Anyway The Main Thing Is
Patty Larkin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I took the train
Just for the view
I took my boyfriend's last name
For something to do
I took advice
Now I regret it
I took my time
Cause I could get it

I shook my head
And it woke me up
I shook a strange hand in my bed
And that was enough
I shook the truth
Out of the tree
It shook my faith up good
But it satisfied me

Anyway the main thing is
Regrooving the dream
Regrooving the

Love doesn't think
Love doesnt look
Love doesn't think
Love doesnt look
Love takes a flying leap off the brink
Love swallows the hook
Love doesn't sleep




Love is out of control
Love is only human it can swallow you whole

Overall Meaning

Patty Larkin's song "Anyway The Main Thing Is" is a song about taking chances, making mistakes, and living with the consequences. In the first stanza, the singer reflects on the decisions she's made, both big and small. She took the train just for the view - a simple, impulsive choice made on a whim. She also took her boyfriend's last name, perhaps without much thought or intention behind it. She took advice and now regrets it, and she took her time to get what she wanted.


In the second stanza, the singer shakes things up. She shakes her head to wake up from her previous state of mind, and she shakes a strange hand in her bed - perhaps a reference to a one-night stand or a moment of recklessness. But she also shakes the truth out of the tree and confronts it head-on, even though it shakes her faith in some way. At the end of the day, though, the main thing is to keep regrooving the dream - to keep pursuing what we want and making the most of the opportunities we have.


The song is about love and taking chances, but it's also about being human and making mistakes. It's about learning from those mistakes and moving forward, even when it's hard. It's a reminder that we're all only human and that love can be messy, but it's worth it in the end.
