Destiny's Hand: The Power of Serendipity in Love
In Justin Bieber's song "coincidence," the artist delves into the concept of fate and the idea that certain events in life are not mere accidents but are meant to be. The repeated refrain, "Oh, ain't no such thing, as coincidence," sets the tone for the entire song, emphasizing the belief that the universe has a hand in bringing people together. This theme is explored through various scenarios where the singer encounters someone special in unexpected ways, suggesting that these moments are orchestrated by a higher power or destiny.
The lyrics paint vivid pictures of these serendipitous encounters, such as running into someone on the other side of the world or seeing their face on TV. These instances are described as "one in a billion," highlighting the improbability and thus the significance of these meetings. The song also touches on the emotional impact of these encounters, with lines like "Never had a night when I didn't toss and turn in my bed," indicating the deep emotional connection and the sense of inevitability that the singer feels.
Bieber also explores the idea of shared experiences and similarities, questioning the odds of two people having the same tastes and coming from the same place. This further reinforces the notion that their connection is not random but rather a part of a grand design. The song concludes with a reflection on love and destiny, with the singer expressing a belief in the power of fate and the idea that they are "meant to be together in every sense." This romantic and somewhat mystical view of love and life events makes "coincidence" a compelling exploration of the intersections between chance and destiny.
