In Another Life
Tyla Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You kiss the beast, took her hand and
Made her your bride.
It all went wrong
In a spiral nightmare
There's nothing left
Except to stand in the mirror and stare.
All you had
The better food
It all got tasted
No longer French, just the language of love is lost.
You got caught and now you pay the cost.
Sitting by the phone
It never seems to ring anymore
Looking at your past
Spread out before you on the floor
You count the days like minutes
On your carpet pool
You dial a number
It means you all wasted smoke.
All you had
It all got wasted
The better food
It all got tasted
No longer French just the language of love is lost
You got caught and now you pay the cost.
It's a shame youy life got in the way
Drips of conversation, fillers just for a day
That's okay, Yeah
All you had
It all got wasted
The better food
It all got tasted
No longer French just the language of love is lost
You got caught and now you pay the cost.
It's not much to ask
In these fast and furious times
But being in love always seems
To be some kind of unwritten crime
Unwritten crime, yeah
All you had
It all got wasted
The better food
It all got tasted
No longer French just the language of love is lost
You got caught and now you pay the cost.
The song "In Another Life" by Tyla feels like a lament for lost love, but also a reflection on how that love was lost. The lyrics describe a relationship that seemed promising, but ultimately failed due to reckless behavior and a lack of appreciation for what they had. The opening lines of the song suggest that the singer was once in love with someone from the West Side. The lines "You kiss the beast, took her hand and/ Made her your bride" describe a romantic beginning, but the ultimatum in line three ("It all went wrong") signals that the relationship did not last. The lines "In a spiral nightmare/ There's nothing left" suggest that the singer feels trapped in the aftermath of the failed relationship.
The lines "No longer French just the language of love is lost" suggest that the magic of the relationship was lost due to things that were said and done. The reference to the "language of love" suggests that there was a time when the couple understood each other perfectly, but they lost it along the way. The use of "wasted" and "tasted" throughout the song suggests that the singer regrets the choices they made, perhaps implying that they prioritized temporary pleasures over lasting love. The line "Being in love always seems/ To be some kind of unwritten crime" describes a sense of societal pressure to avoid deep emotional connection. The song ends on the same note of loss and regret with "You got caught and now you pay the cost." Overall, the song seems to be about reckoning with the consequences of taking love for granted.
