T.H.T.
Sum 41 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It only lies in your behalf in animosity.
You decide it's up to you, make it what you'll be.
After all you seem to be it makes no sense to me.
Don't point your finger at me
It's all your odyssey.
It's such a foolish game so quick to point the blame
And now tables have turned.
The lyrics to Sum 41's song T.H.T. are about a relationship in which one person is always blaming the other for their problems. The singer is frustrated with this dynamic, as they feel that the other person is not taking responsibility for their own actions. The line "You don't have the answers but you're always blaming me" speaks to this resentment, as the singer sees the other person as someone who is quick to place blame without actually trying to find solutions.
Despite this, the singer acknowledges that the other person has the power to change their situation. They sing, "You decide it's up to you, make it what you'll be." However, the singer is still skeptical of the other person's ability to do so. They admit, "After all you seem to be it makes no sense to me." In other words, the singer doesn't have faith that the other person can change.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's frustration with the other person's tendency to blame them. They sing, "Don't point your finger at me / It's all your odyssey / It's such a foolish game so quick to point the blame / And now tables have turned." The use of the word "odyssey" is interesting here, as it implies that the other person's journey or story is one of blame and resentment. The singer sees this as a foolish game, and notes that the tables have turned--perhaps meaning that the blame is now being placed back on the other person.
