The music video for "Not Your Fault" utilizes pixilation, clay animation and stop motion, similar to Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" and the animation style of Dino Stamatopoulos. In the video, frontman Aaron Bruno is shown singing the song as he and his band—in clay animation style—trying to defeat monsters. Bruno is also shown attracting a girl and saving her in the process. A 3D version of the music video was also featured in the Nintendo 3DS video service Nintendo Video.
Not Your Fault
Awolnation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A little scream, little cry, little laughter
She's a ten, I'm a joke in my own mind
But she still loves to dance with my punch lines
This love found us
Now I see it
This love, up, down
Baby, when I'm yellin' at you
It's not your fault, it's not your fault, yeah
And baby, 'cause I'm crazy for you
It's not your fault, it's not your fault, yeah
And maybe I'm a little confused
It's not your fault, it's not your fault, yeah
And baby, it's wonderful news
It's not your fault, it's not your fault, yeah
Oh, it's not that you should care
I just wanted you to know
I'ma fight with myself 'til I'm bleeding
Just a taste of your skin, start the healing
Anyone from my past, get your ammo
Find the sun in the dark side of my shadow
This love found us
Now I see it
This love, up, down
Please believe
Baby, when I'm yellin' at you
It's not your fault, it's not your fault, yeah
And baby, 'cause I'm crazy for you
It's not your fault, it's not your fault, yeah
And maybe I'm a little confused
It's not your fault, it's not your fault, yeah
And baby, it's wonderful news
It's not your fault, it's not your fault, yeah
Oh, it's not that you should care

The song "Not Your Fault" by AWOLNATION tells the story of a man who struggles with his own insecurities and inner battles but is grateful for the love of a strong and confident woman who he calls a "ten." Although he may yell at her and act crazy at times, he wants to reassure her that it's not her fault and he simply wants her to know that he cares. The lyrics speak to the idea that sometimes, it's easy to blame others for our own issues and difficulties, but in reality, it's important to take responsibility for our own actions and emotions.
The repeated line "It's not your fault" serves as a reminder that the woman in the song is not to blame for the singer's struggles, but rather is a source of comfort and support. The lyrics also touch on themes of healing, growth, and learning to find the positive in a seemingly negative situation.
Overall, "Not Your Fault" is a heartfelt and emotional song that delves into the complexities of relationships and the human psyche. It encourages listeners to take ownership of their own issues and appreciate the love and support of those around them.
