No Trust
Dan Auerbach/The Black Keys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She wanna get outta the car in the middle of the road
And her screaming and hollerin' is getting mighty old
She check every paper when you step out the room
Ain't go no trust in your mama
Ain't got no trust in your daddy
Ain't got no trust in your sister
And she ain't got trust in you
She want a simple life
She need a simple man
That don't drink or smoke darlin'
Play in a rock and roll band
Oh, but she want you to hold her at night when she's lonely and blue
Ain't go no trust in your mama
Ain't got no trust in your daddy
Ain't got no trust in your sister
And she ain't got trust in you
Yeah she's a beautiful gal when she wanna be
But if you told her so darlin', she'd just disagree
Oh, she hates your job and what you want him to do
Ain't go no trust in your mama
Ain't got no trust in your daddy




Ain't got no trust in your sister
And she ain't got trust in you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "No Trust" by Dan Auerbach/The Black Keys are about a woman who doesn't trust anyone around her; not her partner's family, not even her partner. She wants a simple life with a man that doesn't smoke or drink, but at the same time, she wants her partner to hold her at night when she feels lonely and blue. She is a beautiful girl when she wants to be, but she dislikes her partner's job and what he wants to do in life.


The repeated refrain of "Ain't got no trust" highlights the woman's mistrust and lack of faith in others, including her partner. Despite her desire for a simple life, her mistrust and discontent with her partner's life choices create a paradox: she wants comfort and stability, but she also wants to control the outcome of her partner's life. Ultimately, the song depicts a relationship plagued by distrust, conflicting desires, and a sense of confinement.


The power of the song lies in its ability to capture the complexities and challenges of relationships through its lyrics. It speaks to the universal experience of struggling to build trust with loved ones, dealing with conflicting desires and expectations, and the emotional toll of feeling trapped in a relationship. It speaks to how trust is not only crucial in any relationship but also how a lack of trust produces toxic dynamics.
