Warning
Autre Ne Veut Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just a feeling, more like a warning
And everything that I’m telling you I can’t explain
Just a feeling, more like a warning
Like a warning
On/off, it goes, never gets better baby
Oh no no no no we
Oh no no no no we
What’s this thing baby, that I can’t explain?
Just a feeling, more like a warning
And everything that I’m telling you I can’t explain
Just a feeling, more like a warning
Like a warning, like a warning
Warning, warning, warning…
On/off, it goes, never gets better baby
Oh no no no no we
On/off, it goes, never gets better baby
Oh no, oh never we
In a time that you said that your worls was on fire
I would never wanna see your face again
In the world that your heart is screaming, find it Neverland
I was never low, let’s see the face again
And I run and tell you what I know you damage me
I would never wanna see your face again
In all the flames of the world that died ah
What’s this thing baby, that I can’t explain?
Just a feeling, more like a warning
The lyrics of "Warning" by Autre Ne Veut convey the experience of a disorienting and unsettling feeling that the singer can't describe or explain. This feeling is likened to a warning, something that cannot be ignored but also cannot be fully understood or acted upon. The repetition of the phrase "on/off, it goes, never gets better baby" reinforces this sense of uncertainty and unease, as if the feeling is constantly switching on and off but never improving.
The second half of the song introduces a new element, with references to flames and damage. The singer describes a moment when they were willing to cut ties with someone, possibly a lover or friend, in response to their destructive behavior. The imagery of fire and the idea of finding "Neverland" suggest a theme of escape or avoidance - the singer wants to separate themselves from the danger and chaos represented by the other person.
Overall, the lyrics of "Warning" capture the contradictory nature of intuitive feelings that cannot be easily named or explained. The song suggests that even when we can't fully understand or articulate our emotions, they still have the power to guide our decisions and actions in significant ways.
