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?
Dreaming 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
Truly 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
