Unbelievable
Anna F. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You burden me with your questions
You'd have me tell no lies.
You're always askin' what it's all about,
Don't listen to my replies.
You say to me I don't talk enough,
But when I do I'm a fool.
These times I've spent, I've realized,
I'm gonna shoot through, and leave you.

The things, you say,
Your purple prose just gives you away.
The things, you say,
You're unbelievable.

You burden me with your problems,
By telling me more bout mine.
I'm always so concerned,
With the way you say,
You're always at stop,
To think of us,
Being one is more than I'd ever known.
But this time I realize,
I'm gonna shoot through, and leave you.

The things, you say,
Your purple prose just gives you away.
The things, you say,
You're unbelievable.

Seemingly lastless, don't mean you can ask us.
Pushing down the relative
Bringing out your higher self
Think of the fine times
Pushing down the better few
Instead of bringing out just want, the world,
And never think of your attitude.
Brace yourself, with the grace of ease,
I know this world, ain't what it seems!
You burden me with your questions
You'd have me tell no lies.
You're always askin' what it's all about,
Don't listen to my replies.
You say to me I don't talk enough,
But when I do I'm a fool.
These times I've spent, I've realized,
I'm gonna shoot through, and leave you.

The things, you say,
Your purple prose just gives you away.
The things, you say,
Before I love you more.
The things, you say,
Your purple prose just gives you away.
The things, you say,
You're unbelievable.

You're so unbelievable.

You're unbelievable.
You're unbelievable.

Overall Meaning

The song ‘Unbelievable’ by Anna F. seems to be about a relationship in which one partner is burdening the other with too many questions and problems. The lyrics reveal the singer’s frustration with their partner’s constant questioning and lack of understanding of their feelings. The line “You burden me with your questions, You'd have me tell no lies” suggests that the singer feels pressure to be honest, but their partner doesn’t want to hear anything that may be uncomfortable or difficult for them. However, the partner’s insistence on knowing everything is paradoxically contrasted with their lack of attention to the singer’s replies. Despite their partner’s attempt to get closer, the singer is ready to move on and leave this relationship behind, as shown in the line “I’m gonna shoot through, and leave you”.

Digging more into the song’s lyrics, the line “Seemingly lastless, don't mean you can ask us” could mean that both partners are trying to push each other to be something they are not. The partner is trying to bring out the singer’s “higher self”, while the singer is trying to push their partner to be better. However, this attempt to force each other into something else is ultimately futile as they both need to start accepting their true selves.
