really bad song..
I and the Universe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wonder what you?d do
Just to make them like you
Just how far you'd go
That you could call those people friends
You lie right to my face, expect me to believe it
You said you?d rather walk away
Than let me fall to pieces
(Chorus)
Because I knew it would fail, result in catastrophe
A major betrayal would end in disaster
You're walking on water, strolling along as I drown
Don't you see if you can hide this from me
Then you deserve to be free
And I can see it in your eyes
And all I ever needed I lost in your hurt feeling
And I can see it in your eyes

And all the time that you say
You're tired of this place
You're so sick of my face, but I'm still waiting around on you
And I know that you won't show
Sometimes we all just need, something to believe
Something so much more than you
Something so much more than me

(Chorus)
Because I knew it would fail, result in catastrophe
A major betrayal would end in disaster
You're walking on water, strolling along as I drown
Don't you see if you can hide this from me
Then you deserve to be free
And I can see it in your eyes
And all I ever needed I lost in your hurt feeling
And I can see it in your eyes

I hope you're happy now

I was wrong when I blamed you for everything
You took your chance by yourself
I'm proud of you
We waited so long and baby you were strong,
Never weak like me
And I thought I would fade from the choices you made,
The footprints on my back, landed flat on my face
But today, yea today I'll try and smile

(Chorus)
Because I knew it would fail, result in catastrophe
A major betrayal would end in disaster
You're walking on water, strolling along as I drown
Don't you see if you can hide this from me
Then you deserve to be free
And I can see it in your eyes
And all I ever needed I lost in your hurt feeling
And I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your eyes
I hope you?re happy now




I hope you?re happy now
I hope you?re happy now

Overall Meaning

In "Really Bad Song" by I and the Universe, the singer appears to be talking about a past relationship. They question what the other person would do to make people like them and how far they would go to be liked, insinuating that they may have betrayed the singer. The relationship seems to have been a difficult one, with the other person lying to the singer and saying they would rather walk away than let them fall apart. The chorus plays on the idea that the relationship was doomed to fail and that the ultimate betrayal would end in disaster for the singer. The singer feels like they are drowning while the other person just walks on water, pretending like there's nothing wrong.


However, in the last verse, the song takes a turn, and the singer apologizes for blaming the other person for everything. They praise the other person for being strong and taking their chances, even if it meant leaving the singer behind. Although they initially thought they would fade away because of the other person's choices, they vow to try and smile today. The singer then repeats the chorus, ending with the line "I hope you're happy now." This line is especially poignant because it highlights the singer's pain and how much they cared for the other person, even though they may have been hurt in the end.

“This is all your fault anyways!”

While it’s true that pink left spinel in the garden. Telling her to stand still. (I don’t think she promised spinel she was coming back).

Pink ultimate had a reason to due so if I recall. Pink had been begging for a colony for a long time and she needed to “mature” to earn it. Assuming that with heavy responsibilities Spinel would become a burden to Pink and If she simply told spinel she is no longer needed spinel would be HEARTBROKEN if not completely “Shattered” by this statement alone.

I am not saying that what pink did what “right” in anyway. (I mean it’s almost just as bad as abandoning a loyal dog and never returning) My point of this statement is that the situation is very heavy in the matter and that either way whatever choice pinks make she is just portrayed as a “bad person”. The only difference it makes is that Pink abandons a loyal gem or Pink outright murders a loyal gem.
