Love Me Wrong
Isak Danielson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You make me want to make mistakes
You turn temptation into my best friend
You make me just give up and cave
Will I ever fall in love like this again?

I'm in Hell
You taste your smell
I know you far too well
It's a spell
That took me from a dream to this motel
I ring the bell 'cause honestly, I'd rather be with you than by myself

So love me wrong if you can't love me right
All I want is to be in your vibes
You're the one who builds my paradise
Love me, love me wrong
Love me, love me wrong
If you can't love me right

You make me take what I can get
Your love is poison that won't let me live
You make me drunk and desperate
'Cause it helps me to forget what you don't give

I'm in Hell
You taste your smell
I know you far too well
It's a spell
That took me from a dream to this motel
I ring the bell 'cause honestly, I'd rather be with you than by myself

So love me wrong if you can't love me right
All I want is to be in your vibes
You're the one who builds my paradise
Love me, love me wrong
Love me, love me wrong
If you can't love me right

(Love me wrong)

I'm in Hell
You taste your smell
I know you far too well
It's a spell
That took me from a dream to this motel
I ring the bell 'cause honestly, I'd rather be with you than by myself

So love me wrong if you can't love me right
All I want is to be in your vibes
You're the one who builds my paradise
Love me, love me wrong
Love me, love me wrong

Can you just love me wrong
If you can't love me right
All I want is to be in your vibes
You're the one who builds my paradise
Love me, love me wrong




Love me, love me wrong
If you can't love me right

Overall Meaning

The song "Love Me Wrong" by Isak Danielson is a reflection on the complex and often tumultuous nature of romantic relationships. The lyrics suggest that the singer is in a relationship that is not necessarily healthy or fulfilling, but he is unable to let go of the other person. He acknowledges that his partner is not providing him with the love he deserves, but he cannot resist their allure and the temporary escape from his problems that they offer him.


The opening lines of the song, "You make me want to make mistakes / You turn temptation into my best friend" suggest that the singer is aware of the destructive path that he is on, but he is powerless to escape it. He goes on to describe his partner as a source of both pleasure and pain, saying "Your love is poison that won't let me live / You make me drunk and desperate / 'Cause it helps me to forget what you don't give." The chorus of the song is a plea for his partner to continue to love him, even if it means doing it in the wrong way. He would rather be with them, even if it means being in a troubled relationship, than be alone.


In this song, Isak Danielson portrays the complexities of human relationships in a way that is both honest and nuanced. He acknowledges that sometimes the things that we want the most are not necessarily the things that are good for us, and that love, while often beautiful and transformative, can also be painful and destructive.

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
You make me want to make mistakes
You turn temptation into my best friend
You make me just give up and cave
Will I ever fall in love like this again?

(Pre chorus)
I'm in hell, your taste, your smell
I know you far too well
It's a spell, that took me
From a dream to this motel
I ring the bell, cause honestly,
I'd rather be with you
Than by myself

(Chorus)
So love me wrong,
If you can't love me right
All I want is to be in your vice
You are the one who builds my paradise

Love me, love me wrong
Love me, love me wrong
If you can't love me right

(Verse 2)
You make me take what I can't get
Your love is poison that won't let me live
You make me drunk and desperate
Cause it helps me forget what you don't give

(Pre chorus)
I'm in hell, your taste, your smell
I know you far too well
It's a spell, that took me
From a dream to this motel
I ring the bell, cause honestly,
I'd rather be with you
Than by myself

(Chorus)
So love me wrong,
If you can't love me right
All I want is to be in your vice
You are the one who builds my paradise

Love me, love me wrong
Love me, love me wrong
If you can't love me right

(Bridge)
I'm in hell, your taste, your smell
I know you far too well
It's a spell, that took me
From a dream to this motel
I ring the bell, cause honestly,
I'd rather be with you
Than by myself

So love me wrong,
If you can't love me right
All I want is to be in your eyes
You are the one who builds my paradise

Love me, love me wrong
Love me, love me wrong

Can you just love me wrong
If you can't love me right
All I want is to be in your vice
You're the one who builds my paradise

Love me, love me wrong
Love me, love me wrong
If you can't love me right

Edit I'm sorry if this is wrong, I couldn't understand what he was saying during the parts of "All I want is to be in your ..." So I improvised it to eyes, if anyone knows what it is, I'll change it. And if there's any other mistake, sorry! Also love this song and this album!!
Edit 2 I am very dumb, the lyrics were in the description. -_- thank you to the person who pointed that out!
