Unattainable

In 'Unattainable,' Little Joy delves into the complex emotions that arise when one's goals seem out of reach. The song opens with a poignant admission: 'Only when the goal is unattainable do I start to feel like I'm losing myself.' This line sets the tone for the entire piece, highlighting the internal struggle and sense of self-loss that accompanies the pursuit of seemingly impossible dreams. The 'deep secret' mentioned in the lyrics symbolizes the hidden desires and unspoken truths that remain buried within, adding layers of introspection and vulnerability to the narrative.

The chorus, 'I can't coerce you into this one, jealousy lay all your spells to bed, I'll choose unloved instead,' speaks to the futility of trying to force outcomes or manipulate emotions. The choice of 'unloved' over jealousy suggests a preference for authenticity and acceptance over the destructive power of envy. This sentiment is further emphasized in the lines, 'If only songs were sung to guide the doubtful ones beyond the rough where not as much is good enough.' Here, the artist yearns for a world where music could serve as a beacon of hope and guidance for those struggling with self-doubt and loneliness.

The song's closing lines, 'Oh if you find yourself amongst the lonely ones, I will be waiting you with open arms,' offer a glimmer of hope and solidarity. Despite the overarching theme of unattainable goals and unfulfilled desires, there is a promise of unconditional support and companionship. This duality of despair and hope makes 'Unattainable' a deeply resonant and emotionally rich song, capturing the essence of human longing and the quest for meaning in an often indifferent world.
