Gita
Moderat Lyrics

The lyrics of Moderat's song Gita seem to refer to a failing relationship that is on its last legs. The first verse talks about "running out on you," insinuating that one member of the relationship has thought about leaving the other. However, despite this potential escape, the second verse paints a picture of the other person becoming vulnerable and "falling" just as the first partner is considering leaving. This imagery of the second partner bursting "like porcelain" is evocative and suggests that they are fragile and perhaps in need of support right now. Despite this fragility, however, the two partners are still "blowing it all," which could be interpreted as they are still messing up and making mistakes in their relationship.

This song is lyrically open-ended, suggesting the possibility of hope or tragedy - it all depends on how the listener interprets these lyrics. While the picture painted is one of a tenuous relationship, the fact that the two partners are still together and working through their issues could be seen as a positive sign. Alternatively, the second partner's fragility could be a bad omen, and the phrase "we blew it all" seems to indicate that the couple may not be able to save their relationship.
