The Metronome Lyrics

Cover art for The Metronome lyrics by Pinegrove

"Keep it together man We're all connected now Stay composed"

He believes in a philosophy by which he considers all beings as part of a whole. Yet when he sees the subject of the song with someone else he can't help but feel emotion and jealousy. This is also represented in the lyrics:

"I agree with your ideas but not your tactics"

While he accepts this philosophy as basically valid, he still holds on to feelings of ownership and monogamy (for lack of better terms) through his actions. She, however, accepts the philosophy and acts accordingly.

At least, this is how I take it.
