| Sarah Blasko – Amazing Things Lyrics | 17 years ago |

This song has a really dreamy, languid sound to it, it's awesome. I think it's about an internal battle - you do and you don't want to fall in love again. The narrator wants to experience all the good things that go with being in love - they want that amazing stuff, but they're also afraid of being hurt. Perhaps they've been hurt in the past...maybe they're telling themselves they're more immune to falling in love than they really are. I really love the last line."And this love you fear is such a precious thing." Gorgeous, and so true. |

"It reminds me of a person who is kinda incapable of really loving someone, but are very dependent on them. The other person is never really getting the full them (and he will find another person to take that role and love him better than her)." I think you are bang on there, pinypek. I get the impression the narrator is unable to fully love the other person, but there are issues of emotional dependency. Love is supposed to be black or white... The video clip for this song is pretty instructive too. It's like she's confessing in it...trying desperately to explain to the person she's breaking up with why she's doing what she's doing... |

I think this song is about knowing you don't love someone quite enough, and that leaving is the best way forward for both of you, but it's incredibly difficult to do as you've become one over time. It's very easy to lose your own identity in a close relationship and you can get to the point where you know the only way to save that individual identity is to break up, particularly if you're unsure if you love the other person as much as they seem to love you. When you face that realisation its absolutely agonising. Stay with the person because you can't stand to hurt them and continue to feel like you've lost yourself entirely...or leave and break their heart and cause an enormous sense of dislocation for both of you? Missy is hoping that when she gets the strength to move on someone better, more deserved, will come along to fill the void for her partner. |
