalunya
And the late night conversations, I
I can't find the hows or whys...
I can't find the hows or whys...
I can't find the hows or whys...
I can't find the hows or whys...
The lyrics of "Postcards From Catalunya" by Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly seem to describe a state of confusion and uncertainty. The singer has been engaged in deep conversations and introspective thinking, searching for answers to important questions. However, despite this effort, they are unable to make sense of their thoughts and feelings. The mention of "postcards of Catalunya" suggests that the singer might be traveling or in a new environment, which adds to their feelings of disorientation.
The repetition of "I can't find the hows or whys" at the end of the song reinforces this sense of frustration and confusion. The singer is unable to find a clear direction or understanding of their situation. The lines "We talk in circles / We move in narrow lines" suggest that the singer's conversations are not leading to any real progress or clarity. They are stuck in a cycle of uncertainty and indecision. The final lines "I miss the silence / Of sitting here alone / I think I love you / But I'm better on my own" reveal that the singer might be struggling with their relationship and their own sense of identity.
Overall, "Postcards From Catalunya" captures the feeling of being lost and confused, despite a strong desire to find answers and direction. The lyrics suggest that introspection and deep thinking are not always enough to provide clarity and that sometimes it's necessary to step back and find solace in the quiet of one's own mind.

We talked for hours
We had an extensive conversation
And nothing made much sense
And yet, nothing seemed clear or logical
I'm sick and tired
I am fed up
Of sitting on the fence
Of being unable to make a decision or choose a side
Cos I've been sitting here for hours
Because I've been in this state of indecisiveness for a really long time
And I thought I found the answers to
And I believed I had discovered the solutions to
The questions I was asking
The questions that were on my mind
Now I'm not sure what they were
But now I'm unsure of what those questions even were
Amongst the postcards of Catalunya
While surrounded by images of Catalunya (a region in Spain)
And the late night conversations, I
And after having deep conversations that took place late at night
I can't find the hows or whys...
I am unable to find the reasons or explanations for my doubts or troubles
We talk in circles
Our conversations seem to go round and round without really getting anywhere
We move in narrow lines
Our choices and actions are restricted and limited
I miss the grey patch
I miss the ambiguous area that can't be defined as black or white
Between the black and white
Between the clear and opposing choices
I miss the silence
I long for the peace that comes with solitude
Of sitting here alone
Of being by myself
I think I love you
I believe I have feelings for you
But I'm better on my own
But ultimately, being alone suits me better
I can't find the hows or whys...
I cannot seem to figure out the reasons behind my emotions or thoughts
I can't find the hows or whys...
I am still unable to find the answers to my questions
I can't find the hows or whys...
And this feeling of being lost and unsure persists
I can't find the hows or whys...
With no end in sight to my search for clarity and understanding.
