What We Did Wrong
Duels Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now we stand too scared to breath
We were unknown once, talking like idiots
Was it some kind of accident, or did you believe in us
Sitting silently to block out the noise
Some revolution we prepared
Oh so degrading, says Jimmy DaLancia
We believed in you
From a lack of anything else to do
Must be so naïve
To think that everything would work out, everything would work out
So bye-bye wave, its goodbye yes the morning after comes
Papa we loved, but was we so naïve
That we was living a lie, naa na na naa (x2)
Come the morning Denton pulls his hat on
And pins his colours to the breeze
We stayed up all night, though the dance stopped hours ago
We love you baby, says that song on the radio
We believed in you
From a lack of anything else to do
Must be so naïve
To think that everything would work out, everything would work out
So bye-bye wave, its goodbye yes the morning after comes
Papa we loved, but was we so naïve
That we was living a lie, naa na na naa (x2)
So bye-bye wave, its goodbye yes the morning after comes
Papa we loved, but was we so naïve
That we was living a lie, naa na na naa (x2)
Papa we loved (x2)
The lyrics to Duels' song "What We Did Wrong" convey a sense of disillusionment and regret over a failed relationship or perhaps a cultural movement. The lines "Papa Pablo show us What We Did Wrong/Now we stand too scared to breathe" imply a feeling of being chastised or let down by a parental or mentor figure, resulting in an overwhelming sense of uncertainty and paralysis. The lyrics "We were unknown once, talking like idiots/Was it some kind of accident, or did you believe in us" suggest a past sense of naivete or innocence, juxtaposed against a present sense of cynicism and disillusionment.
The chorus "We believed in you/From a lack of anything else to do/Must be so naïve/To think that everything would work out" speaks to a sense of desperation and a willingness to put faith in something or someone, perhaps to escape the mundanity and hopelessness of their everyday lives. The repeated refrain "Papa we loved, but were we so naïve/That we were living a lie" highlights the theme of disillusionment, questioning the sincerity and legitimacy of the relationship or movement that they once believed in.
Overall, the lyrics to "What We Did Wrong" paint a picture of disillusionment and regret over a failed relationship or cultural movement. The song's themes of naivete, cynicism, and disillusionment are encapsulated in the repeated refrain "Papa we loved, but were we so naïve/That we were living a lie."

My idea for a new game mode that would change Brawlstars!
Brawlstars is known for its fast-paced games, 2-3 mins per match, 3v3 for the vast majority (besides solo and duo showdown). The competitive scene sees the same type of gameplay, but in a best of 3 format. This type of gameplay has its own meta, however, it can sometimes render some type of brawlers (tanks for example) less relevant in the meta and not playable (unless they get a huge buff and get broken #darryl). It can also get repetitive at some point.
My idea for the new game mode is inspired by LOL and other games of the sort. Now before you leave, hear me out. I’ll explain the mode first and then I’ll give my reasoning behind everything.
The game mode would be played as 5v5 (OR 4v4), on a map the size of a solo showdown map! Solo showdown maps are quite big and can fit 10 players pretty well. Also, we know the game can handle a map this size so making it wouldn’t be much of a problem.
Each team spawns in one corner of the map (your team bottom left and the opponent’s team top right). Each team’s base has an Ike or a safe (exactly like in heist or siege) that has A LOT of HP, and the goal of the game mode is to break that safe.
The map could have a few lanes with turrets on them that prevent you from going to the other team’s base (pretty much like LOL). You would have to break the turrets to be able to push said lane.
However, the map could also be interactive so that you can get a few advantages during the game and also get stronger the more the game goes on. (That would make it a lot more interesting). First, you can have your ordinary boosts, like the energy drink for example. You can also have a few bolts to collect that make a certain bot spawn and help you push. And more importantly, you could get cubes (like the ones from solo showdown) more the game goes on which would make the interactions very interesting. (Also you wouldn’t lose the cubes once you die).
I think that’s pretty much it; you can get the general idea of the game mode. Other details can be sorted out easily. No need for items or stuff of the sort. You would get hit by rockets if you go in the opposing base before breaking something (like in siege). Maybe small bots spawn to help you push as well, some way to slowly damage the safe without necessarily getting in the zone, etc., etc...
Yes the game would last longer than the typical 2-3 mins that all game mode have, but it would be something new and you’re never forced to play it. It doesn’t have to last for hours, but a game could last 5-10 mins, with a time limit as well. I think that’s very reasonable.
Now that you’ve made it this far, here’s my reasoning on why this would work very well in Brawlstars!
We have a lot of brawlers in Brawlstars; 56 at the moment (+1 coming soon). So, a game mode that’s bigger than 3v3 would make a lot of sense having so many different brawlers and so many different interactions.
This would also make a lot of unplayable brawlers (especially tanks), more playable in the meta. In a 5v5 format, a tank could be very useful, especially having the possibility to get cubes during the game and get stronger.
The game is starting to have more depth to it, and this would go in line with it. Having 2 gadgets, 2 star-powers and 5 gears to choose from PER brawler (56+1). This could take team building to another level!
We are getting a new game mode every season, with a lot of old game modes coming back as well. However, the format gets repetitive at some point (especially for end game players). We have 12 (yes, I counted them) 3v3 game modes, 2 1v1 game modes and a single 2 player game mode. So, adding a 5v5 game mode would be something new to add to the game and would make playing this game mode very different and feel like discovering a new game with brawlers we’re already familiar with.
Besides the game modes getting repetitive, the meta is getting repetitive as well. What’s new every season is a new brawler, a few new gadgets and balance changes that shape the meta. It is nice and feels new to play at start, but I feel like it could be so much more! (this goes with reason #4)
Brawlstars is a very versatile game, and I feel like there’s an infinite number of possibilities with this game mode, making more than one map would also be so nice. Having a more open map for long ranged brawlers, a map with more bushes, teleporters, etc…
Supercell are known to listen to community feedback, and in solo showdown map maker, there were a lot of maps made that incorporate a 5v5 game mode. We've also seen content creators create maps and playing a 5v5 mini game. This just shows that people playing this game would really enjoy something of the sort and it could really work out and make the game feel new again.
I feel like this could bring NEW players to the game, this could also make the game feel new again for end game players. It can also make it possible to play with more than 2 friends! So win-win-win
Now, adding this game mode doesn’t mean removing what we have already. I think it should be tried as a temporary game mode like all the other new game modes that we get at first and see where it goes on from there.
Yes, I am some random guy complaining but, I’ve been playing Brawlstars for almost 4 years now, I have pretty much a maxed account, 38k trophies and I am mythic 2 in PL. I’m not saying I’m a pro player not at all, however I feel like I’ve played this game for a lot of time, and really enjoy it, and Supercell are known to listen to community feedback really well, so I thought I would give it a shot!
Feel free to let me know your opinion down below and share this on YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, etc…
PS : I know it doesn’t fit very well with the Brawlstars and Starpark lore… but c’mon a mode like this would be insane and completely change Brawlstars!
I will comment this on every KT video from now on, so feel free to like, share, copy, etc... The goal is that he sees it!!
Thank you for listening to my TedTalk!
