The Gideons - On The Commencement Of Our Short-Lived Relationship

Copied!

I won't pretend I'm that enthused
About the things we said last night
I'm not all that much of a fan of you
I don't really want you in my life
That's just how it goes
I'm a vulture, you're a crow
I know you don't like me all that much
And I'm relieved

You think about yourself a lot
Of course I do the same myself
But I don't respect what mind you've got
And I feel as bored as I've ever felt
But that's just how it goes
I'm a vulture, you're a crow
I know you don't like me all that much
And I'm relieved

If you'd think back a little bit
On how I phrased my acceptance
You'd find I just talked bullshit
And madе no real commitments
I know I should have madе it clearer
But the circumstances were so deep
I feel no need to see you hurt
Just get the hell away from me
But that's just how it goes
I'm a vulture, you're a crow
I know you don't like me all that much
And I'm relieved

The meaning of the song

edit description

"On The Commencement Of Our Short-Lived Relationship" by The Gideons is a raw and honest reflection on a relationship that was doomed from the start. The lyrics express a lack of enthusiasm and genuine connection between the two individuals, with the protagonist admitting to not wanting the other person in their life. The metaphor of the vulture and crow illustrates the dynamic between the two, with one being predatory and the other being wary and cautious. Despite the lack of mutual respect and boredom, there is a sense of relief in acknowledging the inevitable end of the relationship. The song delves into the complexities of communication and the difficulty of navigating emotions when faced with difficult circumstances. Ultimately, the protagonist realizes the need to distance themselves from the other person for the sake of both parties involved.
