Mattergy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to define
What isn't mine
To say
Someone I knew
With hair like yours
Your body too
You were the same
We're reserved to be fossils and forestry
Coalesce at the entrance to open harbours
Our resolve has evolved into artistry
All the world
Is addicted to our elation
Mesmerised by our primal beneficiary
Holding hands, we become what we had envisioned
To be free from our own frayed duplicity
Roll back your jaw
Compete and ignore
Complete - in short
In vain
Two ways run out
Why keep them devout
To starve seems just
Our lust refrained
When we die, we dissolve into one another
We're reserved to be fossils and forestry
Coalesce at the entrance to open harbours
Our resolve has evolved into artistry
All the world
Is addicted to our elation
Mesmerised by our primal beneficiary
Holding hands, we become what we had envisioned
To be free from our own frayed duplicity
Unwinding
Surely won't
Help to find it
It's clearly broke
Rewiring
Tempers soaked
In divisive
Repairs
Why waste our time
Trying to define
What isn't mine
To say
Someone I knew
With hair like yours
Your body too
You were the same
The lyrics of "Friends With Benefits" by Mattergy touch on the complexities of human relationships and the impossibility of defining them. The opening lines "Why waste our time, trying to define what isn't mine to say" suggest that the singer is reflecting on a past relationship that was outside of traditional definitions of romantic love. The line "Someone I knew, with hair like yours, your body too, you were the same" suggests that this was a physical relationship, but one that went beyond just casual sex.
The chorus of the song continues with the idea that the singer and their partner are connected on a deep level, even beyond death. The lines "When we die, we dissolve into one another, we're reserved to be fossils and forestry, coalesce at the entrance to open harbours, our resolve has evolved into artistry" all speak to a sense of unity and interconnectedness that transcends individual identity. This idea is reinforced later in the song with the lines "Holding hands, we become what we had envisioned, to be free from our own frayed duplicity".
The final lines of the song, "Why waste our time, trying to define what isn't mine to say, someone I knew, with hair like yours, your body too, you were the same" suggest that despite the complexity of their relationship, it was ultimately something that was valuable to the singer.
