Accident
Milkbar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lock the doors and barricade your windows let your dogs outside
why do i need to remind you
Or take you places that you think you never heard of before
and scrap the fifth, there's chatter in the airwaves that will prove your point
Why do i need to remind you to tape
your stupid conversations just for arguments sake

Why do i need to remind you
that you can put up a smile to
Why do i need to remind you
of all the people that i know you're the only one i go to

I never said it was an accident, my dear
I never said it was an accident, my dear

I never told you to stop, so please continue what you're doing
step away from your ride, why do i need to remind you that faith
is nothing but a label for a weak state of mind

Why do i need to remind you
that i will try to deny you
Why do i need to remind you
of all the people that i know you're the only on i go to

I never said it was an accident, my dear
I never said it was an accident, my dear
I never said it was an accident, my dear
I never said it was an accident

And i know that you blame yourself but it doesn't change
anything, 'cause anything sells
And only because i already know, what will happen next

It was an accitent, my dear!

I never said it was an accident, my dear
I never said it was an accident, my dear
I never said it was an accident, my dear
I never said it was an accident...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Milkbar's song "Accident" are cryptic and open to interpretation, but seem to revolve around themes of paranoia, distrust, and the inevitability of certain outcomes. The singer of the song seems to be addressing someone who needs constant reminders to take precautions and protect themselves from possible danger. There are suggestions of eavesdropping and clandestine activities, with the repeated lines "Why do I need to remind you to tape / your stupid conversations just for argument's sake?" The singer also seems to be urging the listener to keep up a façade of happiness, even if their faith is wavering.


The chorus repeats the line "I never said it was an accident, my dear" several times, and in the final verse, there is a twist ending where the singer admits that something was, in fact, an accident. The final line of the song, "I never said it was an accident," is repeated several times, with the addition of the word "not" after the second repetition. This could be interpreted as a sign that the singer is unreliable or duplicitous, or that they are trying to hide something damning.


Overall, the song seems to be a meditation on the ways we try to protect ourselves and avoid unpleasant truths, even as we know that our efforts are ultimately futile. The repeated phrase "Why do I need to remind you" suggests frustration and weariness on the part of the singer, who may be trying to help someone who refuses to take their advice.
