Division
♫ Aly and AJ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What were you missing? Were you just tripping?
Running away from your fear was the best you could do
You made this decision, you chose our division
And I have no regrets
I wish you the very best
In all that you do
Congratulations, now you are free
You have earned your degree
Yeah, you've graduated
This is your last separation from me
There'll be no more trying, no more coming back
No more forgiving you, no more thinking that
Somehow the sum will be different
By using division
Half of your friends would attend before they ever knew
Why they are going to this party I'm throwing
They would be thinking that I would be pleading to you
To get back together, well, how about never?
You're gonna miss me, Brad
So funny I had to laugh
You did this to you
Yeah, you did
Congratulations, now you are free
You have earned your degree
Yeah, you've graduated
This is your last separation from me
There'll be no more trying, no more coming back
No more forgiving you, no more thinking that
Somehow the sum will be different
By using division
Congratulations, you've graduated
You finally got your degree
In your last separation from me
Congratulations, you've graduated
To be all alone by yourself
Let me throw you a party, farewell
Farewell, farewell, farewell, farewell, well, well, well
Congratulations, yeah, yeah, yeah
The lyrics of "Division" by Aly and AJ speak of a breakup between two people where one chooses to leave the other behind. The lines "You chose to surrender the best thing that's happened to you, What were you missing? Were you just tripping?" suggest that the person who left the relationship may have been confused about their feelings and made a hasty decision. The chorus repeats the phrase "Congratulations, now you are free," which can be interpreted as the singer congratulating the other person for making the difficult choice of ending the relationship, but also suggests a strong sense of bitterness and sarcasm.
The verses go on to suggest that the person leaving the relationship may have been immature or cowardly, with lines such as "Running away from your fear was the best you could do" and "They would be thinking that I would be pleading to you, to get back together, well, how about never?" The singer seems to be resigned to the separation, but still feels a sense of loss and hurt, as indicated by the line "You're gonna miss me, Brad, so funny I had to laugh."
Overall, "Division" is a song about the end of a relationship and the mixed emotions that come with it. It highlights the feelings of anger, sadness, and bitterness that can accompany a breakup, as well as the sense of finality that comes with it.

There's a whole lotta things that I will forgive
But I just can't take a liar
I was by your side till the very end
'Til you pushed me in the fire
I tried to believe you but something is wrong
You won't look in my eyes tell me what's going on
It's you and me against the world?
You said, you said
If you can't be honest with me
Then I'm afraid this is the end
Hurry up, hurry up
If you ever really cared about me
Tell the truth, give it up
You sound guilty 'cause you're stuttering
Oh oh oh oh oh ey ey ey ey ey oh oh oh oh woah
Yeah you're stuttering
Oh oh oh oh oh ey ey ey ey ey oh oh oh oh woah
Yeah you're stuttering
Now the seconds turn into minutes now
But you won't give me an answer
You can tell me this, you can tell me that
But don't say you don't remember
'Cause I know you better than you know yourself
So don't say I'm crazy, I know very well
It's you and me against the world?
You said, you said
If you can't be honest with me
Then I'm afraid this is the end
Hurry up, hurry up
If you ever really cared about me
Tell the truth, give it up
You sound guilty 'cause you're stuttering
Oh oh oh oh oh ey ey ey ey ey oh oh oh oh woah
Yeah you're stuttering
Oh oh oh oh oh ey ey ey ey ey oh oh oh oh woah
Yeah you're stuttering
Oh oh oh oh oh ey ey ey ey ey oh oh oh oh woah
Yeah you're stuttering
Oh oh oh oh oh ey ey ey ey ey oh oh oh oh woah
Yeah you're stuttering
I I I don't don't wanna hear your so-o-rry now
The-uh-uh best thing you can do for me is just spit it out
I I I don't don't wanna hear your so-o-rry now
Stop stop stuttering your words
It's only making you look worse
Hurry up, hurry up
If you ever really cared about me
Tell the truth, give it up
You sound guilty 'cause you're stuttering
Oh oh oh oh oh ey ey ey ey ey oh oh oh oh woah
Yeah you're stuttering
Oh oh oh oh oh ey ey ey ey ey oh oh oh oh woah
Yeah you're stuttering
Keep on stuttering (yeah you're stuttering)
Keep on stuttering (yeah you're stuttering)
