Repeat
David Guetta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see your mouth move
But I don’t hear the words
And while you dig yourself a hole
You’re burying me in the blur
I can taste the fake, the shame
I’ve heard this story before
And while you dig yourself a hole
It’s the same shit, different girl

When I was building a home,
You made a bed of your own,
Or perfectly the life of three
But now your cover is blown,
You get to be on your own,
And find another stupid girl like me
(Stupid girl like me, stupid girl like me)

So go out and party, cuz I’m just getting started
And I’m dancing to a brand new beat
It gets stuck on repeat, repeat, repeat
Gets stuck on repeat, repeat, repeat

So go out and party, like you’re not broken-hearted
Cuz you’re now one just mistake on my beat
It gets stuck on repeat, repeat, repeat
Gets stuck on repeat, repeat, repeat

I wanna know, was I the one
Or just the chick on the side?
I gave it all, put down my walls
You dare say I didn’t try
But you won’t stop, stop telling me what what you think I want to know
I’m ejecting the sign of you deleting the thought of you
Record this and watch me go

When I was building a home,
You made a bed of your own,
Or perfectly the life of three
But now your cover is blown,
You get to be on your own,
And find another stupid girl like me
(Stupid girl like me, stupid girl like me)

So go out and party, cuz I’m just getting started
And I’m dancing to a brand new beat
It gets stuck on repeat, repeat, repeat
Gets stuck on repeat, repeat, repeat

So go out and party, like you’re not broken-hearted
Cuz you’re now one just mistake on my beat




It gets stuck on repeat, repeat, repeat
Gets stuck on repeat, repeat, repeat

Overall Meaning

In David Guetta's song "Repeat," the lyrics seemingly express frustration and disappointment in a romantic partner who continuously repeats the same mistakes and does not seem to listen or communicate effectively. The first line, "I can see your mouth move, but I don't hear the words," suggests a lack of understanding or connection between the two individuals. The second verse touches on the partner's infidelity ("Was I the one or just the chick on the side?") and their inability to accept responsibility for their actions ("You won't stop telling me what you think I want to know"). The chorus conveys a sense of moving on and not allowing oneself to be stuck in the cycle of the partner's mistakes, as the singer encourages the partner to "go out and party" while also expressing their hown desire to move forward and dance to a new beat.


The repetition in the chorus reflects the theme of the song, emphasizing the cycle of the partner's mistakes and the singer's determination to break free of it. Overall, the song captures the feeling of being stuck in a tumultuous relationship with a partner who does not fully invest in and appreciate the other person.


Line by Line Meaning

I can see your mouth move
I can see that you're talking


But I don’t hear the words
But I can't understand what you're saying


And while you dig yourself a hole
You are making things worse for yourself


You’re burying me in the blur
And your actions are causing me confusion and stress


I can taste the fake, the shame
I can perceive that you're lying or hiding something


I’ve heard this story before
I've already been through this situation in the past


It’s the same shit, different girl
This is a repetitive cycle that involves different people


When I was building a home,
When I was trying to make a life for myself,


You made a bed of your own,
You were doing something different,


Or perfectly the life of three
Or perhaps you were involved with multiple people at the same time


But now your cover is blown,
But now your true self has been revealed,


You get to be on your own,
And now you have to face your life alone,


And find another stupid girl like me
And continue the cycle by finding someone else who will fall for your lies


So go out and party, cuz I’m just getting started
You can do whatever you want, I don't care because I'm moving on


And I’m dancing to a brand new beat
And I'm finding happiness and joy in new experiences and people


It gets stuck on repeat, repeat, repeat
And I can't stop repeating this process of moving on and finding myself


I wanna know, was I the one
I'm curious to know if you really cared about me


Or just the chick on the side?
Or if I was just a casual fling for you?


But you won’t stop, stop telling me what what you think I want to know
But you keep saying what you think I want to hear, even though it's not true


I’m ejecting the sign of you deleting the thought of you
I'm trying to remove all thoughts of you from my mind


Record this and watch me go
Remember this moment of me moving on and growing


Cuz you’re now one just mistake on my beat
Because you are just a minor mistake that I will learn from and overcome

Jest coś takiego w tym utworze, co przywodzi mi na myśl piękne lata 2012, 2013... Wtedy też w świecie elektronicznej muzyki tanecznej panował taki melodyjny klimat ✨ I choć od wielu lat słucham dużo szybszych gatunków (Hardcore, Rawstyle, Hardstyle) to myślę, że "On Repeat" często zagości w playliście mojego auta tego lata ☀

Jerzyk Z.

mi to przypomina jeszcze wcześniejsze lata, tak gdzieś początek 2000 lat

No czegoż innego można by się spodziewać po tym duecie, jak nie świetnego utworu. Przyjemny vibe. Lekutko wpada w ucho 👍

Kocham ten utwór. Każda sekunda w nim jest idealna. W końcu odejście od typowego mainstreamu do dźwięków, których nie słychać w każdym radiowym utworze. Ten utwór trzeba słuchać on repeat, on repeat, on repeat...
