Deadline Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't tell me everything's alright because I know that it's not now
This thing it should be working both ways you can't have it your way always
This thing it should be working both ways you can't have it your way always
The last thing that I need right now is
Ten more tons of your stinking bullshit,
You can't make me listen to your lies
Don't tell me everything's alright because I know that it's not now
This thing it should be working both ways you can't have it your way always
The last thing that I need right now is
Ten more tons of your stinking bullshit,
Your so called helping hand and that false smile,
You can't make me listen to your lies
The lyrics of Deadline's song Pretences are angry, confrontational, and express a feeling of being fed up with someone or something. The repetition of the line "Don't tell me everything's alright because I know that it's not now" embodies a sense of disappointment and betrayal that comes after being repeatedly lied to or deceived by someone. This could be interpreted in many ways, but it's likely that the singer is addressing someone who has let them down in a personal or professional relationship, or who has been dishonest about something important.
The lyrics express frustration with a person who takes more than they give, and who expects to get their own way all the time. The line "This thing it should be working both ways you can't have it your way always" communicates a desire for equality and balance in a relationship, and a feeling of being used or taken advantage of. The stanza that follows is particularly harsh, describing the other person's attempts to help or console as "ten tons of stinking bullshit", and rejecting their false kindness and empty promises.
Overall, the song is a fierce rejection of someone's attempts to deceive or manipulate the singer, and a call for honesty and mutual respect in a relationship. It could be seen as an anthem for anyone who has been let down or lied to by someone they trusted.
