Clarity Lyrics by Zedd
High dive into frozen waves
Where the past comes back to life
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
Our clock ticks till 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’s insanity
Why are you my clarity?
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?
CLARITY: the quality of being clear, in particular.
(Song meaning)
Showing extreme and a quite open ended love.
It’s basically saying that you can’t help, but love someone so much and staying beside that person is good even though it might be objectively better than to leave.
Hurting each other but at the same time, they need each others love.
Deeply and passionately love someone even though your love is really difficult, confusing and sometimes it maybe arguably not so good for you.
Trying to let go of someone you love but the need of each other is just so hard to resist that they still find themselves in each other arms.
Fighting and being emotional that results into pain.
They’re refusing to make amends, arguing and don’t know how to come up into a solution that suits them.
They stay angry at each other, even though they are still madly in love.
Trying to leave again after a fight, realizing that it’s the best decision, but they are too addicted to each other that leads into trying to make the right decision than leaving by begging and trying to persuade each other to stay.
Being selfish and crawling back to love again though it comes with a lot of pain since for them, it’s worth it.
They are in love but the fact is that they’re love is insane and maybe shouldn’t happen, or maybe it’s wrong for some reason.
But even though it’s insane and so much trouble comes in being together, they still fell ‘clarity’ on it because their love makes so much sense to them.
So on one level they know that being together is ‘insane’, but at the same time their love makes them feel so good and it just feels so right when things are going well.
