Stephen J. Kroos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will always be here for you
But we're totally different
totally different
totally different
Wrapped in love and feeling tall
Awake and not afraid to fall
This is the way I've always been
A failing light across the world
A smiling moon cut out in thirds
I feel at home in the night time
I feel at home in the night time
A perfect pink I've cut the cord
I'm standing off the diving board
I can fly if I want to
Fly if I want to
Fly if I want to
The lyrics to Stephen J. Kroos's song "Sadistick" explore the complex feelings of love, difference, and self-discovery. The first stanza highlights the singer's commitment to their loved one, despite the fact that they are "totally different." The repetition of this phrase emphasizes the dissonance between the two individuals in the relationship. The next two stanzas present contrasting images: the singer feels confident and secure during the night, but acknowledges the world's darker aspects. The line "A failing light across the world / A smiling moon cut out in thirds" suggests that despite the beauty and wonder of the world around them, there is always something amiss. The final stanza features the singer's declaration of independence: they have "cut the cord" and are "standing off the diving board" and free to "fly if [they] want to." This suggests that the singer has finally found the courage to explore their own desires and goals independently of their loved one.
Overall, the song explores the tension between love and individuality, suggesting that sometimes the fulfillment of one requires the relinquishment of the other. The singer recognizes that their lover and they are "totally different," but continues to express their love and commitment anyway. Conversely, as the song progresses, the singer becomes more self-assured, with the final stanza expressing their freedom to "fly if [they] want to." Ultimately, the song suggests that both love and self-determination are essential facets of a fulfilling life, but they must be balanced in order to find true happiness.
