Each Little Mystery
Seven Mary Three Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you need more than a ticket to get you there
You need a string of good intentions
And an easy burn
Maybe some good luck
With the cash tucked in the back of your pocket
Maybe it's still not enough to ease your pain
You get tired and say fuck it
Each little mystery is safe in your heart
You've got to wonder, is moving on the best that you can do?
Need to have a little conversation
Find the truth behind the questions that are haunting you
She says there's motivation
Tucked into the crease between the seats
I looked through the box
For cigarettes, maps, keys
There's so much room in here
You can put your feet straight out the dash
She turns the radio on
Pulls me close to hear me laugh
Each little mystery is safe in your heart
You've got to wonder, is moving on the best that you can do?
Need to have a little conversation
Find the truth behind the questions that are haunting you
She rests her hand along the space
Between my neckline and my back
I can feel her fingers running through the feelings
I didn't think I had. Like?BR>maybe this road we're on
Is the very thing that's come between us
Maybe it's the highway
To the very place that might just save us
Each little mystery is safe in your heart
You've got to wonder, is moving on the best that you can do?
Need to have a little conversation
Find the truth behind the questions that are haunting you
Each little mystery is safe in your heart
You've got to wonder, is moving on the best that you can do?
I hear you've got a little education
It's not enough to satisfy what's haunting you
The song "Each Little Mystery" by Seven Mary Three talks about the uncertainty of life, and the need to have conversations that uncover the truth behind our questions. The opening lines describe how having a ticket isn't enough to get you where you want to go; you need to have good intentions, luck, and maybe some money to make it happen. Yet, even with all these things, you can still feel pain and become tired, which can make you give up.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of keeping the little mysteries of life safe in your heart. Moving on may not be the best option and it is necessary to have conversations to find the truth. The singer is riding in a car with someone they care about, and during this time, they observe how there's so much space for them to put their feet up and relax. As the other person turns on the radio, they hold the singer close and share moments of laughter.
In the second verse, the person they're with rests their hand on the singer's back and uncovers feelings they didn't realize they had. They consider the possibility that the road they're on might be what's come between them or what could save them. The final lines communicate the idea that education may not be enough to satisfy what's haunting you, and that the truth is the only thing that can bring peace.
