Much Ado About Nothing
Edson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you're paranoid and beyond
Every sign of recognition, I respond
With misplaced attacks and despair
In a cautious voice I ask you to beware

When I'm paranoid and beyond
Every sign of recognition, you respond
With some dirty words and despair
In a vicious voice you ask me to beware

All hell's breaking loose (Unfair and untrue)
All hell's breaking loose (I'm just like you)
Way too much ado
About nothing and I wish you knew

When you're paralysed to a frown
And you're twisting every word I say around
When I speak the truth and you say
That I'm better off without you anyway

All hell's breaking loose (Unfair and untrue)
All hell's breaking loose (I'm just like you)
Way too much ado
About nothing and I wish you knew

Do you remember how?
We got started, what I said and why?
Do you remember when?
Think of it and think again

All hell's breaking loose (Unfair and untrue)
All hell's breaking loose (I'm just like you)




Way too much ado
About nothing and I wish you knew

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Edson's "Much Ado About Nothing" explore the theme of paranoia and miscommunication in a relationship. The song captures the frustration that comes with feeling misunderstood and the destructive patterns that arise when we don't communicate effectively. The opening lines of the chorus, "When you're paranoid and beyond, every sign of recognition, I respond with misplaced attacks and despair", reveal the singer's tendency to react defensively when they feel their partner isn't understanding them. The following lines, "In a cautious voice, I ask you to beware", further emphasize the singer's insecurity and the way it affects their communication.


The second verse continues with the same theme of miscommunication, but this time from the perspective of the partner. The singer shares how they feel when their partner responds with "some dirty words and despair" and "a vicious voice". It highlights how both parties are struggling to effectively communicate their feelings and needs in the relationship.


The repetition of the chorus, "All hell's breaking loose...Way too much ado about nothing and I wish you knew", expresses the frustration and desperation that comes with feeling stuck in a cycle of miscommunication. Overall, the song shows the importance of effective communication and the destructive nature of paranoia in relationships.
