Screaming Infidelities
Joanna Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm missing your bed, I never sleep
Avoiding the spots we'd have to speak
And this bottle of beast is taking me home

I'm cuddling close to blankets and sheets
But you're not alone and you're not discreet
Make sure I know who's taking you home
I'm reading your note over again
There's not a word that I comprehend
Except when you signed it
"I'll love you always and forever"

Well, as for now I'm gonna hear
The saddest songs and sit alone, and wonder
How you're making out?

But as for me I wish that I was anywhere
With anyone, making out

Missing your laugh, how did it break?
And when did your eyes begin to look fake?
I hope you're as happy as you 're pretending

I'm cuddling close to blankets and sheets
But I am alone in my defeat
I wish, I knew you were safely at home

I'm missing your bed, I never sleep
Avoiding the spots where we'd have speak
And this bottle of beast is taking me home

Your hair, it's everywhere
Screaming infidelities, it's taking its wear
Your hair, it's everywhere
Screaming infidelities, it's taking its wear

Well, as for now I'm gonna hear
The saddest songs and sit alone, and wonder
How you're making out?

But as for me I wish that I was anywhere
With anyone, making out

Your hair, it's everywhere
Screaming infidelities, it's taking its wear
Your hair, it's everywhere
Screaming infidelities, it's taking its wear

Your hair, it's everywhere
Screaming infidelities, it's taking its wear




Your hair, it's everywhere
Screaming infidelities, it's taking its wear

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Joanna's song "Screaming Infidelities" touch upon themes of heartbreak, longing, and betrayal. The singer is clearly missing their former lover and finding it difficult to move on from the pain of the breakup. They describe avoiding places where they may run into their ex-partner and seeking solace in alcohol and music. The line "And this bottle of beast is taking me home" is particularly poignant, suggesting that the singer is using alcohol as a crutch to help them cope with their emotions.


Throughout the song, the singer also seems to be struggling with the fact that their ex-partner has likely moved on and is pretending to be happy without them. The line "I hope you're as happy as you're pretending" indicates that the singer is not entirely convinced of their ex-partner's happiness. The repeated lines about the ex-partner's hair being everywhere and the infidelities they committed suggest that the singer may still harbor anger and resentment towards their former lover.
