Consequences
Daphne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Came in a tidal wave
A total waste
Of a perfect place
You said we'd go my pace
You're at the end of the race
You love the chase

Clothes are off
Pillow talk
Is this all that you want
I've been lying to myself
That we could be something else
Who can I trust
Who can I love
Call it a bluff
That's all it was
You would say goodbye to me
While you're putting on your jeans
You don't think about the consequences (no-no)
You can't think about the consequences (oh-no)
But even after all the consequences
You'd do it all again
Fuck it all up again damn

That's one quick turnaround
I was seeing hearts
Now I'm crying on the ground
Try not to blame myself
That you're happier being by yourself

Clothes are off
Pillow talk
Is this all that you want
I've been lying to myself
That we could be something else
Who can I trust
Who can I love
Call it a bluff
That's all it was
You would say goodbye to me
while you're putting on your jeans
You don't think about the consequences (no-no)
You can't think about the consequences (oh-no)
But even after all the consequences
You'd do it all again
Fuck it all up again damn

The worst part is I think you're gonna come back
Your name's still in my phone wishing you'd want that

You don't think about the consequences
You can't think about the consequences
But even after all the consequences
You do it all again




Fuck it all up again
Damn

Overall Meaning

In "Consequences" by Daphne, the lyrics depict a tumultuous and damaging relationship. The first stanza describes the initial attraction and excitement in the relationship, comparing it to a "tidal wave" and a "perfect place." However, the singer quickly realizes that their partner is not emotionally invested in the relationship. They mention that their partner enjoys the thrill of the chase but does not consider the consequences of their actions.


The second stanza delves into the physical aspect of the relationship, with the lines "Clothes are off, Pillow talk." Despite their physical intimacy, the singer feels a sense of emptiness and doubts the authenticity of their connection. They confess that they have been lying to themselves, hoping for something more than a purely physical relationship. The questions "Who can I trust, Who can I love" express their confusion and disappointment in the situation.


The chorus repeats the theme of the partner's disregard for the consequences of their actions. The singer criticizes their partner for not considering the potential harm caused by their behaviors. The lines "You don't think about the consequences, You can't think about the consequences" highlight the partner's shortsightedness and lack of consideration for the impact of their actions. Despite the negative consequences, the partner is willing to repeat their destructive behavior, creating a cycle of damage and regret.


In the bridge, the singer expresses a glimmer of hope or longing for reconciliation. The line "The worst part is I think you're gonna come back" indicates that despite the pain caused, they still hold onto the possibility of their partner returning. The mention of the partner's name still being in their phone suggests an ongoing attachment and desire for their return. This adds a layer of complexity to the emotional dynamic between the two individuals.


Ultimately, the lyrics convey a story of a toxic relationship where one person is self-destructive and lacks empathy for the consequences of their actions. The singer's perspective showcases their realization of the harmful nature of the relationship and their struggle to let go despite the pain.

Turned out to be completely pointless and unfulfilling


Of a perfect place
Ruined what seemed like an ideal situation

Promised to take things at my speed


You're at the end of the race
You're ready to move on and leave me behind


You love the chase
You enjoy pursuing and capturing new romantic conquests


Clothes are off
We are physically intimate


Pillow talk
Having intimate conversations after being intimate


Is this all that you want
Is a purely physical relationship all that satisfies you

I have been deceiving myself by imagining our potential for something more


That we could be something else
Believing that our relationship could evolve into something meaningful

I question who I can rely on emotionally

I am unsure who is truly deserving of my love


Call it a bluff
Labeling your promises and affection as insincere

Now I am emotionally broken and devastated


Try not to blame myself
I attempt not to hold myself responsible


That you're happier being by yourself
You are content being alone and do not need me


The worst part is I think you're gonna come back
The most painful aspect is that I believe you will return


Your name's still in my phone wishing you'd want that
I still have your contact saved, secretly hoping for your desire to reconnect


You do it all again
You repeat the same destructive patterns


Fuck it all up again
Unintentionally ruin everything again


Damn
Expressing frustration and disappointment
