Terra Firma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And now I stand outside as I look inside,
Sometimes I wish I wasn't the one who did what's right,
Maybe then I would be with you tonight.
Again I turned and walked away,
I tried to stop my self I couldn't stay.
Tried to fight my nature and lost,
I hope that it was worth the cost.
I was the one from which I ran, That I couldn't see.
Mybe you were perfest, Mybe you weren't,
JUst hold my hand again tonight and gon't let go.
The lyrics to Terra Firma's song "Apology" depict the emotional turmoil and regret of a person who used to occupy a significant place in the heart of their loved one. The opening line, "Inside your heart I used to reside and I looked outside" indicates that the singer was once a cherished part of their partner's life, but their actions or decisions led to a distance between them. The next line, "And now I stand outside as I look inside," is a reflection of the alienation that the singer feels towards their own self as they are unable to reconcile with their past mistakes.
The following lines, "Sometimes I wish I wasn't the one who did what's right, maybe then I would be with you tonight," highlight the conflict within the singer's mind. They wonder whether their principles and righteousness came at too high a cost, pushing away the person they love. The refrain "Again I turned and walked away, I tried to stop myself I couldn't stay" portrays the singer's attempts to mend the situation but failing to do so. They realize that their nature plays a crucial role in their actions, and their efforts to fight it have had consequences.

At times, I regret being the person who always did the right thing, as I feel it has led to the loss of our relationship.
