For You
Fickle Friends Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not supposed to say
That you are known
For selling people's words a certain way
I'm caught in two
Do I belong to you?

Oh I will find
It does not matter if you fall at her feet
Oh I don't mind
I cannot ask you if there is no one to see

This is no life to lead
The world is catching up with you
I know it's time to leave
I'm caught in two
Do I belong to you?

Who cares what's in your head
The only thing that's over me
Your love remains unsaid
I'm caught in two
When I am wrong with you

Oh I will find
It does not matter if you fall at her feet
Oh I don't mind
I cannot ask you if there is no one to see

The one
The one
I'm not the one for you

Oh I will find
It does not matter if you fall at her feet
Oh I don't mind
I cannot ask you if there is no one to see

The one




The one
I'm not the one for you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Fickle Friends' song For You seem to be speaking directly to a person who is known for twisting others' words, possibly for personal gain. The singer is struggling with their feelings towards this person, feeling caught between wanting to belong to them and wanting to leave. The chorus repeatedly asserts that the singer is not the right fit for this person, as they will eventually find their way out of the relationship.


The first verse seems to be calling out this person's actions, potentially as a warning to the singer's own feelings. They know that this person takes other people's words and may use them in a negative or manipulative way. The second verse is a questioning of the singer's own place in the relationship. They know they are caught in between wanting to belong to this person while simultaneously feeling the pull to leave.


The chorus is the repeating message of the song, that the singer will eventually find a way out of the relationship, as they are not the right one for this person. The repeated use of "I will find" suggests a sense of determination and strength in the singer's decision to leave.

I’ve had this song buried in my playlist from when I was 13. I am now 20 sitting on my couch reminiscing on my times in junior high. First time smoking, first girlfriend, last summer of fun and simplicity. Love it. 🙏🏻
