Useless ID Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The chance to relive it again
Amazing how she walked into my life
The door was open maybe all the way
What a sad day
It's all over, she gave me presents
What am I thinking?
She took her guess
And I stood this long test
She was my queen
Never to be seen
The same, too long and I'm still playing games
What's up? always saying goodbye
Nothing new waits for me straight in view
Just yesterday's news
Running away to this land far away
Exists only in my dreams
What if it were true
Fantasies, pretend
She's alice in wonderland
It's hard now to say that I fell in love with you
The song "Presents" by Useless ID tells the story of a man who reminisces about his past relationship and the gifts his former partner gave to him. The first line, "Question: who is it?" suggests that the singer is uncertain about the identity of the person he is thinking about. However, in the following lines, he reveals that she walked into his life and even though the door was open, it was still a sad day. This could mean that he was not quite ready for a new relationship when she came along.
He then reflects on the gifts that she gave him, which left a lasting impression. Even though the relationship is over, he is still writing songs about her, wondering what he was thinking when he let her go. The line "She took her guess, and I stood this long test" suggests that there were some challenges in the relationship, but he was willing to go the distance for her.
As the song progresses, the theme of regret becomes more evident. The singer acknowledges that he has been playing games for too long and saying goodbye too often, leaving him with nothing but yesterday's news. He wonders what his life would be like if he had not run away, and ponders the possibility of a different reality.
Overall, "Presents" is a poignant reflection on a failed relationship and the lingering effects of lost love. The song touches on themes of regret, missed opportunities, and the pain of letting go.
