Joji - A Glimpse of Us
Series of Song of the Month.
Who doesn't listen to Joji lately?
His song has been a hit for a couple of weeks where people relate to it depend on their personal experience. Some of them starts to worry if their partners actually think of their exes while spending time with them.
To me, this song touches my personal story too. Not to my exes or my current partner. But myself.
She'd take the world off my shoulders
If it was ever hard to move
She'd turn the rain to a rainbow
When I was living in the blue
The lyrics hit me so badly, more on to how I let myself struggle for somebody else. How do I know and still let her to cry and carry so much burden when she says she can no longer hold it in.
Why then, if she is so perfect
Do I still wish that it was you?
Perfect don't mean that it's working
So what can I do? (do ooh)
How I wish others would put the same effort as I do. But then I realise that today was built on sacrifices and efforts of our own.
Tell me he savors your glory
Does he laugh the way I did?
Is this a part of your story?
One that I had never lived
These words come through me as if she's asking if my efforts are worth all the sacrifices she made of my choices. As if she's talking to me that nobody would treat me the way she does.
Said I'm fine and said I moved on
Have you ever told yourself repetitively that you're ok or gonna be ok? That's me. Every day. When I wake up, have thoughts, in between meals, take a bath, and go to sleep. Basically all the time all day.
What I'm trying to say is, that the song may sound romantic and represents the relationship of two beings. To me, it's my relationship with my inner self.
Nothing wrong, you feel it yourself.
