I didn't mean it
Hurts to Purr Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I didn't mean it
I didn't mean what I said
And now I'm lying here
With the leaves in our bed

Make the sheets all rough
I am much too tough on you
I didn't mean it
I didn't mean what I said
And now I can't eat my food
Turns to gravel, to sediment

Oh I miss your mouth
What I'd give to taste that mouth

I didn't mean it
I didn't mean what I said
Should have just held my tongue
Nodded

But my hands were full
And my chain link words came out




Shaking so hard they rattled
Oh they rattled

Overall Meaning

The song "I Didn't Mean It" by Hurts to Purr is a heartfelt apology from an individual who has hurt their partner with their words. The song starts with the admission of guilt, "I didn't mean what I said," and the sorrowful confession, "And now I'm lying here with the leaves in our bed." The leaves on the bed symbolize the emotional aftermath of the hurtful words; a sign of destruction and chaos. The singer is also aware of their partner's emotional sensitivity towards them, "Make the sheets all rough, I am much too tough on you." They recognize their part in causing this turmoil between them and want to make amends by addressing the issue directly.


The chorus highlights the guilt, regret, and longing that they feel towards their partner, "Oh, I miss your mouth, what I'd give to taste that mouth." They acknowledge that they have hurt their partner so much that they don't have the appetite to eat anymore, "And now I can't eat my food, turns to gravel, to sediment." This line emphasizes the depth of their sorrow and remorse for their actions.


In the second verse, the singer admits that they should have kept their mouth shut and simply nodded, but the weight of their emotions and their hands being full made them unable to control their chain link of hurtful words, "But my hands were full, and my chain link words came out, shaking so hard they rattled, oh they rattled." This portrayal of the singer's hands being full and shaking underlines their feelings of stress, perhaps from the relationship, which led them to lash out at their partner.

When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid – repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
The first sign - the Earth will spin faster.
The second sign concerns the sun, which will loom larger, brighter and begin to spin.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beaware – Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 – rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist – the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope – will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.

- banking collapse was deliberately masterminded by the Antichrist

- Antichrist will step in and create a false peace in the state of Israel by joining them with palestine in an unlikely alliance.

- „He will recite extracts from My Teachings, which he will passionately proclaim from every secular stage in the world, until people sit up and take notice of him.“
