Symmetry Lyrics

Cover art for Symmetry lyrics by Mew

This song is about a person who desperately wants to let go, but every single time they hear or see the person they want to let go of...they can't. Against their own will they give them all the benefits of all the doubts they had. It's "funny how you always get through" No matter what this person does, they will ALWAYS be untouchable in the eyes of the writer of the song. It's about crafting an idea of the person in one's mind, only to find out that the worst is the real truth. "Truly with you the worst is always true." Lying to himself, the writer tries to convince himself that he feels absolutely nothing. But it's a lie. A lie that won't fade away no matter how hard he tries to erase it from his memory. Because "ironically, you will always be...belle of the ball....at least to me"
