Signs
Ike Dweck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the way you talk to your friends when I'm round
And
I feel it, without you having to say a word out loud
Cause your texts get shorter
Responses' cold
When you pull me in closer
I don't know
Where it all went wrong
I've been Trying
to ignore all of these signs
The thoughts that have been crossing my mind
No I don't believe it when
You say that it's all in my head
Won't let me admit it's the end
Oh my heart knows we're strangers again
Oh I know we're strangers again, Ooo
Do you mean it,
When you say you're fine, you've only just been tired
If you're set on leaving
Why have you been wasting all my time
Can't shake this feeling
The ache in my chest
We once had something
Now theres nothing left
Of this home
Where did it all go wrong
I've been Trying
to ignore all of these signs
The thoughts that have been crossing my mind
No I don't believe it when
You say that it's all in my head
Won't let me admit it's the end
Oh
my heart knows we're strangers again
Did i give you a reason to fall out of love
Was it something I did? Are you self sabotaging
Im overthinking again
About everything you said
I've been trying
But i cant ignore all these signs
Accepting you're no longer mine
Now I know
I've been trying
to ignore all of these signs
The thoughts that have been crossing my mind
No I don't believe it when
You tell me we'll still be best friends
Cause we both know that this is the end
my heart knows we're strangers again
I know we're strangers again
I know we're strangers again

They refuse to accept their partner's dismissal that it's all in their head and instead acknowledge the truth that they are becoming strangers again.

The singer wonders where it all went wrong and tries to suppress their thoughts of doubt and uncertainty. The chorus repeats, emphasizing their struggle to ignore the signs, but the emotional pain becomes harder to bear.
Line by Line Meaning
I see it
I can perceive and understand the signs of trouble in our relationship
In the way you talk to your friends when I'm round
I notice how your behavior changes towards me when we're with your friends
And
I feel it, without you having to say a word out loud
I sense the tension and distance between us even without you expressing it verbally
Cause your texts get shorter
I've noticed that your text messages have become brief and lacking in warmth
Responses' cold
Your responses feel distant and devoid of emotion
When you pull me in closer
Despite you physically drawing me near, I feel even more isolated
I'm more alone and
Instead of feeling connected, I feel increasingly lonely
I don't know
I'm unsure
Where it all went wrong
I can't pinpoint exactly when our relationship took a turn for the worse
I've been Trying
I've been making an effort
to ignore all of these signs
I've been attempting to disregard all the warning signals
The thoughts that have been crossing my mind
The thoughts of doubt and concern that have been occupying my thoughts
No I don't believe it when
I refuse to accept it when
You say that it's all in my head
You claim that my suspicions are merely figments of my imagination
Won't let me admit it's the end
I'm not allowing myself to acknowledge that our relationship is coming to a close
Oh my heart knows we're strangers again
However, deep down, I can feel that we have become unfamiliar to each other once more
Oh I know we're strangers again, Ooo
I am fully aware that our connection has deteriorated, leaving us as strangers
Do you mean it,
Are you being sincere
When you say you're fine, you've only just been tired
Do you genuinely believe that your recent aloofness is due to tiredness and not something else
If you're set on leaving
If you have made up your mind about ending our relationship
Why have you been wasting all my time
Why have you been causing me to invest my time and energy into something you are no longer committed to
Can't shake this feeling
I can't get rid of this intuition
The ache in my chest
The emotional pain I feel in my heart
We once had something
There was a time when we shared a meaningful connection
Now theres nothing left
But now, there is nothing remaining between us
Of this home
Of what we used to call our shared home and relationship
Where did it all go wrong
I can't fathom how our relationship deteriorated to this point
Did i give you a reason to fall out of love
Did I do something to cause you to lose your feelings for me
Was it something I did? Are you self sabotaging
Is the decline of our relationship because of my actions, or are you purposely ruining it
Im overthinking again
I am overanalyzing and obsessing over this situation once more
About everything you said
Concerning every word you have uttered
But i cant ignore all these signs
However, I cannot disregard all these indications
Accepting you're no longer mine
Realizing and coming to terms with the fact that you are no longer mine
Now I know
I am now aware
You tell me we'll still be best friends
You assure me that we will remain best friends
Cause we both know that this is the end
But deep down, we both know that this is the conclusion of our romantic relationship
my heart knows we're strangers again
My emotions confirm that we have become strangers once again
I know we're strangers again
I am completely certain that we are now unfamiliar to each other
