Marcus
Old Daisy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Marcus, Marcus, you didn't start this but it began
On a night when the wind was blowing, you took me by the hand.
Marcus, Marcus, this is the part when it all ends.
But don't you forget, my crazy lines and how we laid in the sand
Well you, to me
are a broken dream
left me incomplete
missed a one way train
but you're not the blame
Cause we
we're not meant to be
we're not meant to be
Cause we
I'm just praying that you'll be happy
Katy
Marcus, Marcus, you've seen this heart from outside in
I blamed every sad mistake on you
But we stayed friends
Marcus, Marcus, why i keep shinning light on you?
Please understand this
I'm bad with distance
I'm bad with truth
Well you, to me
are a broken dream
left me incomplete
Well you, to me
missed a one way train
but you're not the blame
Cause we
we're not meant to me
we're not meant to me
Cause we
i'm just praying that you'll be happy
Jonathan
Daisy, Daisy, remember the night i took your hand
Please forgive me
I hope one day you'll understand
Well you, to me
are a broken dream
left me incomplete
Well you, to me
missed a one way train
but you're not the blame
Cause we
we're supposed to be
we're supposed to be
Cause we
we're supposed to be
we're supposed to be
Katy (& Jonathan)
Cause we
we're not meant to be (we're supposed to be)
we're not meant to be (we're supposed to be)
Cause we
we're not meant to be (we're supposed to be)
we're not meant to be (we're supposed to be)
Cause we
we're not meant to be (we're supposed to be)
we're not meant to be (we're supposed to be)
Cause we
I'm just praying that you'll be happy
praying that you'll be happy
i
don't know why
life
put a fork in the road.
The lyrics of Old Daisy's song Marcus are about a failed relationship between Daisy and Marcus. It talks about how it all started on a windy night when Marcus took Daisy's hand and how it's coming to an end now. Daisy blames Marcus for every sad mistake, yet she shines light on him and prays that he'll be happy. Even though they're not meant to be together because they're incomplete and bad with distance, Daisy still hopes that they will be happy. Jonathan, who seems to be another character in the story, asks Daisy to forgive him and hopes that she'll understand.
The song beautifully portrays the pain of a relationship that's slowly falling apart. It's about the two people who were once in love but now things have changed, and it's time to move on. The lyrics bring out the emotions of the characters and how they feel about each other. It shows the complexity of relationships and how they can affect us emotionally.
