No Regrets
Girls Aloud Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No regrets if just a few
Somehow they're entwined with you
No regrets I'm glad its through, and you've left my mind
Rainy Sundays, kids TV
Fish and chips and NYC
You said we were meant to be, to be
Those super bossa nova nights slow dancing by the sea
No regrets no memories
Just forgive those heartfelt plees
No regrets no baby not for me
Those super bossa nova nights slow dancing by the sea
So sure that cocktail hour would last for all eternity
No regrets no memories
Just forgive those heartfelt plees
No regrets no baby not for me
Not for me
Not for me
The song No Regrets by Girls Aloud is a reflective tune that reminisces about past experiences and relationships. The opening lines by Nadine declare that she has no regrets in her life, apart from a few that seem to be associated with another person. This shows her acceptance of making mistakes and moving on, but also the lingering effects that some relationships can have. She then states that she is glad that it's over and the person has left her mind.
The lyrics paint a picture of happy moments spent together, like rainy Sundays, watching kids TV, and exploring New York City. But there is also a sense of sadness as it seems that their relationship did not work out as planned. The song talks about those romantic moments where they slow danced to bossa nova music by the sea, and as they sipped cocktails, they were convinced that it would be forever. But unfortunately, it was not meant to be, and all that's left are heartfelt pleas to be forgiven and no memory that would stir regret. The last line emphasizes that Nadine is now okay on her own 'no baby not for me.'
In conclusion, Girls Aloud's No Regrets is a song about reflecting on the past, acknowledging and learning from one's mistakes, and moving on. It's a song that perfectly captures the bittersweet feelings of reminiscing on past relationships, both the good and the bad.
