Regrets
Division Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The name and the address
Of everyone I've ever known,
It's nothing I regret
Save it for another day, cause
The school is and the
Kids have run away
Have a conversation on my telephone
Wake up everyday, that would be a start
I would not complain by my wounded heart
I was upset, you see
Almost all the time
You used to be a stranger
Now you are mine
I wouldn't even trust you
I've not that much to give
We're dealing in the limits, and
We don't know who with
You may think that I'm out of hand
That I'm naive, I'll understand
On this occasion, it's not true
Look at me, I'm not you
I would like a place I can call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up everyday, that would be a start
I would not complain with my wounded heart
I was a short fuse
Burning all the time
You were a complete stranger
Now you are mine
I would like a place I can call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up everyday, that would be a start
I would not complain with my wounded heart
Just wait 'till tomorrow
I guess that's what they all say
Just before they fall apart...
The song Regrets by Division is a musing on the fleeting nature of life and relationships. The opening lines suggest that the singer has forgotten the names and addresses of everyone they’ve known, yet they don’t regret it. They encourage saving regrets for another day perhaps meaning that there is enough regret in everyone's life that one doesn't need to add more to it. The school and kids leaving signify a turning point towards adulthood and an end of innocence, and the desire for a place to call one's own seems to reflect the desire to establish some level of control and stability in this chaotic world.
The chorus is a yearning for basic things in life: a place to call one's own where you can have conversations on the telephone and just wake up every day. It's a cry for the simple pleasures and normalcy that can be elusive. The lyrics also show that the singer was upset a lot of the time and probably had difficulty trusting people. They admit to not having much to give, but they're still trying to navigate a world of uncertainty.
The bridge "I was a short fuse, burning all the time, you were a complete stranger, now you are mine" shows how the singer was volatile before they met this person who is now significant in their life. The phrase "you were a complete stranger, now you are mine" shows how the relationship has grown in meaning and significance. Yet despite this progress, there's still a level of uncertainty and doubt - "We're dealing in the limits, and we don't know who with."
Overall, Regrets is a complex reflection on the passage of life and the relationships we form along the way. The repetitive chorus expressing a desire for normalcy while navigating a world of chaos is relatable and the song as a whole makes one ponder the profound questions of life.

It's nothing I regret
I feel no regret about this

The school is empty
Kids have run away

I would like a place I can call my own
I want my own place
Have a conversation on my telephone
To talk on my phone
Wake up everyday, that would be a start
To have a routine would be a good beginning
I would not complain by my wounded heart
I won't complain about my emotional pain
I was upset, you see
I used to be upset all the time
Almost all the time
Just about always
You used to be a stranger
We were once strangers to each other
Now you are mine
But now you are mine
I wouldn't even trust you
I don't trust you at all
I've not that much to give
I don't have much to offer
We're dealing in the limits, and
We are working within our boundaries
We don't know who with
We are unsure with whom
You may think that I'm out of hand
You might believe that I am out of control
That I'm naive, I'll understand
That I am inexperienced, I accept it
On this occasion, it's not true
But, in this case, it's not true
Look at me, I'm not you
I am different from you
I was a short fuse
I used to get angry quickly
Burning all the time
Consistently simmering with anger
Just wait 'till tomorrow
Let's see what tomorrow brings
I guess that's what they all say
People often say that
Just before they fall apart...
... right before things get worse
