Clarity
Natty Bong Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?
If our love is tragedy why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity why are you my clarity?
Walk on through a red parade And refuse to make amends It cuts deep through our ground And makes us forget all common sense Don't speak as I try to leave '
Cause we both know what we'll choose If you pull, then I'll push too deep And I'll fall right back to you Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need Chasing relentlessly Still fight and I don't know why If our love is tragedy why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity why are you my clarity?
Why are you my clarity?
Why are you my clarity?
Why are you my remedy?
If our love is tragedy why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity why are you my clarity?

The piece of each other they wish they didn't need is their mutual affection. The chorus questions why, despite the dysfunction and chaos of their love, one person is still the other's remedy and clarity.
