no exceptions
Floorpunch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I turn my head, pull the knife out of my back
So many promises, and that's your one regret
So many goals, now none will be met
Don't come to me looking for redemption
Not this fucking time
There'll be no expections!
You made your choice
That shit you pulled, not what friendship's about
Same old story, I've seen it before
You take your lies
Can't look at your face no more!
The Floorpunch song No Exceptions is a song that talks about betrayal and disappointment in a supposed friend. The use of the word "dedication" implies that the singer was willing to do everything for the other person, but that dedication was not reciprocated. The line "I turn my head, pull the knife out of my back" suggests that the person has been stabbed in the back by their friend, and they are now removing the knife. The next few lines are about the friend's promises and goals, and how they will now never be achieved because of their poor choices.
The chorus, "Don't come to me looking for redemption, not this fucking time, there'll be no expectations!" is a clear message that the friendship is over, and there will be no second chances. The singer is not willing to forgive or forget the betrayal, and the idea of redemption is not even an option. The lines "you made your choice, took the easy way" suggest that the friend chose the easy way out, rather than confronting the issues and trying to make things right. The last two lines of the verse are particularly powerful, as they state that the lies and actions of the friend have damaged the relationship beyond repair, and the singer cannot even bear to look at the friend.
Overall, the song No Exceptions tells a story of betrayal and disappointment, with a clear message that the singer is not willing to forgive or forget. The choice of words and the intensity of the emotions make it a powerful song that many people can relate to.
