Schedules

In 'Schedules,' Sigrid explores the complexities of modern relationships, particularly those that thrive despite—or perhaps because of—chaotic lives. The song opens with the singer reflecting on a moment of mistaken identity, where she thinks she sees someone in a crowd but realizes it's just her mind playing tricks. This sets the tone for a narrative that acknowledges the messiness of life and love. The lyrics emphasize the importance of being understood and accepted for who you are, flaws and all.

The chorus, with its catchy refrain, 'I know that my schedule is fucked up, but baby you know you're the same,' highlights a mutual understanding between the two individuals. They both lead hectic lives, but instead of letting it be a barrier, they see it as a common ground. This shared chaos becomes a foundation for their connection, making them feel like a 'hit.' The song suggests that perfect timing and ideal circumstances are overrated; what truly matters is the genuine bond they share.

Sigrid's approach to this theme is refreshingly honest and relatable. She doesn't shy away from admitting that their relationship might be 'begging for trouble' and that she is willing to 'misbehave' for once. This rebellious streak adds a layer of excitement and spontaneity to the relationship, making it feel special and unique. The repeated lines in the bridge, 'I think that we are,' reinforce the singer's conviction that despite the imperfections, their relationship is something worth cherishing. The song ultimately celebrates the beauty of finding love in the midst of life's chaos, embracing imperfections, and valuing genuine connections over societal expectations of 'perfect timing.'
