Impossible
Nyree Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were strong and i was not, my illusion my mistake i was careless i forgot, i did
and now, when all of it's done there's nothing to say
You were gone and so invisibly, you were wrong you can go ahead tell them
shout it from the rooftops
write it on the skyline, all we had is gone now
tell them i was happy, and my heart is broken
all my scars are open, tell them what i hoped would be impossible
impossible, impossible, impossible
Falling out of love is hard
falling far beyond it's worse
broken trust and broken hearts, i know, i know
thinking all you need is there
buildings made of love and words
broken promises from then i know, i know
and now, when all of it's done there's nothing to say
and if you're done with embarrasing me, on your own you can go ahead tell them,
tell them all i know now
shout it from the rooftops,
wirte it on the skyline, all we had is gone now
tell them i was happy, and my heart is broken
all my scars are open, tell them what i hoped would be impossible
impossible, impossible, impossible
impossible, impossible, impossible
oh impossible, yeah
i remember years ago, someone told me i should take caution when it comes to love, i didn't
tell them all i know now,
shout it from the roof tops
write it on the skyline, all we had is gone now
tell them i was happy, and my heart is broken,
all my scars are open, tell them what i hoped would be impossible
impossible, impossible, impossible
impossible, impossible, impossible, impossible.
i remember years ago, someone told me i should take caution when it comes to love i didn't.
In the song "Impossible" by Nyree, the singer reflects on a past relationship that has ended. The lyrics begin by recalling advice that the singer received in the past about being cautious when it comes to love, which they ignored. The relationship between the singer and their partner was imbalanced, with the partner being strong and the singer being weak. The partner made mistakes, but the singer was careless and forgot about them. Now that the relationship is over, there is nothing left to say except that the singer is hurt and that their heart is broken. They acknowledge that falling out of love is hard and can be a painful process. The singer encourages the partner to tell everyone whatever they want about the relationship because it is over, and the singer is ready to move on, even though it hurts.
The chorus of the song repeats the word "impossible" several times, emphasizing the singer's perception that their relationship was doomed from the beginning. The idea of impossibility in this context could refer to the impossible expectations the singer had for the relationship or the unrealistic nature of their hopes and dreams. The chorus is a poignant reminder that even though love is painful and relationships can be difficult, we still enter into them, hoping for the best.
Overall, "Impossible" is a powerful and emotionally charged song that explores the pain of a failed relationship. The lyrics are both raw and relatable, and they capture the universal experiences of heartbreak and loss in a compelling way.
