Makes Me Wonder
♫ Maroon 5 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wake up, with blood-shot eyes
Struggled to memorize
The way it felt between your thighs
Pleasure that made you cry
Feels so good to be bad
Not worth the aftermath, after that
After that
Try to get you back

I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you

Give me something to believe in
'Cause I don't believe in you
Anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to try
Yeah, so this is goodbye

God damn, my spinning head
Decisions that made my bed
Now I must lay in it
And deal with things I left unsaid
I want to dive into you
Forget what you're going through
I get behind; make your move
Forget about the truth

I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you

Give me something to believe in
'Cause I don't believe in you
Anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference
It even makes a difference to try (yeah)
And you told me how you're feeling
But I don't believe it's true
Anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye

I've been here before
One day I'll wake up
And it won't hurt anymore
You caught me in a lie
I have no alibi
The words you say don't have a meaning
'Cause...

I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you and I...
And so this is goodbye

Give me something to believe in
'Cause I don't believe in you
Anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference
It even makes a difference to try
And you told me how you're feeling
But I don't believe it's true
Anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye
So this is goodbye, yeah




So this is goodbye, yeah
So this is goodbye, yeah

Overall Meaning

In "Makes Me Wonder," Maroon 5 explores the aftermath of someone who engaged in a thrilling physical relationship with someone they no longer have an emotional connection with. The opening verse denotes how the singer has a hazy memory of the pleasures between him and his lover, suggesting that the experience was short-lived or rather casual. The chorus reflects the singer's confusion and disillusionment with the relationship that has ended. He questions his investment in it and wonders if he ever cared truly for his partner in the first place. He subsequently seeks clarity by asking for something to believe in, but he ultimately accepts that it's time to let go and move on.


The second verse reflects the singer's regret about his past decisions and the missed opportunities before the relationship concluded. He wants to start afresh with his lover and reassure them that he can take care of them. However, the "truth" he wants to forget continuously haunts him, reminding him that he cannot ever go back to how it used to be with his lover. The bridge emphasizes the singer's resolve to overcome the confusion and pain of the relationship. But the push and pull between wanting to go back and the need to move forward render the conclusion inevitable.


Line by Line Meaning

I wake up, with blood-shot eyes
I woke up with tired and irritated eyes


Struggled to memorize
I found it difficult to remember


The way it felt between your thighs
The sensation I experienced between your legs


Pleasure that made you cry
The ecstasy that brought tears to your eyes


Feels so good to be bad
It's satisfying to be naughty


Not worth the aftermath, after that
The consequences are not worth the experience


After that
Following that situation


Try to get you back
Attempt to regain your love and attention


I still don't have the reason
I still don't know why


And you don't have the time
And you don't have enough time for me


And it really makes me wonder
This truly makes me ponder


If I ever gave a fuck about you
If I ever really cared about you


Give me something to believe in
Give me a reason to have faith


'Cause I don't believe in you
Because I don't have faith in you anymore


Anymore, anymore
No longer, no longer


I wonder if it even makes a difference to try
I question if my efforts even matter


Yeah, so this is goodbye
So this is farewell


God damn, my spinning head
God damn, my dizzy thoughts


Decisions that made my bed
Choices that led me to where I am


Now I must lay in it
Now I must accept it


And deal with things I left unsaid
And confront the things I didn't express


I want to dive into you
I want to fully immerse myself in you


Forget what you're going through
Ignore your personal struggles


I get behind; make your move
I follow your lead


Forget about the truth
Ignore what's real and true


And you told me how you're feeling
And you expressed your emotions to me


But I don't believe it's true
But I don't think it's sincere


So this is goodbye
So this is farewell


I've been here before
I've experienced this before


One day I'll wake up
Someday I will rise from bed


And it won't hurt anymore
And my pain will subside


You caught me in a lie
You discovered that I was dishonest


I have no alibi
I have no excuse


The words you say don't have a meaning
Your words are meaningless


'Cause...
Because...


And so this is goodbye
And so this is farewell

@@2Future4U We admire their "beauty" of the rich and famous. Are they truly beautiful? as they seem to have:
- hoofs for the legs
- bald heads
- animal faced /birds, dogs, wolves , you name it)
- tails
- horns


(Channels which share knowledge about this topic:
Divine truth1
offshoot100
Enalpekaf News)

But they "look" human?. Sure they do. They must hide, of we would kill them as we would then know, who they are (offspring of Cain = the cursed bloodline)
But they "look" human?. - it is just an illusion.
What`s underneath the illusion? - didn`t you already get a picture?


Ever noticed that every singer has at least 1 dark song?
Could it be, they sharing their experience after signing the blood contract?
M J – has “thriller”
K P – has “wide awake”

When they were a band.

@arthurgabriel4325

Before they turned into the Adams family

@dougxvale

I wish they could return to Kara's Flowers that would be dope. Ditch all of the clean pop style to a more alternative grunge persona

@ricoamordavila7496

Before Adam turned lame...

@shifalmohamed2512

@@dougxvale in last live their talks were saying like upcoming album will be good.... Like Adam said his dream writing team has quited and returned and this felt like they will be writing their new songs... Then James said that upcoming album is his favourite, he won't say that unless it has many guitar riffs.... James like songs with more guitar riffs like the sun
