Lyrics meaning

The speaker looks back on a romance from when he was younger. It brought both happiness and pain: the couple argued often, yet also repeatedly made each other feel deeply loved. Now they are apart, and he hopes that finding her again could let them begin anew. The emotion moves between fond remembrance, distress, and stubborn hope.

Calling the relationship a โ€œfairytaleโ€ suggests that he sees it as extraordinary or ideal, perhaps more like a dream than an ordinary romance. The repeated contrast between fighting and falling in love shows how intense and unstable it felt. Saying he is โ€œalready cursedโ€ is likely an exaggerated way to express how trapped he feels by his love, rather than a literal curse.

The lyrics leave open whether the speakerโ€™s devotion is romantic or unhealthy. His willingness to suffer and โ€œloseโ€ his mind may show how strongly he longs for the woman, but it may also suggest that he is clinging to an idealized memory. The hope of a โ€œbrand new startโ€ could be sincere, though the song does not tell us whether they will meet again or whether the relationship could truly change.
