For Me
Gretchen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never tell me dreams come true
Just try it and I'll start a riot
Beatrice Fairfax don't you dare
Ever tell me he will care
I'm certain it's the final curtain
I never want to hear from any cheerful Pollyannas
Who tell you fate supplies a mate
They're writing songs of love but not for me
A lucky star's above but not for me
With love to lead the way I've found more clouds of gray
Than any Russian play could guarantee
I was a fool to fall and get that way
Hi-ho, alas, and also lack-a-day
Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss
I guess he's not for me
I was a fool to fall and get that way
Hi-ho, alas, and also lack-a-day
Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss
The lyrics of Gretchen's song For Me express a sense of resignation and disappointment in love, as the singer laments that she is not destined to find the same kind of romantic happiness that others seem to enjoy. The first section of the song sets a somewhat defiant tone, as the singer refuses to believe in the optimistic promises of well-meaning acquaintances ("I never want to hear from any cheerful Pollyannas/Who tell you fate supplies a mate/It's all bananas"). This defiance seems to stem from a sense of bitterness towards the idea of fate or destiny, as the singer feels that she has been left out of the grand design that supposedly governs people's lives.
The second section of the song focuses more on the singer's personal experiences of love and heartbreak. She expresses frustration at the fact that despite her own efforts and desires, she has not been able to find the kind of love that she sees others enjoying ("They're writing songs of love but not for me/A lucky star's above but not for me"). The use of the metaphor of a "Russian play" and its associated gloominess suggests that the singer feels trapped in a kind of romantic tragedy that is beyond her control. Even as she acknowledges the memory of a past love ("Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss"), she ultimately concludes that he is not meant for her, emphasizing her sense of fatalism and acceptance of her supposed romantic fate.
Overall, the lyrics of For Me are a poignant expression of the frustration and disappointment that can come with searching for love, particularly when one feels as though they are outside of the supposed grand plan that guides people's lives.

I guess he's not for me
I assume that he's not the one for me

I like how her hair is super big in the beginning of the movie then when she lets all her secrets out her hair is straight at the end of the movie.

FnafDonut UwU I noticed it a while ago after I watched it for the 30th time. I actually started to analyze the movie instead of just watching it. I looked at the smaller details and really started to listen to what they’re saying.
