Analysis of Trick of fate
I don’t believe in destiny.
I don’t believe in fate.
It would be a catastrophe
To prove me wrong to date.
Conjunctions, serendipities,
And fortune telling spells -
Exploiting people’s weaknesses
And fooling ourselves!
My set in stone principles
You blew away so quick...
So simple and invincible,
Your logic did the trick.
We missed two possibilities -
We couldn’t miss the third.
Our destiny’s ability
To show what we’ve ignored.
I do believe in destiny.
I do believe in fate.
It would be a catastrophe
To miss my soul mate.
