Honest Mistake
Bravery (The) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They move right through you
Just like your breath
But sometimes I still think of you
And I wanted you to know
My old friend
I swear I never meant for this
Don't look at me that way
Sometimes I forget I'm still awake
I fucked up and say these things out loud
The song "Honest Mistake" by The Bravery portrays a sense of regret and reflection on past actions. The lyrics "People-they don't mean a thing to you, they move right through you" suggest a sense of detachment from others and the world around the singer. The singer admits to still thinking about someone from their past, but acknowledges that they made a mistake regarding that person. The line "Don't look at me that way, it was an honest mistake" implies that the singer may have hurt or caused harm to the person they are addressing, but did not intend to do so.
The chorus of the song, "Sometimes I forget I'm still awake, I fucked up and say these things out loud" showcases the singer's sense of disbelief in themselves and their own actions. They may have been caught off guard by their own words or actions, and are now facing the consequences. The song seems to be a reflection on past mistakes and a desire for forgiveness.
Line by Line Meaning
People-they don't mean a thing to you
You do not value the people around you
They move right through you
Their presence does not affect you or leave a lasting impression
Just like your breath
People come and go in your life as easily as your breath passes in and out
But sometimes I still think of you
Despite your disregard for others, I still remember and think of you
And I wanted you to know
I have a need to express my thoughts and feelings to you
My old friend
Though we may have grown apart, I still consider you a friend
I swear I never meant for this
I didn't intend for things to turn out this way
Don't look at me that way
Please do not judge or condemn me for what I have done
It was an honest mistake
I made a mistake without any malicious intent
Sometimes I forget I'm still awake
At times, reality seems so surreal that it is difficult to believe it is actually happening
I fucked up and say these things out loud
I made a mistake and unintentionally voiced my thoughts or feelings

This was my brothers favorite song. He was 35 when he passed on June 8th, 2023, at 8:45 PM.
Iβll always love and miss you big brother. Thank you for taking care of me and loving me, and helping me become the man I am today. I miss you dearly. It hurts. Itβll always hurt. Itβs not my first lost but definitely one of the more potent ones.
I swear I never meant for this, I never meant.
Donβt look at me that way,
It was an honest mistake.
Donβt look at me that way.
It was an honest mistake,
An honest mistake.
Iβll never forgive myself for not quelling our squabbles, before you died. You kept asking to spend more time together because you thought you were sick.
I kept denying it and pushing it off, and now itβs too late.
I love you and Iβm so sorry for basically abandoning you in your last weeks. Iβm sorry.
