So...
Grey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That we were together and said that our love was forever, so...
Only a short few days or yearsΒ ? It's still a blur and we were in tears,
And you were saying and I was saying, so...
Beautiful and mad, out of our minds, desperately sad,
All over again, we'd probably end up, probably end up, so...
I am drowning, please let me drown.
Inside, Inside, Inside.
The feeling is good but, to me, unsound.
It seems such a waste of time, how could I ever know, you were right for me,
and I was right for you, so...
We were on such a collision course, couldn't steer and couldn't rejoice in all
the love we knew and the hate of two, so...
It was just a feeling, a feeling that couldn't last.
So it was doomed to fail and we said what the hell, so...
And I believe it was just the sex. So damn good. Maybe the best.
And we destroyed ourselves over nothing more, so...
The lyrics of Grey's song "So..." talk about a relationship that has ended, but the memories of it still linger in the minds of both parties. They allude to how love can sometimes feel intense, beautiful, and mad but can also lead to desperation and tragedy. Grey speaks of drowning and screaming but being unheard and of the feeling being good yet unsound.
The song describes how time seems to have passed quickly since their love had ended, but the memory of it still seems fresh. The chorus points to how futile the relationship was and how they had no choice but to end it. The lyrics suggest that the relationship probably would have failed even if they tried again.
Grey's use of language, such as "collision course" and the mention of destruction, evoke themes of romantic entanglement and struggle. The song is an emotional rollercoaster that reminds listeners of how love can feel chaotic and unpredictable. Ultimately, the lyrics suggest that the characters in the song had to let go of the relationship they had because it was not healthy for them.
