Another Life Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
In this verse, the singer expresses a desire to be close to someone, but also acknowledges the risks involved in seeking perfection in love. She values the timeless nature of love, suggesting that true connection shouldn’t be rushed or forced. The line “I know you’re not the strange kind” shows trust and comfort with the other person.

[Pre-Chorus]
In the pre-chorus, the singer doesn’t want to make her partner feel uneasy or overwhelmed. She hints at being vulnerable, showing up as herself, without trying to impress. Her words reveal how much this person has control over her feelings, and she’s becoming aware of that power dynamic.

[Chorus]
The chorus reflects a longing for an alternate reality where the relationship could work if only the timing were different. She believes that if circumstances were right, they could be together and experience love fully. It’s a dream of possibility, where love isn’t constrained by timing or the situations in their lives now.

[Verse 2]
Here, the singer admits that she’s tired of trying to fit into someone else’s ideal. She doesn’t want to be the one that always waits up or plays second fiddle. She’s done trying to fix herself to match their expectations and just wants to be someone they can casually enjoy, without deeper commitments.

[Pre-Chorus]
In this pre-chorus, the singer reflects on how she’s lost herself in the relationship, becoming a shadow of who she once was. She allowed herself to forget her worth, putting aside self-respect for love, and even pushed away friends in the process. She recognizes now that she was too eager to please, sacrificing her true self for the relationship, and it left her feeling lost and disconnected from her identity.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats the idea of an alternate life where everything could align perfectly. The singer imagines that, in another time, love between them could thrive. She longs for the freedom to be loved and to love fully, without the pressures of timing, circumstances, or limitations.

[Outro]
The outro expresses a powerful feeling of longing and fate. The singer believes that, in another life, everything could be perfect between them. She talks about the idea of destiny, where the stars align and love can flourish. Even though they may not be together now, she vows to chase after that love, even if it means going after someone who’s no longer in her life. Her devotion is so strong that she’s willing to fight for it, regardless of the circumstances, showing how deeply she’s invested in the possibility of being with this person, even if only in another life. She wraps up with a repeated promise that she’ll always remember them and continue pursuing that connection, no matter what.
