The meaning of the lyrics of the song "A Different Corner" by the artist "Wham!"

Contents

"A Different Corner" by Wham! is a song about a man torn between his feelings for his beloved and the fear of vulnerability that love brings.

The song begins with the lyrical hero reminiscing about his former naive ideas of love as something magical and rescuing. Now he doubts ("Was I here? Was I here?"), as if he doesn't recognize himself in these words.

He promised his beloved a lifetime, but the fear of losing her causes him unbearable pain. This pain is so strong that he doesn't dare to get truly close to her, afraid of becoming even more vulnerable.

The hero realizes that he himself pushed his beloved away ("I never really got to hold you through the years") and that only she can comfort him ("You're the only one that stops the tears"). He is afraid of his love because it makes him weak and dependent.

In the chorus, the hero dreams of turning back time to avoid meeting his beloved and the pain she brought him. He doesn't understand how she can remain indifferent to his suffering ("Don't you care at all?"), while he himself is completely broken by her ("Little by little you've been breaking me down").

At the end of the song, the hero confesses that he is afraid of being used in love. He is ready to return to loneliness, however painful it may be, just not to experience the pain of a broken heart again.

I'd say love was a magical thing

I'd say love would keep us from pain

Had I been there, had I been there

I would promise you all of my life

But to lose you would cut like a knife

So I don't dare, no I don't dare

'Cause I've never come close in all of these years

You are the only one to stop my tears

And I'm so scared, I'm so scared

Take me back in time maybe I can forget

Turn a different corner and we never would have met

Would you care

I don't understand it, for you it's a breeze

Little by little you've brought me to my knees

Don't you care

No I've never come close in all of these years

You are the only one to stop my tears

I'm so scared of this love

And if all that there is is this fear of being used

I should go back to being lonely and confused

If I could, I would, I swear
