Duct Tape Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
sorry if u let it drown
but all i was doing
was bringing you down
i didn't mean to hurt
i thought you wanted this right
being happy just us
with me
if you cry with me
and fight with me
i thought u die with me and
useless fights that i thought up
whod of thought that we'd hold up
this long and hanging out every day
months go by and its already may
open up your eyes
and let them feel the burn
youve been hiding
and i think its time you'd learn
that i new you liked him
before the flight
people talk
but i guess thats alright
with me if you fight with me
and you cry with me
i thought you'd die with me and
useless fights that i thought up
whod of thought that we'd hold up
this long and hanging out every day
months go by and its already may
so now you need him
but u can't see him
and you still starve him
your looks will charm him
but now youve changed
and he's the same you
hung up the phone now
your alone too
useless fights that i thought up
whod of thought that we'd hold up
this long and hanging out every day
months go by and its already may
In these lyrics, Duct Tape is singing about a relationship that has fallen apart. They apologize for any pain they may have caused, but feel that they were simply bringing their partner down. They thought that being happy together was enough, but now they realize that it wasn't. Despite some arguments and fights, they thought that their partner would always be there for them. However, now they feel alone and that their partner has moved on with someone else.
As the song progresses, Duct Tape encourages their partner to "open up your eyes" and see the truth about their new relationship. They believe that their partner had feelings for this person before they ended things, and that they are simply ignoring that fact now. Despite the pain and loneliness they feel, Duct Tape ultimately accepts the situation and acknowledges that they had some "useless fights" in the past. They are able to reflect on the relationship and recognize that, while it lasted longer than they expected, it was not enough to sustain them.
Overall, these lyrics are a reflection on a failed relationship, the difficulty of moving on, and the importance of being honest with oneself about one's feelings.
