Rebirth
Hungry Young Poets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The silence and the moon was my concern
Then you helped me to decide
How the world would be much better
When seen by two
Everything around me then
Was worthy of this gamble
Naivete became my faithful guide
You couldn't even lay a finger
So beautiful is all I felt inside
But you run out of pretty things to say
And decided to slowly slip away
Without explaining just to spare my feelings
Now you tell a story of a kiss that never was
And how i became the crime and you the committer
And how we lost different battles
You stab me with a rusty knife
That lay for two years there
But is cut a wound so deep
That i remember the nights i lay awake
Staring at artificial stars in my ceiling
Wishing pain was artificial too
And i'm grateful for your apology
But it's a little too late
Cause you've already killed me
Things are different now I'm so different
Now that you tell me that you love me
Should i believe you forget the past
And live for today and if you kill me once again
I don't know if i can forgive you
But this feelings so right
I think were alright in love's rebirth
In "Rebirth" by the Hungry Young Poets, the singer reflects on love and the pain of heartbreak. They confess that they were never a romantic person and that solitude was their preferred companion before they fell in love. However, their lover helped them to appreciate the world and life's experiences, and the singer felt an overwhelming sense of beauty and fragility. Unfortunately, the relationship came to an end, and the singer was hurt deeply. The person they thought they knew disappeared, and they were left picking up the pieces. The singer questions whether they should believe their lover's return and it's sincerity, fearing that they will only be hurt again. Still, they acknowledge the feeling of love is correct, and perhaps it is time to experience a rebirth and give love another chance.
The song's lyrics speak to the universal theme of love and heartbreak. Through the singer's struggles, we can relate to the experience of being so in love and then feeling abandoned. Sometimes love can feel like a gamble, and we are never sure about getting the return on the risk we take. The song also highlights the importance of communicating honestly in a relationship, even if it may be hurtful, and how it is essential to take full responsibility for our actions.
Line by Line Meaning
I was never really optimistic about this love thing
I had doubts about love from the beginning
The silence and the moon was my concern
I used to care about solitude and night ambience
Then you helped me to decide
You made me take a stance
How the world would be much better
Love could change things for the better
When seen by two
As long as it's shared by two individuals
Everything around me then
I found all things surrounding us
Was worthy of this gamble
To be worthy of the risk
Naivete became my faithful guide
Being naive was my guide
And i appeared so fragile
I was fragile to you
You couldn't even lay a finger
You did not want to harm me
So beautiful is all i felt inside
I felt so wonderful inside
But you run out of pretty things to say
You started to become unromantic
And decided to slowly slip away
Started to drift away slowly
Without explaining just to spare my feelings
Ignoring me to avoid hurting me
Now you tell a story of a kiss that never was
You had a made-up story about something that never existed
And how i became the crime and you the committer
You accused me of something you did
And how we lost different battles
We lost different fights
You stab me with a rusty knife
Pain you caused me was very old
That lay for two years there
You never stopped hurting me
But is cut a wound so deep
And the wound was still there
That i remember the nights i lay awake
It was so painful that I could not forget, laying awake at night
Staring at artificial stars in my ceiling
Staring at the fake stars on my ceiling
Wishing pain was artificial too
Wishing the pain was not real too
And i'm grateful for your apology
I appreciate your apology
But it's a little too late
But it's too late now
Cause you've already killed me
You already hurt me so much
Things are different now I'm so different
I'm different and things have changed now
Now that you tell me that you love me
You confess love to me now
Should i believe you forget the past
Should I trust you and forget the past?
And live for today and if you kill me once again
Move forward and not make me hurt once again
I don't know if i can forgive you
I'm not sure if I can forgive you
But this feelings so right
But our love is so right
I think were alright in love's rebirth
I believe we have a chance for love's rebirth
