Clarity
Zedd Ft. Foxes (Mr. Acapella) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fight fear for the selfish pain, it was worth it every time
Hold still right before we crash 'cause we both know how this ends
A clock ticks 'til it breaks your glass and I drown in you again
'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?
Walk on through a red parade and refuse to make amends
It cuts deep through our ground and makes us forget all common sense
Don't speak as I try to leave 'cause we both know what we'll choose
If you pull, then I'll push too deep and I'll fall right back to you
'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?
Why are you my clarity?
Why are you my remedy?
Why are you my clarity?
Why are you my remedy?
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?
The lyrics to Zedd Ft. Foxes (Mr. Acapella)'s song Clarity describe the tumultuous and confusing nature of a relationship. The opening lines talk about diving into frozen waves, where the past and all its memories come back to life. The singer is fighting fear and selfish pain, but ultimately decides that the pain is worth it for the love they share. The lyrics also touch on the idea that the relationship is doomed to fail, as they both know how it will end. The clock ticking until it breaks the glass symbolizes the limited time they have before the relationship shatters.
The chorus repeats the question, "If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?" This line highlights the co-dependence and irrationality of love, even when it brings pain and hardship. The second verse describes the couple walking through a red parade, perhaps symbolizing the passion and danger in their relationship. They cut deep through the ground and ignore common sense, but eventually realize that they need to leave. However, they know that they will end up falling back into each other's arms despite the hurt and pain.
Overall, the song is a commentary on the complicated and often nonsensical nature of love. Despite the pain and uncertainty, people continue to chase after love and rely on it to bring clarity to their lives.
