Harmful Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I kept still while you strung me up
I've got to know what you're asking for
Can a taste of love be so wrong?
You may find your love is gone
I've got to know how you've been before
And you told me, why with your charmed eyes
When it comes around with an awful sound
I'll be on my way
Try to bruise what I've been before
There's nothing left to adore
Show me the place where you start to heal
I can't bear your complaints
I lie down and go insane
You've got to know how I'd been before
And you told me why with your charmed eyes
Can't get you out of my head
When it comes around, with an awful sound
I'll be on my way
Well, you're sorry for what you've done
I kept still while you strung me up
I've got to know what you're asking for
Can a taste of love be so wrong?
You may find your love is gone
I've got to know how you've been before
And you told me, why with your charmed eyes
Can't get you out of my head
When it comes around with an awful sound
I'll be on my way
And you told me, why with your charmed eyes
Can't get you out of my head
When it comes around with an awful sound
I'll be on my way
The lyrics of "Not In Love" by Harmful explore the complex emotions of an individual who is reflecting upon a past relationship that has ended. The song is a blend of sadness, confusion, anger, and acceptance. The first verse sets the tone of the song by stating that the individual is aware that their ex-partner has hurt them but they have kept quiet. They want to know why their partner ended the relationship, and if falling in love was a wrong choice. At the same time, they acknowledge that their love is gone, and they want to know how their ex-partner has been doing.

The chorus of the song talks about how the ex-partner's charm has a strong grip on the individual's mind, they cannot stop thinking about them even after the relationship is over. However, when the memories of their ex come back with a painful sound, they want to move on with their life.
Overall, the lyrics of "Not In Love" showcase the various stages of dealing with a breakup, from pain to acceptance to moving forward. It highlights the importance of self-care and the process of healing after a toxic relationship.
Line by Line Meaning
Well, you're sorry for what you've done
You regret your actions and are apologizing
I kept still while you strung me up
I didn't react while you emotionally hurt me
I've got to know what you're asking for
I need to understand your intentions
Can a taste of love be so wrong?
Is it immoral to desire love?
You may find your love is gone
Your love may disappear
I've got to know how you've been before
I need to understand your past behavior
And you told me, why with your charmed eyes
You explained to me with your alluring gaze
Can't get you out of my head
I can't stop thinking about you
When it comes around with an awful sound
When reality hits and it's painful
I'll be on my way
I will leave or move on
Try to bruise what I've been before
You attempt to damage my past self
There's nothing left to adore
There's no positive qualities left to admire
Show me the place where you start to heal
Tell me where you begin to recover from your own wounds
I can't bear your complaints
I can't handle your negativity
I lie down and go insane
I feel overwhelmed and lose my sanity

For me, Charmed & Dangerous is one of the best episodes of the series. Great suspense, solid action, and it still manages to set up multiple arcs for the rest of the season. It's Charmed at its peak.
Better With Bob?
Agreed!
edelweiss88
@Better With Bob? In many ways I feel that this episode serves as the natural conclusion to the first era of Charmed. They've inherited a dangerous destiny, they've grappled with it emotionally, their powers have advanced, they've confronted the top evil, one of them has lost her life, and by rebuilding their lives and welcoming the one family member they never knew was missing, they defeat the top evil, with the help of someone who went on his own journey and became part of the family along the way. Without the last shot of this episode, it's possible to end the show here, or at least declare it End of Part One, like the 5th season finale of a later supernatural show (it's also possible to declare this with all but the last 5 seconds of Womb Raider).
What follows from here is what might be called the Tragedy of Cole and How It Messed With the Sisters, which kind of lasts until Chris, arguably until 6x14 or at least 6x10. Then the third and final part is about the building of a family legacy.

