Nothing's Wrong
Architecture in Helsinki Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We can agree
A wicked decision
Nothing's wrong with you and me
A week in the forest
A week in the fog
You'll be sad to hear that
I I I I I was robbed
And we're gonna own it
A fist to the voice
And we've found the music
Why did you try at the choice?
And decapitation
for failing to see
Nothing in this whole wide world saves us from this situation
[Nothing can save us]
Don't stop talkin' to me please
baby cut me all to pieces
If you really want hell, hell
Ripped apart by the crows not the vultures
No one in this fair new world can talk us through this situation
Speak in the garden
You burn down the trees
I'll leave out the teasin'
while you are down on one knee
Never is heavy
and heavy is fine
but only in the street man
you ate your words wrong this time
It's wicked where you tread
Shot an arrow in your head
Since the apple wasn't there, yeah.
Ripped apart by the crows and the vultures
Ignore me in the parking lot
I'm petrified by conversation.
It's wicked where you tread
They shot an arrow at your head
Since the apple wasn't there, yeah.
We're ripped apart by the crow and the vultures
Ignore me in the parking lot
I'm petrified by conversation.
The lyrics to Architecture in Helsinki's song "Nothing's Wrong" are cryptic and open to interpretation, but there are a few themes that seem to emerge. The song starts with the eerily cheery line "A wicked decision / We can agree," which sets a foreboding tone. The chorus repeats the phrase "Nothing's wrong with you and me," which seems to be a desperate attempt to convince themselves that everything is okay.
The rest of the lyrics are a mish-mash of surreal images and seemingly disconnected phrases. The line "A week in the forest / A week in the fog / You'll be sad to hear that / I was robbed" hints at a loss of innocence or a disillusionment with the world. The lines "And we've found the music / Why did you try at the choice?" could be interpreted as a statement about the power of music to connect people, or it could be a reference to the illusion of choice in our society.
The line "decapitation / for failing to see" is particularly jarring and suggests violence or punishment of some kind. The final lines "Ignore me in the parking lot / I'm petrified by conversation" seem to tie the song back to a sense of isolation or disconnect from the world around them.
Overall, the lyrics to "Nothing's Wrong" create a fragmented and surreal portrait of a relationship, set against a backdrop of societal disillusionment and isolation.

We can agree
We both acknowledge it
A wicked decision
We both made a bad decision
Nothing's wrong with you and me
But there's nothing wrong with us
A week in the forest
We spent a week in the wilderness
A week in the fog
We were lost in the fog
You'll be sad to hear that
Unfortunately, I was robbed
I I I I I was robbed
I was robbed (repeated lines for emphasis)
And we're gonna own it
We'll take responsibility
A fist to the voice
We'll fight for what we believe
And we've found the music
We've discovered something important
Why did you try at the choice?
Why did you bother making the decision?
And decapitation
A severe punishment
for failing to see
Because we didn't realize
Nothing in this whole wide world saves us from this situation
There's no saving us from this problem
[Nothing can save us]
(Reiterated for emphasis)
Don't stop talkin' to me please
Please keep communicating with me
baby cut me all to pieces
Even if it hurts me
If you really want hell, hell
If that's what you want
Ripped apart by the crows not the vultures
We'll face the consequences
No one in this fair new world can talk us through this situation
We're on our own
Speak in the garden
We'll have a talk outside
You burn down the trees
And destroy what's beautiful
I'll leave out the teasin'
I won't provoke you
while you are down on one knee
While you're vulnerable
Never is heavy
Sometimes things are hard
and heavy is fine
But that's okay
but only in the street man
Just don't take it too far
you ate your words wrong this time
You said the wrong thing
It's wicked where you tread
What you've done is evil
Shot an arrow in your head
You've caused your own downfall
Since the apple wasn't there, yeah.
Because you made the wrong choice
Ripped apart by the crows and the vultures
You'll face the consequences
Ignore me in the parking lot
You're avoiding me
I'm petrified by conversation.
You're scared to talk to me.
