Do you excel at being free? Please tell me how someone can excel at being free.

"In the twist of seperation
you excelled at being free
can't you find a little room inside for me"

    Without listening to the song, perhaps it's a reference to one person being very comfortable on their own in life, with no significant other -- "being free" - - and the other person sort of resents that this person has been so seemingly at ease in finding that freedom without the other person -- "find some room for me."

    Very close! :)

    Song is: "I Want You Back for Good". So it's about a former relationship. But how can one excel at being free? lol

    I sometimes feel like I excel at nothing, ha!
    :)

    I don't know --  I can see individuals from former relationships looking at their ex's and thinking, "Sh**! The seem so happy, care-free and successful on their own! Did I mean nothing to him/her? They're excelling at being on their own, being free from me!" 

    I've been in a couple of situations in which I've felt that way a bit. Nothing pathological or anything, though.

    I understand what it means, of course I do, but I still don't way he selected the word "excelled". It doesn't sound too bad when singing it in a song, but can you imagine using that word in a spoken conversation? lol 

    Let's try it. "Darling, I miss you! You are single, and you are excelling. 

    Hehehe ;p

    My aM alert system doesn't work right -- just now saw, by chance, your reply. Sorry I didn't acknowledge. (JustAsking suggested some things but they all sounded too complicated to me.)
    Anyway, somehow "excel" still sounds OK with me!
    Ha!

    When Robbie Williams left me . . . I felt that way.
    ;)

    I forgot this song -- I've liked it always.
