Lyrics & Translation

[English]

you know what sucks

Realizing that everything you believe in is complete and utter bullshit.

sucks

what do u mean ?

uh, u know destiny and soulmates

true love

and all that childhood fairytale

non senses

you were right, i should've listen to you

no

yeah, what

why are u smiling?!

ohh

what!

why are u looking at me, like that

well, you know

I guess it's 'cause...

I was sitting in a deli and reading Dorian Gray, and...

a guy comes up to me and...

asked me about it, and...

now he's my husband.

Yeah. And... so?

So, what if I'd gone to the movies?

What if I had gone somewhere else for lunch?

What if I'd gotten there 10 minutes later?

It was...

It was meant to be.

And I just kept thinking,

- Tom was right. - No!

Yeah, I did.

I did.

It just wasn't me that you were right about.

I should go.

But I'm really happy to see that you're doing well.

Key Grammar Structures

• Realizing that everything you believe in is complete and utter bullshit.

  ➔ Subjunctive mood (implied) & emphatic adjectives

  ➔ The sentence expresses a strong, negative realization. The use of 'complete and utter' intensifies the adjective 'bullshit', creating a dramatic effect. The 'realizing' implies a shift in belief, a move away from previous convictions.

• you were right, i should've listen to you

  ➔ Past perfect modal (should have + past participle)

  ➔ This expresses regret for not taking the other person's advice in the past. The structure 'should have + past participle' indicates an action that *could* have happened but didn't, and the speaker now regrets it. The contraction 'should've' is common in spoken English.

• So, what if I'd gone to the movies?

  ➔ Third conditional (past perfect in the 'if' clause, conditional perfect in the main clause)

  ➔ This is a rhetorical question exploring alternative possibilities. The third conditional is used to speculate about a past situation that didn't happen and its hypothetical consequences. 'I'd gone' is a contraction of 'I had gone'.
