You're Wrong
Ginger Ninja Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Washed out
Messing up
Lack of all imagination
Where has it gone?
Running out
Of faith in our
Case of blocked communication
What have we done?

And this thing that we shared
Seemed so right to the unaware
Maybe when we grow up
We will act like we never cared

Cheap talk
Instead of love
Thoughts are crushed along the way
And cause their own decay
But I don′t remember how it was
When we first started building up
These things we've lost
Now it′s all gone wrong

And this thing that we shared
Seemed so right to the unaware
Maybe when we grow up
We will act like we never cared

But what have we done?

And this thing that we shared
Seemed so right to the unaware
Maybe when we grow up
We will act like we never cared





But what have we done?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ginger Ninja's "You're Wrong" depict a relationship that has hit a rough patch. The singer describes feeling washed out and lacking imagination, as if their dynamic has become stale and uninspired. The line "case of blocked communication" suggests that they are having trouble connecting with their partner, which is causing a loss of faith in the relationship. The chorus repeats the idea that whatever they had shared together seemed right at the time, but now they have grown apart and may never care about each other in the same way again.


The second verse brings up "cheap talk instead of love" and "thoughts crushed along the way," hinting that hurtful words have been spoken and the relationship has been damaged irreparably. The singer laments that they don't remember how things were when they started out, before they lost their way. The final chorus emphasizes the sense of regret and asks what they have done wrong.


Overall, the song captures the disappointment and sadness that can come when a relationship falls apart. The lyrics are fairly straightforward, but the singer's emotive voice and the catchy melody make the song memorable.
