I'm Aquarius
Metronomy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just one fight and just one anniversary
So I never thought you'd be the one to up and leave
You said our love was written in the stars
But I never paid attention to my charms

And now I see how quick you must want to forget
'Cause you left the ring I bought you with your cigarettes
Well I can finish up if you don't want them
And I can take the ring back where I got it from

I can love it or
I can leave it
You said honey, I
Best be leaving
'Cause you're a novice and
I'm a Taurus and
I'm not gonna say
I'm not gonna do

Yeah, I can love it or
I can leave it
You said honey, I
Best be leaving
'Cause you're a Taurus and
I'm Aquarius and
I'm not gonna say
I'm not gonna do

Never thought about it sentimentally
Never saw just how much you thought I meant to me
Never learned about it in university
Never thought about it 'cause you're the first to see

And I'm aware of the procedure
But normally it's me that leaves her
I guess I'm finished up
It's time to move on
I'm taking the ring back to where I got it from

I can love it or
I can leave it
You said honey, I
Best be leaving
'Cause you're a novice and
I'm a Taurus and
I'm not gonna say
I'm not gonna do

I can love it or
I can leave it
You said honey, I
Best be leaving
'Cause you're a novice and
I'm a Taurus and
We've had problems, we're
Notorious for them
It's what your friends said, now
You're inside there, now
I've seen our stars but there's
Nothing aligning.
'Cause I'm Aquarius
Yeah, I'm Aquarius

I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius

Overall Meaning

The song "I'm Aquarius" by Metronomy is a melancholic and introspective piece that talks about a lost relationship. The song takes off with the singer remembering the last time he had an argument with his ex-girlfriend, reminiscing over the good times they shared together. However, he never realized how much she treasured his presence until she departed, leaving behind the ring he gifted her.


The song's lyrics are characterized by a self-awareness of the impact of the relationship on the singer. Despite this, he seems uncertain whether he should hold on to or let the ring and the memories fade away, especially since his partner holds conflicting signs with him. The song ends with a clear acceptance that despite the painful memories, some things just cannot align, hence acknowledging that he is an Aquarius.


In conclusion, "I'm Aquarius" is a song about reflection and acceptance, showing that sometimes relationships, regardless of how significant they are or how much they mean, can sometimes just not work out.

Just from fighting
Just one anniversary
So I never thought you'd be the one to up and leave
You said our love was
Written in the stars

But I never paid attention to my charts
But now I see how quick you must want to forget
Cause you left the ring I bought you with your cigarettes
Well I can finish up if you don't want them
And I can take the ring back where I got it from

I can love it, or
I can leave it
You said honey, I
Best believe it
Cause your a novice, and
I'm a taurus, and
I'm not gonna say
I'm not gonna do
I can love it, or
I can leave it
You say honey I
Best believe it
Cause you're a taurus, and
I'm aquarius, and
I'm not gonna say
I'm not gonna do

Never thought about it sentimentally
Never saw just how much you thought I meant to me
Never learned about it at university
Never thought about it cause your the first, you see
And I'm aware of the procedure
But normally it's me that leaves her
I guess I'm finished up. It's time to move on
I'm taking the ring back to where I got it from

I can love it, or
I can leave it
You said honey I, best believe it
Cause your a novice, and
I'm a taurus, and
I'm not gonna say
I'm not gonna do
I can love it, or I can leave it
You said honey, I
Best believe it
Cause your a novice and
I'm a taurus, and
We've had problems. We're
Notorious for them
It's what your friends said. Now
You're inside there. Now
I've seen our stars, and
There's nothing aligning. That's
Cause I'm Aquarius
Yeah I'm Aquarius

The lady was singing shoop doop doop aaah so many times that it sounds like at about 3:45 she wants to laugh! Listen carefully to it, it's kind of funny!