@edelweiss88 It definitely does. Stopping the Source was such a big part of their identities, slowing building up and then going into overdrive after Prue's death. The Angel of Destiny even confirms it's the end of an era by telling them they've fulfilled their destiny in Season 4's last episode.
In my opinion, once the Source was gone by the season's end, it created a villain void that the writers struggled to fill. Cole steps into that role as a tragic figure like you said, but it's not for long.
I did like the introduction of Chris and how the show explored the complicated family dynamics there, but with a few exceptions, I never felt Piper, Phoebe, and Paige ever had the shadow of a Big Bad hanging over them again like they had with the Source. He haunted them for years (minus Paige). He killed their sister. And when they thought he was dead, he took over another sister's husband, poisoned their marriage, and impregnated Phoebe with literal evil. Such a dark storyline.
The show did introduce other Big Bads, but with a few exceptions, they weren't very threatening for me at least, and what they brought to the table in terms of long-term consequences felt nearly non-existent.
Zero’ The Hero
Hey love the channel! Just wondering if you have done the episode when piper and phoebe compare Paige to prue the whole episode… don’t know the name I just remember that Paige couldn’t do something prue could in the beginning but by the end she could… thanks 😊

Love that you cover Phoebe's moments here, she was constantly underestimated, often by her own sisters (even as far in as Season 6) and yet it was often her power or her creative thinking that saved the day. She was also the only sister to stand toe to toe with The Source (not counting times when he was disguised), and even though seasons 5 and 6 made her a bit of a mess, I always felt that actually makes a lot of sense. Seasons 3 and 4 were huge and devastating for Phoebe, she falls in love, he turns out to be evil, she betrays her sisters, then Prue dies, she finds a new sister while propping up Piper, then her boyfriend becomes possessed, he marries and impregnates her with evil, she becomes queen of the underworld, then has to chose between her sisters and her husband, kills her husband, has her baby stolen, then technically kills the baby, before hubby comes back for one last round of emotional pingpong. It's never acknowledged but she had the most trauma of all of the characters and handled it the way many of us do, by repressing it and running away. It makes sense that she'd be a mess in 5 & 6, making terrible decisions, becoming selfish, obsessed with finding love (because Phoebe would have some hectic abandonment issues). To top it off, a moment in Hell Hath No Fury that is often skated over is that Phoebe thinks Piper blames her for Prue's death, and while we find out Piper was really mad at Prue, there's no acknowledgement of it afterwards. Even if Phoebe is projecting, it still shows that the thought has crossed her mind, would Prue be alive if she hadn't gone to the underworld? What is also often skated over is that Phoebe sacrificed herself to save Piper while she was down there. For these reasons and more I always thought Phoebe's characterisation was the most realistic, we're not always likable all the time, and in many cases our traumas can inform out behaviour. As time goes on Phoebe does return to herself, and it's not shoved down our throats, it happens over time as she painfully learns lessons over and over. Side-note: Phoebe's bad luck ends around season 8, 7 years after she broke the mirror to vanquish Kali. Obviously not planned, but it's fun to think about. Anyway, enjoy my rant!
Better With Bob?
I saw someone else point out that Phoebe's fussing over Wyatt when he was first born, even wanting to take time off to be at home with him, could be a residual effect of the fact that she was pregnant for a while and lost her baby. In hindsight, Phoebe being a doting aunt and wanting to make her vision of a future child come true is all the more heartbreaking.
TCt83067695
That's a refreshing perspective. Makes me reconsider if I've been too harsh in my criticisms of her in later years.
Also sorry, what episode did she break a mirror in S8?
Phillip Lee Curtis
Yes I saw that too! I think much of it is incidental but actually really lines up with the psychology of trauma. Phoebe also never had her parents or any memory of them, so the whole series she yearns for connection, even when it's unhealthy, and she dives in head first every time. To then have your first love turn out to be several forms of evil would only add to all that. So I've always thought the narrative from not just the demons, but the audience, that Phoebe was the weakest was unfair and incorrect, I think she's the strongest because she had to be, she had to fight the same evils as her sisters, deal with the same losses and then some, with no defensive powers, at some points with no powers at all, while also having the strongest lean towards evil. Iconic!
Phillip Lee Curtis
@TCt83067695 she breaks the mirror in season 1 episode 7 (the fourth sister) and 7 years later (S8 Ep7 The Lost Picture Show) she finally stops trying to force finding love and kids (when the woman at the sperm bank gives her some home truths). From then on her search becomes less forced, she is able to move out of the manor and be open to love again, leading her to Coop and her future kids. It's totally not planned, but it's a fun coincidence
