Nothing To Do With You
The Pigeon Detectives Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm okay I feel fine.
It's got nothing to do with you,
won't you leave me alone.
I'd like some time on my own,
It's got nothing to do with you.
Now you look at me strange,
like I should be ashamed.
like I'm lying but thats not true,
but this decision was mine.
and I'm okay i feel fine,
plus its got nothing to do with you.
I think I'm letting you go,
but there's one thing you should know.
It's got nothing to do with you,
I haven't found someone else.
It's just that I'm not myself,
and it's got nothing to do with you.
But still you look at me strange,
like I should be ashamed.
Like I'm lying but thats not true,
but this decision was mine.
I know in time you'll be fine,
and it's got nothing to do with you.
The Pigeon Detectives's song Nothing To Do With You delves into the complex emotions of a breakup, where the singer is trying to explain to their partner that the decision to end things was theirs alone and has nothing to do with them. Despite the fact that the singer claims to be okay and fine, their partner looks at them in a strange manner and assumes that they are lying and hiding something.
The lyrics highlight the struggle one goes through while breaking up with a partner while trying to stick to their decision without feeling guilty for hurting the other person. The singer doesn't want their partner to follow or question them and needs some "time on their own." The use of repetition of the phrase "It's got nothing to do with you" emphasizes what the singer feels - the decision to end their relationship was purely personal, and their partner shouldn't be blamed for it nor feel the need to suffer.
In conclusion, The Pigeon Detectives's song Nothing To Do With You portrays the complications that arise during a breakup, the need to stick to one's decision and not hurt the other person. Although the singer seems to be okay with the breakup, they are still struggling to deal with their emotions and reassure their partner that the end of the relationship has nothing to do with them.
