Either Way
The Twang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My whole outlook's changed, I've even stopped feelin' strange.
I can understand why you was mad now,
Why should you be the one who has to loose out, just 'cause I'm on one?
I said "I'm always gonna have shit going on!"
I feel so much better today, chase the bad things away.
I was getting paranoid about the silliest of stuff.
I was at me wit?s end pulling my hair out, I'd just about had enough.
And all I needed was just a hug and that little bit of love.
I feel so much better today, chase the bad things away.
And I really do feel so much better, I really do feel so much better.
And I've gotta find my phone to tell yer,
Maybe even write you a love letter.
Either way I've gotta tell ya, either way I've gotta tell ya,
I feel so much better today, I've chased the bad things away.
And yeah I really do feel better and it almost don?t feel right,
So I'm gonna store this thought away for a bit,
And I'm not saying it ain't gonna be hard at times,
'Cause it's always your favourite top you bin,
But think man it could have been your skin.
And I think we might just be OK, but what does it matter either way,
'Cause she's the one that's always there.
Yeah she's the one that always cares.
Yeah she's the one that always there.
'cause your the one that always cares.
I love ya.
I've gotta find my phone to tell 'er
Ah, maybe even write you a love letter.
Ah, either way I've gotta tell ya, either way I've gotta tell ya,
Ah either way I've gotta tell ya, either way I've gotta tell ya,
Either way either way either way (lots of either ways)
The Twang's song Either Way tells a story of someone who has been going through a tough time, feeling paranoid and on edge, but has finally turned a corner and is feeling much better. The singer is reflecting on their past behavior and how it affected those around them, particularly their partner. They realize that their partner had a right to be angry and frustrated with them, but it wasn't fair for them to be the one to lose out just because the singer was going through a difficult time. The singer acknowledges that they will always have "shit going on," but they also express gratitude for their partner's love and support.
The song overall has a very positive message of hope and gratitude. The singer is energized by their newfound sense of wellbeing and is determined to hold onto it. They even talk about writing a love letter to their partner, which shows a strong desire to connect and express affection. The last few lines of the song emphasize that the most important thing is the love and support we give to each other, and that it's worth holding onto even during hard times.
Overall, Either Way is a heartfelt song about the ups and downs of life and the importance of relationships in getting through those tough times. It's a message that many people can relate to and find comfort in.
