Summary

This quote suggests that the speaker feels misunderstood by the society they live in. They view their expression or ideas as unconventional, perhaps even nonsensical, to the civilized world. However, rather than trying to comprehend or engage with their unique perspective, the civilized world responds to them in a similar manner, speaking with incomprehensible or dismissive gibberish. This quote reflects a sense of frustration and isolation experienced by the speaker, as their attempts to communicate are met with a lack of understanding or recognition.

You bring my life joy I've never known. Please, marry me.
