The core theme revolves around the line “And I’m still in love with the idea of loving you,” which is repeated throughout the song.
This suggests a disconnect between the singer’s feelings and the reality of the relationship.
The term “flux” symbolizes the ever-changing, unstable nature of their connection.
Lyrics like “It’s a state of flux, but it’s not enough” emphasize the insufficiency of this idealized love.
The singer acknowledges the sacrifices made (“I stole from myself just to make you complete”), highlighting a potential imbalance and hinting at the relationship’s detrimental impact.
The questions posed (“Would you be taking me higher? Would we be living as liars?”) further illustrate the uncertainty and doubt plaguing the singer, contrasting the idealized vision with a more realistic, potentially flawed, future.
