The Scientist
Wen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come up to meet you tell you im sorry
You dont know how lovely you are
I had to find you tell you i need you
Tell you i set you apart
Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh lets go back to the start
Running in circles coming in tails
Heads are a science apart
Nobody said it was easy
Its such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start
I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science
Science and progress
Could not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
Oh when i rush to the start
Running in circles to see the tails
Coming back as we are
Nobody said it was easy
Its such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy




No one ever said it would be this hard
I am going back to the start

Overall Meaning

In "The Scientist", Wen sings about wanting to reunite with someone he loves and apologizing for any hurt he may have caused. He expresses admiration for the person, stating that they are beautiful and unique. He admits that he had to find them and tell them that he needs them in his life, and that he views them as separate and special from anyone else. The chorus repeats the phrase "Nobody said it was easy" twice, emphasizing the difficulty of their situation, but at the same time, stressing that they should not give up. He refers to himself as "just guessing at numbers and figures," suggesting that he doesn't know everything and may make mistakes, but that his heart speaks louder than science or progress. He asks the person to share their secrets and ask him questions, showing a desire for openness and trust in their relationship. While they may be running in circles and coming back to where they started, he is willing to go back to the beginning if it means they can be together.


One possible interpretation of this song is that it's about a couple who are going through a rough patch and trying to reconnect. The lyrics suggest that there may have been some misunderstanding or miscommunication between them, but that they still have strong feelings for each other. Wen's repetition of the phrase "take me back to the start" could be a plea to return to a time when they were happier and more in sync. The use of scientific language, such as "numbers and figures" and "science and progress," contrasts with the emotional tone of the song and suggests that while knowledge and expertise have their place, they are not the most important aspects of a relationship. Overall, "The Scientist" is a poignant and heartfelt ballad about love, regret, and the desire for a fresh start.
