Who Do You Think You Are
Cascada Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When all I have tried was just in vain
Is it worth the fight I couldn't start believing
That those feelings who died could face the pain
I don't need no diamond rings, alibis no more
[Chorus]
Cause once again you broke my heart
I know that love went just to far
Its hard to catch a falling star
But now I finally realize,
Your a brown eyed angel in disguise
Just one step too far so tell me honestly
Who do you think you are?
You and I were on our way together
But this life passed by, these days are gone
All the tears I've cried they thought me nothing lasts forever
I been blind for just too long
Cause I don't need no diamond rings,alibis no more
[Chorus]
Who do you think you are?
The lyrics of Cascada's song Who Do You Think You Are delve into the pain and heartbreak caused by a failed relationship. The first stanza suggests that the singer has lost faith in love and is struggling to see a positive future. Despite trying to make things work, nothing seems to have worked out, and the pain and feeling of hopelessness are gripping. However, the singer still believes in tomorrow, indicating a willingness to keep holding on to hope despite the harsh reality.
The second stanza shows that the singer has come to an understanding that material things and excuses do not bring true happiness. The singer grasps that a significant aspect of the relationship was built on lies and pretence from their partner. The chorus is the peak of the song. The lyrics "Who do you think you are? cause once again, you broke my heart" reveals the pain the singer is experiencing from the failed relationship. It shows their anger towards the person who has betrayed them and how their trust has been shattered.
The song concludes with the singer acknowledging their blindness and holding themselves accountable for not seeing the signs of deceit in the relationship, but they have now finally realized the truth. The final expression, "who do you think you are" is a rhetorical question asked to the partner. It shows the betrayal and hurt they have caused, and in a way, a call for the partner to redeem themselves.
