Just the Same
Venerea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What about your constant missing out, not being there?
You always overwhelmed me with your passion, with your glow
But it ended up a tragedy
Look at us now and you'll see we're just the same, just the same
Our bittersweet, sweet symphony sounds just the same, just the same
Cut me off, I'll cut you off, let's kill all that is left, let's start today!
You keep looking back, you dig in the remains
But there's nothing left but an open enfected sore
You still try to reach my hand, but it makes no difference
If I'll pull you up, you'll run away again
[repeat chorus]
In the song "Just the Same" by Venerea, the singer addresses a former partner who has been unreliable and absent. The singer points to times when the partner has let them down and failed to show up. Despite this, the partner overwhelmed the singer with their passion, only for the relationship to end tragically. Now, the two have reunited, and the singer notes that things haven't changed. The partnership has a bittersweet quality to it, like a symphony that is hauntingly familiar.
The singer then suggests a kind of finality, a severance of ties. They propose cutting each other off entirely, so that all that remains can be left behind as they start again. While the former partner tries to hang on, attempting to mend the relationship, the singer is certain that it's time to move forward without them, with or without their hand. The song seems to be an indictment of a relationship that is volatile and ultimately untenable, and the singer is ready to put it to rest.
