Impossible
Eleventeen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stay away from the problems I create and everything will be ok
Make sure that you don't listen to a word I say don't even pay attention to me
I am so sick and tired sick and tired of you and your creations you're so creative

Don't say that you are turning in I haven't begun yet
Its twelve o'clock you are driving recklessly my turn is up ahead now

You think that you can get the better side of me cause I'm just hanging on every thing you say
Talk is cheap is and so is the way you walk so put your money where your mouth is and eat is slowly
I am so sick and tired sick and tired of you and your creations you're so creative

You think you know me better than better than I know my self you're better than anyone else

You are impossible so impossible

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of “Stay away from the problems I create and everything will be okay” give a sense that the singer is keenly aware of their impact on others, especially those around them. The next line, “Make sure that you don’t listen to a word I say, don’t even pay attention to me,” is a warning sign for those who might care about the singer, telling them that they cannot rely on this person's words or actions, and to distance themselves to avoid being hurt.

“I am so sick and tired sick and tired of you and your creations you’re so creative” brings a tone of bitterness and resentment to the song. The use of the word ‘creations’ hints at the idea that the person being addressed is some sort of artist, but it might also suggest that they act as if they are superior to others. “Talk is cheap and so is the way you walk,” connects to the previous lines of resentment towards the other person, accusing them of not being genuine in their words or actions. Finally, the line “You think you know me better than better than I know myself, You’re better than anyone else, you are impossible, so impossible,” brings a sense of frustration and defeat.

Overall, the song “Impossible” seems to be about the disconnect between two individuals and their inability to understand one another, and the frustration that arises from it.
