Divide
V.O.D. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As much as I try and try and try
It's not helping me
One plus one we are sitting side by side
A flicker of hope resides inside my mind
My heart breaks, lie; say that I'm fine
No amount of kisses will make you stay
Even the umbrella can't keep the rain at bay
But even those are little calculations
Minus in my head
I peel myself off you
Nothing adds up without you
I just want to sing the blues
Sorry for confusing
Something with amusing
I know I am delusional
Periodically radically, emotional
Triumphantly a fool
But nothing changes the fact
I love you
Now I am sat here on my own again
Thinking jelly brain turns to mould
Sceptical and needing your hold
Thoughts dissolve into sinking sand
Heavy body release no escape planned
Harbouring what we once had
No amount of kisses will make you stay
Even the umbrella can't keep the rain at bay
I used to do simple maths equations
But even those are little calculations
Minus in my head
I peel myself off you
Nothing adds up without you
I… I just want to sing the blues
Sorry for confusing
Something with amusing
I know I am delusional
Periodically radically, emotional
Triumphantly a fool
But nothing changes the fact
I love you
The lyrics to V.O.D's song "Divide" are about the struggles of a love relationship that is coming to an end. The singer wishes they could divide or multiply, possibly referring to the desire to change the circumstances of their relationship or maybe to change themselves to make the relationship work. But despite trying and trying, it doesn't help. The singer's heart is breaking, but they are pretending to be fine, lying to themselves and their partner. They know that no amount of kisses or shelter from the rain will make their partner stay.
The singer remembers simpler times when they used to do trivial math equations, but even those calculations seem difficult now. They feel lost without their partner and are trying to make sense of their life without them. They apologize for the confusion and the amusing thoughts they have been having. They know they are delusional and periodically emotional, but they can't help the fact that they are still in love with their partner. They end the song by saying that they are alone, their thoughts are a sinking sand, and despite harboring what they once had with their partner, nothing can make them stay.
The lyrics to "Divide" accurately and heartbreakingly express the emotions that people feel when their relationship is falling apart. The simple metaphors and the use of numbers create a picture of someone trying to make sense of a confusing and difficult situation. The lyrics remind us that sometimes love is not enough to keep a relationship together, and even the simplest calculations can become tough.
