Sympathy
Brodie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you want sympathy
I'm not the one to hold
You told me this would last
But it was over fast
Your story is getting old
I feel your pain but you're bugging me
It's time to open your eyes
Don't look into my eyes
If you don't want to find
I'm not the one to hold
You thought I would be nice
And asked for my advice
Don't do what you've been told
You try not to, don't want to, be left alone
I feel your pain but you're bugging me
It's time to open your eyes
I'm sorry if I don't care
About your boyfriend and the drama involving him
I want nothing to do with that shit
But for some reason I am part of it
So that's the end of this
Hopefully you're not pissed
I'm not the one to hold
I hope you have a blast
Kissing his fucking ass
And being miserable
You try not to, don't want to, be left alone
I feel your pain but you're bugging me
It's time to open your eyes
The lyrics of Brodie's song "Sympathy" are a powerful statement about the limits of compassion and how we can be pushed to our breaking point by those who constantly demand our attention and support. The singer establishes from the start that they are not the one to hold if someone is seeking sympathy. They are not interested in being a shoulder to cry on or a sounding board for someone's complaints.
The second verse describes the situation that has caused the rift between the singer and the person seeking sympathy. They had been told that the relationship would last, but it ended quickly, and now the seeker is constantly trying to avoid being left alone. However, the singer is tired of being burdened by these problems, and they want the seeker to open their eyes to the reality of the situation.
In the final verse, the singer expresses their frustration with being dragged into the drama involving the seeker's boyfriend. They want nothing to do with it, and they are not interested in getting involved. The song ends on a bitter note, as the singer wishes the seeker well in their misery, indicating that they are done with the whole situation.
Overall, "Sympathy" is a powerful song about setting boundaries and refusing to take on the emotional baggage of others. It is a reminder that while compassion and empathy are important, we should not allow ourselves to be drained by those who cannot reciprocate our kindness.
Line by Line Meaning
Don't you come to me
Don't bother coming to me
If you want sympathy
If you expect me to feel sorry for you
I'm not the one to hold
I'm not the one to comfort you
You told me this would last
You promised me it would endure
But it was over fast
But it ended abruptly
Your story is getting old
Your excuses are growing tiresome
You try not to, don't want to, be left alone
You're resisting being alone
I feel your pain but you're bugging me
I understand your distress, but you're irritating me
It's time to open your eyes
It's time to face reality
Don't look into my eyes
Don't seek my guidance
If you don't want to find
Unless you're ready for some hard truths
You thought I would be nice
You wrongly assumed I would be kind
And asked for my advice
And requested my guidance
Don't do what you've been told
Don't repeat the same mistakes
I'm sorry if I don't care
I apologize if I seem indifferent
About your boyfriend and the drama involving him
About your partner and the problems surrounding him
I want nothing to do with that shit
I don't want to be involved with that mess
But for some reason I am part of it
But somehow I'm involved
So that's the end of this
So that's the conclusion of this discussion
Hopefully you're not pissed
Hopefully you're not angered by what I've said
I'm not the one to hold
I'm not the one to comfort you
I hope you have a blast
I hope you enjoy yourself
Kissing his fucking ass
Pretending to be fond of him
And being miserable
Despite being sad
