Exception
David Hugo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You want something that I can't give
You'll try
To change my mind
Wastin' our time
You know it's true
I draw the line
You break all my rules
But I want you to
You're my exception
Oh, I have no intention
Of learning my lesson
'Cause you're my exception
When I feel this connection
Oh, I have no intention
Of learning my lesson
'Cause you're my exception
Yeah
You know what's wrong with this
We're not something that I can fix
And I (Yeah, I)
Won't compromise (Oh, no)
Wasting our time
You know it's true
I draw the line
Too far from you
You break all my rules
But I want you to
You're my exception
Oh, I have no intention
Of learning my lesson
'Cause you're my exception
When I feel this connection
Oh, I have no intention
Of learning my lesson
'Cause you're my exception
(Ooh ooh, ooh-woah)
(Ooh ooh, ooh-woah oh)
(Ooh ooh, ooh-woah)
(Ooh ooh, ooh-woah oh)
Don't hold your breath
'Cause I won't fall fast
Don't try so hard
'Cause it's pointless
But let's kick it in Venice
And bring all your friends
'Cause it's been a minute since we benefited from being friends
(True)
You're my exception
Oh, I have no intention
Of learning my lesson
'Cause you're my exception
When I feel this connection
Oh, I have no intention
Of learning my lesson
'Cause you're my exception
My, my, my, my exception (Ooh ooh, ooh-woah)
My, my, my, my exception (Ooh ooh, ooh-woah oh)
Of learning my lesson
'Cause you're my exception
My, my, my, my exception (Ooh ooh, ooh-woah)
My, my, my, my exception (Ooh ooh, ooh-woah oh)
Of learning my lesson
'Cause you're my exception
The lyrics of David Hugo's song "Exception" depict a complicated relationship dynamic. The singer acknowledges that there are no promises in this relationship and the other person desires something that the singer is unable to give. Despite this knowledge, the singer is willing to try and change their mind. However, they also recognize that their time is being wasted, and they draw a line, feeling that the other person is too distant and breaks all their rules. Yet, despite these obstacles and the lack of compromise, the singer still wants the other person because they are an exception. They have no intention of learning their lesson, meaning they are willing to overlook the challenges of the relationship because of the strong connection they feel.
The lyrics convey a sense of internal conflict within the singer. They are torn between recognizing the difficulties of the relationship and wanting to walk away, but at the same time, feeling an undeniable connection and attraction towards the other person. This contradictory nature of their desires creates tension and complexity in the song.
Overall, "Exception" portrays a complex love story that explores the conflicts and contradictions in a relationship. It portrays the struggle between reason and emotion, highlighting the power of a strong connection to keep people engaged despite the challenges they face.
