Ur Gonna Wish U Believed Me
Cavetown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
God, I wish I was happy
The frayed threads of recovery
Crushing me from above and underneath
You're gonna wish you believed me
Fell asleep in the kitchen
Slowly dissolving into my seat
But nobody'll listen
Except for the friend I'm imagining
Curled up in my laundry
You're gonna wish you believed me
God, I wish I was happy
The frayed threads of recovery
Crushing me from above and underneath
You're gonna wish you believed me
I'm sorry for exploding
I said some things I didn't mean
And I don't know what came over me
It's just that I'm really hurting (it's just that I'm really hurting)
It's boiling above the Sertraline
Cutting into the concrete
You're gonna wish you believed me
God, I wish I was happy
The frayed threads of recovery
Crushing me from above and underneath
You're gonna wish you believed me
You're gonna wish you believed me
God, I wish I was happy
The frayed threads of recovery
Crushing me from above and underneath
You're gonna wish you believed me
In "Ur Gonna Wish U Believed Me," Cavetown expresses feelings of loneliness, hopelessness, and frustration. The lyrics suggest that the singer is struggling with their mental health and feels isolated and unheard. The line "You're gonna wish you believed me" implies that the singer has tried to reach out to someone for help, but they were not taken seriously. This lack of support has left the singer feeling alone in their pain.
The line "God, I wish I was happy" further emphasizes the singer's despair. The use of the word "God" suggests that the singer is looking for some type of divine intervention, but it has yet to come. The repetition of the line "The frayed threads of recovery/Crushing me from above and underneath" creates a sense of being trapped, as if the singer's attempts at recovery are causing them more harm than good.
The second verse describes the singer's physical and emotional exhaustion. They are so drained that they can't even muster the energy to eat or speak up for themselves. The only solace they have is imagining a friend who is not actually present. The line "It's just that I'm really hurting" is a plea for understanding, a way of saying that their pain is real, even if it's not visible.
Overall, "Ur Gonna Wish U Believed Me" is a powerful and emotional portrayal of the struggles of living with mental illness. The lyrics capture the overwhelming feeling of being alone and unheard, and the desperation for someone, anyone, to truly understand what you're going through.
