Impossible
Ylkan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shout it from the rooftops
Write it on the skyline
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would
Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the rooftops
Write it on the skyline
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would
Be impossible
Impossible

Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the rooftops
Write it on the skyline
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would
Be impossible

The lyrics to Ylkan's song Impossible speak to the feelings of heartbreak and disappointment. The singer appears to be addressing someone, perhaps an ex-lover or a friend, telling them to "tell them" about the pain they are feeling. They want everyone to know that they were happy at some point, but now everything they had is gone. The repetition of the phrase "Tell them all I know now" points to a sense of urgency to get their message out.
The lines "All my scars are open/Tell them what I hoped would/Be impossible" highlight the singer's vulnerability and the fact that they had hoped for something that ultimately did not work out.
