Au Revoir Simone – Stay Golden Lyrics 15 years ago
i just heard this song today and i already love it
so..
she knew whatever relationship she was in was ending
maybe she didnt want it to end, but she knew was going to happen
she is feeling better everyday, little by little, but maybe its just because shes telling herself that
she has to feel better, like thats the thing someone has to do in her situation
then she says "im only waiting if you stay"
shell wait for whoever it is if they stay for her
so she still has emotions for this person, but knows that no matter
how much her heart wants to be with that person,
her head is telling her if they dont stay she should move on too
their faith was an illusion, they lied, they left her
they werent loyal to the realationship

"your expectation"
whoever shes talking about had expectations that she couldnt fulfill
and she feels better about not having to live up to their expectations
but theres still an emptiness in her heart where that person once was,
will it ever be filled?
who she was with lost their feelings for her, maybe they never really felt the same way she did
and then she hopes that all that persons future realtionships
keep them free, free of emotion, so they wont get attached

a person who never truely puts themselves into a relationship is complicated to deal with
you dont know what theyre thinking or how they feel
how do you deal with them?

when that person leaves her, leaves everyone else in their future,
they leave a space in every persons heart, the emptiness was once filled by their "love"
but a "careless bird" never really loves, a careless bird doesnt really understand it
or maybe theyre afraid

is the song really about the narrator?
or the careless bird leaving her?

the speaker is trying to get over her lover or friend or whoever
she loved someone and they didnt feel the same
its kind of simple

but the "complicated bird" seems a lot more...complicated =p
