Love Song--Bloc Party "Two More Years."

Bloc Party is a British indie band. The lyrics for the song "Two More Years":

In two more years, my sweetheart, we will see another view
Such longing for the past for such completion
What was once golden has now turned a shade of grey
I've become crueler in your presence

They say: "be brave, there's a right way in a wrong way"
This pain won't last for ever, this pain won't last for ever

Two more years, there's only two more years
Two more years, there's only two more years
Two more years so hold on

You've cried enough this lifetime, my beloved polar bear
Tears to fill a sea to drown a beacon
To start anew all over, remove those scars from your arms
To start anew all over more enlightened

I know, my love, this is not the only story you can tell
This pain won't last for ever, this pain won't last for ever

Two more years...

You don't need to find answers for questions never asked of you
You don't need to find answers

Dead weights, balloons
Drag me to you
Dead weights, balloons
To sleep in your arms

I've become crueler since I met you
I've become rougher, this world is killing me

And we cover our lies with handshakes and smiles
And we try to remember our alibis
We tell lies to our parents, who hide in their rooms
We bury our secrets in the garden
Of course we could never make this love last
I said of course we could never make this love last
The only love we know is love for ourselves
We bury our secrets in the garden.

I'm not exactly sure what will happen in the two years that they're referring to, but I think that's generally the point. Maybe two more years until graduation, until turning eighteen and being able to leave their home situation. Maybe two more years until a wedding or, really, anything.

What I took from this song was that it's hard to be with someone with depression. It's hard to make them feel worth it, to make them actually feel loved. And, on the other side, it's hard having depression, regardless of being in a relationship. Often, it's hard to make this sort of relationship work.

So, what I love about this song is that instead of the lead singer/songwriter, Kele, telling his partner to simply "get over it" or to "move on" from whatever traumatic event was experienced, he's saying that he knows they're sad, and that's okay. "This is not the only story you could tell," I feel, is an extremely powerful line to exemplify that. This song is uplifting and helpful in that he's recognizing sadness and saying that one day, at some point, it's going to be better. One day, it won't hurt so badly.

And here's the song.
