Not Invited
Ann Beretta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Luck's running dry from the four leaf clover
Too much distance killing me
I hope I make it back to you my friend
Beat by beat you tear your heart out
In defeat was there ever any doubt?
Too much distance killing me
I hope I make it back to you my friend,
Here I am and there's no second chances
Nothing left of me and you no last call romances
It's like I'm locked inside a room without a view
There's 100 Thousand voice in my head again
You're not invited in
Where did all the good times go and why?
Two by two we break another line
Too much distance killing me
I hope I make it
Day by day and still we're calling out
Heart to heart and still we're falling down
Too much distance killing me
I hope I make it out alive my friend
[Chorus]
[x6] I hope we make it out alive (This Time)...
[Chorus x2]
The lyrics of Ann Beretta's "Not Invited" depict a feeling of loneliness, distance, and heartache. The opening lines, "Calling out the whole world over, luck's running dry from the four-leaf clover," express a sense of desperation and the realization that luck is not on the side of the singer. The next lines, "Too much distance killing me, I hope I make it back to you my friend," suggest that the singer is far away from someone they care about and the distance is taking a toll on them. The following lines, "Beat by beat, you tear your heart out, in defeat was there ever any doubt?" further add to the sense of hopelessness.
As the song progresses, the chorus repeats the line, "You're not invited in," which suggests that the singer is shutting people out, perhaps to protect themselves from further hurt or disappointment. The lines, "Where did all the good times go and why? Two by two we break another line," suggest a sense of loss and a questioning of past experiences. The next lines, "Day by day, and still we're calling out, heart to heart and still we're falling down," express a longing for connection and an acknowledgment of the difficulties in maintaining relationships.
Overall, "Not Invited" is a melancholic song that portrays the struggles of dealing with distance, loss, and emotional pain.
