Lyrics
[Intro] Yeah. Check the levels. Microphone check one, two. Let’s talk about the gray area. Where the light and the dark meet. [Verse 1] I'm analyzing the architecture, of a darker texture Trying to spark the lecture, be the soul protector It’s that bittersweet, duality, facing my mortality While cherishing the vitality, shifting my reality See, happiness is fleeting like a phantom in the opera Sadness is the anchor, yeah, the mantra of the proper Balance is the key, unlocking every single fetter Knowing that the sunny days will never make it better Than the rainy ones, it’s all a complicated mixture Framing up the moment inside a complex picture If I never knew the heavy, I could never feel the weightless If I never knew the hurry, I could never feel the patience [Chorus] It’s the salt in the sugar, it’s the cloud in the sky It’s the truth in the hello, and the tear in the goodbye It's a bittersweet symphony, playing on the street When the sorrow and the joy decide to meet Decide to meet... meet... [Verse 2] Yo, it’s the impermanence, burning like incense Breaking down the fences, heightening the senses I remember leaving home, feeling liberated But looking at my mother’s face, feeling devastated Two things true at once, a mental paradox Trying to find the keys to open up a pair of locks One door is the grief, the other is the gratitude Adjusting my perspective, shifting up the latitude We chase the light, but shadows give the definition It’s the human condition, the final expedition So I hold the bitter close, and I let the sweetness linger Like a diamond ring slipping off a callused finger [Chorus] It’s the salt in the sugar, it’s the cloud in the sky It’s the truth in the hello, and the tear in the goodbye It's a bittersweet symphony, playing on the street When the sorrow and the joy decide to meet Decide to meet... meet... [Outro] They go together. You don't get the blossom without the thorn. You don't get the dawn without the night. Keep the balance. Keep the balance. B-bitter... bitter... B-bitter...Bittersweet
