Passive Aggressive
Charlotte Cardin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're no longer together
'Cause there's man on my arm
And your name's crossed on my heart forever
You are your actions, relations
And I don't have the patience or temper
Hallelujah, baby
We're no longer together
Hallelujah, baby
We're no longer together
Are you still
Passive aggressive?
'Cause when you see me attractive
You're reactive
It took a week or two getting over you
But I love myself too much
To waste good years on bad love (waste good years on bad love)
And you've been falling hard these days
But it's not my job to save you
You got me singing
Hallelujah, baby
We're no longer together
Hallelujah, baby
We're no longer together
Ooh, are you still
Passive aggressive?
'Cause when you see me attractive
You're reactive
(Don't hate on me, you brought this on yourself)
Are you still
Passive aggressive?
(Don't hate on me, you brought this on yourself)
'Cause when you see me attractive
You're reactive
(Don't hate on me you brought this on yourself)
No, I never loved you anyway (la-di-da, la-di-da, la-di-da, la-di-da)
(Don't hate on me you brought this on yourself)
I never loved you anyway (la-di-da, la-di-da, la-di-da, la-di-da)
(Don't hate on me, you brought this on yourself)
I never loved you anyway
Hallelujah, baby
We're no longer together
Hallelujah, baby
We're no longer together
The lyrics of Charlotte Cardin's song "Passive Aggressive" express a sense of relief and moving on from a toxic relationship in which the other person exhibited passive aggressive behavior. The singer celebrates the fact that they are no longer together, and even though their ex still seems to be attracted to them, they don't have the patience or temper to deal with their passive aggressive tendencies. The line "your name's crossed on my heart forever" implies that the relationship had a lasting impact on the singer, but they have moved on and found love elsewhere.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Are you still passive aggressive?" which suggests that the singer is questioning whether their ex has truly changed or if they will continue to exhibit the same behavior. The line "Don't hate on me, you brought this on yourself" implies that the singer is not taking responsibility for their ex's feelings or actions, as they have moved on and are now happy without them.
Overall, the song is a powerful statement about leaving behind toxic relationships and choosing to love oneself instead of wasting time on bad love. The lyrics are delivered with a sense of strength and confidence, making it an empowering anthem for anyone who has experienced a similar situation.
