Turning Tables
Gwyneth Paltrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All that I have is on the floor,
God only knows what we're fighting for,
All that I say, you always say more,
I can't keep up with your turning tables,
Under your thumb, I can't breathe,
So I won't let you close enough to hurt me,
I cant give you what you think you gave me,
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables,
To turning tables,
Under haunted skies I see you, ooh,
Where love is lost, your ghost is found,
I braved a hundred storms to leave you,
As hard as you try, no,
I will never be knocked down,
I can't keep up with your turning tables,
Under your thumb, I can't breathe,
So I won't let you close enough to hurt me,
No, I won't ask you, you to just desert me,
I cant give you what you think you gave me,
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables,
Turning tables,
Next time I'll be braver,
I'll be my own savior,
When the thunder calls for me,
Next time I'll be braver,
I'll be my own savior,
Standing on my own two feet,
I won't let you close enough to hurt me,
No, I won't ask you, you to just desert me,
I can't give you what you think you gave me,
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables,
To turning tables,
Turning tables, yeah,
Turning, oh.
The song "Turning Tables", performed by Gwyneth Paltrow, is a powerful ballad about a tumultuous relationship that has come to an end. The lyrics convey a sense of being caught in a never-ending cycle of fighting and trying to please someone who cannot be satisfied. The opening lines, "Close enough to start a war, all that I have is on the floor, God only knows what we're fighting for," set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is exhausted and has had enough of fighting and being under the control of the person she is addressing in the song. She cannot keep up with their "turning tables" and feels suffocated.
The chorus of the song is a declaration of independence, with the lyrics "So, I won't let you close enough to hurt me, no, I won't ask you, you to just desert me, I can't give you what you think you gave me, it's time to say goodbye to turning tables." The singer is taking back control of her life and will not allow herself to be hurt or manipulated anymore. The final verse is a statement of resilience, with the singer vowing to be her own savior and stand on her own two feet. The song ends on a powerful note, with the repetition of the words "turning tables" emphasizing the end of the cycle and the beginning of a new chapter.
