Trust
End of Fashion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Wait a minute tell me doctor does it seem everything's all okay

Feed me the medicine to keep me smiling
And we can play
All of those pretty little school girl subjects
Come into my padded cell
I made a promise not to hurt you and this face a lie would never tell
You never know

This is a trust issue
I don’t mean to sound mad
Ask anyone
Don’t trust anyone

And while we're on the topic of detention
Living under lock and key
All it takes is just a bad day baby to end up in captivity
Throw away
The sun rarely sees me
See I’m running around inside
See I’m strapped to a wall with eyes
I’ve been here before
Let me go

This is a trust issue
I don’t mean to sound mad
Ask anyone
Don’t trust anyone

Don’t trust anyone
Don’t trust anyone
We're only having fun
Don’t trust anyone
Don’t trust anybody

Far away everything's AOK
Console your friends
Happy days, Happy days

This is a trust issue
I don’t mean to sound mad
Ask anyone
Don’t trust anyone





Don’t trust anyone

Overall Meaning

The song "Trust" by End of Fashion is quite introspective and emotional, depicting the internal struggles of a person who has faced some kind of trauma or mistreatment and now finds it hard to trust anyone. The lyrics seem to be addressed to a therapist or doctor, perhaps, who is administering medication to the singer to keep them "smiling" and comfortable while they are being held in a padded cell. The singer is haunted by memories of being hurt and vows not to hurt anyone else or deceive them with a false face. The chorus is a repeated admonishment to the listeners to not trust anyone, which suggests that the singer has been wronged before and is now trying to protect themselves from similar pain in the future.


The second verse delves further into the theme of confinement and captivity, suggesting that the singer has experienced some kind of traumatic event that has led them to be confined in a place where they are not free to do as they please. They feel isolated from the outside world and trapped in their own thoughts, which are as chaotic as they are desperate. The repeated phrase "Let me go" suggests that the singer longs to be free from their confinement, both physically and mentally. The bridge of the song seems to offer a glimmer of hope, as the singer imagines a world far away where everything is "AOK" and happy days abound. However, the chorus is a constant reminder that trust is a fragile thing that can be easily broken, and that one must be careful whom they let into their lives.
