Make You Better
by
The Decemberists
A poignant exploration of love and loss, this song delves into the dynamics of a relationship that has seen its better days. The protagonist yearns for the past, when love was new and everything seemed perfect. He is caught in a cycle of wanting and needing his partner to 'make him better', indicating an emotional dependence. However, he also acknowledges that they are no longer as 'starry-eyed' as they once were. The lyrics suggest a longing for change, a desire to reclaim the spark that once existed in their relationship. Yet there's also an acceptance that time has altered them and perhaps, made them better individuals despite the pain involved. #LoveLost #TimeHeals
