Whatever
Guy Riot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Taylor'd write a song about
A 'You Belong With Me' story
'Cause you and me don't count
Yeah, you don't know
I'm not brave enough to tell you
I'll stay by your side until you figure it out
This is like a love story
An I'm just a 'Lovefool' story
But I just keep striking out
Friends that know say to leave it alone
I'm gonna keep tryin' but I'm having some doubts
I'll call you babe
You'll say that's cute
That's how I feel
It's nothin' new
Got white shoes
Keep them new
Don't want scuffs
Just ones from you
It could be us together
But instead it's just whatever
This like a love story
Robyn wrote a song about
A 'Dancing on My Own' story
You, me, and the crowd
You're over there
I'm screaming inside
You're the one for me
But you've lost your mind
I'll call you babe
You'll say that's cute
That's how I feel
It's nothin' new
Got white shoes
Keep them new
Don't want scuffs
Just ones from you
I'll call you babe
You'll say that's cute
That's how I feel
It's nothin' new
Got white shoes
Keep them new
Don't want scuffs
Just ones from you
It could be us together (It could be us together)
It could be us together (It could be us together)
It could be us together (It could be us together)
It could be us together (It could be us together)
In Guy Riot's song "Whatever," the lyrics depict a one-sided love story. The singer compares their situation to various love songs, emphasizing that their love story doesn't match the idealized narratives portrayed in popular culture. They express their frustration and uncertainty about their feelings for the person they love, admitting that they lack the courage to confess their emotions. Despite this, the singer remains by their side, hoping that eventually, the other person will realize their true feelings.
The song makes references to the songs "You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift, "Lovefool" by The Cardigans, and "Dancing on My Own" by Robyn. These references highlight the disconnect between the singer's unrequited love and the happy endings portrayed in those songs. The repeated line "I'll call you babe, you'll say that's cute" reveals the singer's longing for a deeper connection, yet their affection is not reciprocated in the same way.
Overall, "Whatever" captures the bittersweet emotions of unrequited love, the frustration of not being able to express one's true feelings, and the hope that someday their love story may actually come true.
