Manners
Icona Pop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like it's up to you
You're coming back
You don't just walk all over broken hearts
Tearing love apart
You're coming back
You're coming back
Take a second look and you'll see
There is no one like me
Manners
You better reconsider
'Cause you will never do better
There is no one like me
You don't just walk away without a trace
You can tell it to my face
'Cause you're coming back
You don't just play around and get away
Hear me when I say
You're coming back
Oh, you're coming back
Manners
Take a second look and you'll see
There is no one like me
Manners
You better reconsider
'Cause you will never do better
There is no one like me
There is no one like me
Take a second look and you'll see
There is no one like me
Manners
Take a second look and you'll see
There is no one like me
Manners
You better reconsider
'Cause you will never do better
There is no one like me
There is no one like me
The lyrics of Icona Pop's song "Manners" seem to speak to a person who has been hurt by another's lack of consideration in a relationship. The singer emphasizes that leaving someone without a clue or walking all over a broken heart is not acceptable behavior. The person who has been wronged is confident that the other will come back, and they highlight their uniqueness and worth. The chorus repeats the message that there is no one like the singer and that the other person should reconsider their actions.
The lyrics capture the idea that just because someone is with a person they should not take them for granted or treat them poorly. The singer wants to be treated with respect and consideration in the relationship. The repeated line "You're coming back" shows confidence that the other person will see the error in their ways and return to the relationship on better terms. The singer's expression of self-worth tells the other person that they are missing out on someone special if they choose not to reconsider their actions.

@darcia the marina stan Now thats mature of you. I only stated my personal opinion to give others the oppertunity to decide for themself, and yet your reply is more or less a verbal attack. I might add that my comment is 7 years old.
