Clarity
Suy Descalsota Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(feat. Foxes)
High dive into frozen waves where the past comes back to life
Fight fear for the selfish pain, it was worth it every time
Hold still right before we crash 'cause we both know how this ends
A clock ticks 'til it breaks your glass and I drown in you again
Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?
(Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey)
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?
Walk on through a red parade and refuse to make amends
It cuts deep through our ground and makes us forget all common sense
Don't speak as I try to leave 'cause we both know what we'll choose
If you pull then I'll push too deep and I'll fall right back to you
'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?
(Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey)
Why are you my clarity?
Why are you my remedy?
Why are you my clarity?
Why are you my remedy?
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?
The lyrics of "Clarity" by Zedd (feat. Foxes) describe the internal struggle of a tumultuous relationship. The lines "High dive into frozen waves where the past comes back to life" and "Walk on through a red parade and refuse to make amends" suggest that the relationship is filled with ups and downs, with moments of nostalgia and regret contrasted with stubbornness and conflict. The singer recognizes that their partner is someone they shouldn't rely on ("'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need") but cannot seem to let go ("still fight and I don't know why"). The chorus asks a poignant question: "If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy? If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?" The singer recognizes that the relationship is unhealthy, but at the same time, that their partner is the only thing keeping them sane. An intriguing juxtaposition, the song speaks to the wirings of human relationships.
In conclusion, "Clarity" is a song that explores the complicated and sometimes contradictory emotions that arise in a damaged romance. Its lyrics paint vivid pictures of both the highs and lows of a relationship, and the chorus provides a haunting question: Why does this person, who causes so much pain, also bring clarity and healing? It's an emotional rollercoaster of a song, taking listeners on a journey through love, heartbreak, and everything in between.
