    This song is the complete epitome of acceptance and moving on but will forever be having that agony for not ending up with someone you knew could have been 'the one'. If only you two share the same feelings, and if only the universe and destiny transpired you two to be together, it could've been something beautiful. But it didn't. 🙂 And you'll end up with no choice but to let go.

    Notice how the background of the lyric video is a pool/fountain with lots of pennies in it? Every pennie was thrown with a wish behind it. And the lyric „roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool. And of my wishes came true, it would‘ve been you“. She really wished that this one person would‘ve been the 1 for her. So every pennie we see lying in the bottom are all of her wishes that this person would‘ve been the one.
    This song is literally poetry.

    I’ve seen multiple people say it’s weird to feel sad about a celebrity couple that doesn’t even know you, but when someone says something like “I hope I never loose you, hope it never ends, I’d never walk Cornelia street again.” or “Hold onto the memories, they will hold onto you, and I will hold on to you…”, it’s basic empathy to feel saddened for them…

      The interesting thing is how she sings it. I'm listening to the song right now and if I didn't look at the lyrics, I wouldn't have known this line was so heavy. The musicality of the song really makes it feel like a _post_-examination of the relationship. She's reaching the tail end of depression and entering acceptance. However, this is just this line, and I'll have to check out the rest of the song. I think you're (still) spot-on.

    Why did I only just realise that the use of "pennies" was deliberate. Firstly, to correspond with "the 1" since pennies are worth 1 cent. And secondly, because pennies are worth 1 cent, they may seem to be worthless. But in the grand picture, tossing pennies and then having the wishes come true (aka getting the 1 person of your dreams) means an inexplicable, infinite value. I'm in awe.

    I have this on repeat for two days now. I've broken up a 6/7-ish relationship with a man I loved so so much. It was an okay relationship, it had its moments, but it became very evident that he didn't like me. I believe he might have grown to love me but he didn't like me, it's made me so passive, apathetic, and lifeless. He had plans in life but none for me, I was just a passenger. One day, I just woke up and decided that I didn't wanna be "not liked" anymore.
    It's been months since the break up, and I've went on dates a couple times now. Nothing compares to how I feel for him tho.
    He asked me to stay, but I know he will never like me so I still had to go. I don't know if I'll ever come across a relationship fit for me.
    But we were something, and if I could wish for someone, he would've been the one.

    this line just hits different when you had someone in your life that told you that they value you but show the complete opposite. I got out of the relationship because I felt a lot of uncertainties and he never gave me reassurance.. but to this day.. i kinda hope he would come back. but then, I know I shouldn't wait for someone who's unsure about me.

  • @anahitakumari6171
    @anahitakumari6171 Před 3 lety +6392

    According to me, this song is about a woman who is looking back on a relationship that ended. The woman seems to moved on from the pain of the loss, but still wonders how they could have come close to a lifetime together and parted ways. As she's speaking to her ex-lover, she wants to know if there's anything she could have done differently to keep them together.
    The first verse she tells her ex-lover that she's doing well and learning to live her life to the fullest (Been saying "yes" instead of "no") She thinks of him at times, and thought she saw him at the bus stop. "I hit the ground running each night" might mean that while she's enjoying her life, she does notice that she's not doing those things with him. She reflects on their relationship, and decides that just because it didn't work out, doesn't mean their love wasn't worth it.
    The pre-chorus she was surprised that they ended but now she has come to terms with it and used the painful experience to grow even more as a person (And if you never bleed, you're never gonna grow)
    The chorus she remembers their time together and muses that they "were something" special (But we were something, don't you think so?). If the wishes she had made when they were together had come true, he would have been the one she spent her life with (And if my wishes came true It would have been you). It's unclear if she still wants that. She admits that it's her fault too(In my defense, I have none For never leaving well enough alone). Whether she still wants to be with him or not, she thinks it would have been fun if he had been the one she settled down with, so their story together could go on for the rest of their lives.
    The second verse she hopes that he's enjoying his life and moving on too (I have this dream you're doing cool shit)
    She thinks that their relationship was worth it even though it ended, by deciding their love was one of the greatest of "all time"(You know the greatest love of all time are over now)
    In the bridge she finds it difficult to leave her questions unanswered. Still, she resists, the urge to ask if he thinks that they might still be together if things had happened only a little bit differently.
    In the 2nd chorus she admits that she has "no defense" for "digging up the grave" of their love to talk with him, but she keeps thinking about how close they seemingly came to staying together permanently.
    Sorry it's a bit long but I found this interesting and wanted to share my thoughts feel free to tell me what you think the song is about and if you want to add something. I didn't see any comment talking about this so if someone has already written it then I'm sorry

    It's just so weird to think that we fall in love with people and think they're the one, only to find out they never were after things happen and we go our separate ways. This song reminds me of the time I was in Rome and throwing pennies into the Trevi Fountain with the girl I was in love with. Something in the back of my mind was telling me it was the last day I was spending with her and I threw my pennies wishing to see her again and begging for it not to end. A few hours later we ended things because time wasn't right and no matter how much we love each other it would never work for several reasons. It was the last time I saw her and I cried my eyes out in my walk back to the hotel. Needless to say my wishes didn't come true and maybe she really isn't the one but back then it felt right and now I wouldn't have changed anything knowing all the pain I have been through in her absence. She made me the happiest, I really hope she's doing well out there.

    The only reason we broke up is that our perspectives on the world are different, and there are points where our boundaries that we can not change overlap with each other. This song is so on point in my case. I will listen to this over and over again during my breakup depression ngl. I wish a happy relationship for both myself and him separately...❤

I always wonder what could've happened if my wishes came true? I'd probably still be tired af😂 but at least it would be something I actually enjoy and want. It's been 3 years and I haven't felt any satisfaction or happiness in this course, just empty solving, I can't even see myself working in finance. It would've been fun if I followed my dreams no matter what other people said. If one thing had been different, I'd probably won't be this empty.
    In my defense I have none, it's too late to go a different path. If I wanted it, I really shouldve showed.
