poetry in Symmetry

i love this song. i love the girl's voice, i love the part when the male lead raises his key and his falsetto melts together into the girl's voice, i love the whole mood of the song, i love how unhurried the tune is.

this is definitely my favourite song of Mew's.

Mew - Symmetry

I'm caught in the symmetry of your mind

But I'm not happier than you

I'm caught in the symmetry of your mind

But I'm not happier than you

Did I really see you
Or was it a dream?

Dream
ing that it was seamless

Not a trace of wrong

Wrong
words that we have spoken

Little did we know

No
bigotry, no tears shed

Oh if only...


Only
you'd try to be polite

Thinking you were right

Only to find that you're unkind

But ironically you will always be

Belle of the ball at least to me


I'm caught in the symmetry of your mind

But I'm not happier than you

But my words are frail

Not audible they do

Do
not even convince me

Perhaps they are untrue

Tru
ly with you the worst is always true

I gave you all the benefits

Of all the doubts I had

Never hoped to be as benign as me
Funny how you always get through

But ironically you will always be

Belle of the ball at least to me
