Alibi
Clans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe I wish you were mine, girl
Maybe I wish you took time, girl
To see just what you've done to me
She's gonna tell you
Exactly what you wanna hear
She doesn't mean it but she needs someone
Who will dry up all her tears
I'm still pretending you're alright
And even though I see straight through it
I'll still put my heart on the line
So where's your fucking alibi?
She's gonna make you
Feel like you're the only one
When she's done with all her fun
She'll tell you its all in your head
Even though its 5 am you're awake
And I'm stuck half a world away
Though I pray he doesn't ask you to stay
Cos' I'm sure you won't tell him that way
And though I know just what you're doing
I'll still pretend you're alright
And even though I see straight through it
I'll still put my heart on the line
Here's to your fucking alibi.
The song "Alibi" by Clans tells a story of unrequited love and betrayal. The singer expresses his wish for a girl to be his and for her to see his true feelings for her. However, she is with someone else who she doesn't truly care for, but needs in order to fill a void in her life. The singer knows this, yet he still holds onto hope and puts his heart on the line despite seeing straight through her actions.
The chorus of the song, "So where's your fucking alibi?" suggests that the girl is lying about her true intentions and actions. She may have an excuse to justify her behavior, but it is not a truthful one. The song speaks to the pain of loving someone who doesn't reciprocate those feelings and the frustration of being manipulated by them.
Overall, the lyrics of "Alibi" are poignant and relatable for anyone who has experienced unrequited love or been in a situation where they feel manipulated by someone they care about.
