Keith Urban say that she sounded like she'd "swallowed Janis Joplin" and Joel Madden to describe her voice as being "from outer space".
Don't Ask Me
Karise Eden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just let me go and pack my things
Don't want to talk, dont want to fight
Don't have the words to make this right
Slow
Slowly like a sinking stone
Im better off alone
So don't ask me why the love we had is over now
Don't ask me cuz the truth is going to cut you down
Don't ask me
Don't ask me
Cuz I don't know
So don't ask me how I feel about you now
It's like a beauty you just can't see
Stuck in a place you just can't be
Always failing in your eyes
so this should come as no surprise
Slow
Slowly like a sinking stone
Im better off alone...
So don't ask me why the love we had is over now
Don't ask me cuz the truth is going to cut you down
Don't ask me
Don't ask me
Cuz I don't know
So don't ask me how I feel about you now
Don't. Don't ask me. Don't.
Don't ask me, don't ask me.
Don't ask me. Don't ask me.
Don't.
So don't ask me why the love we had is over now.
Don't ask me because the truth is going to cut you down
Don't ask me, don't ask me
Cuz I don't know
So don't ask me how I feel about you now
Don't ask.
The lyrics of Karise Eden's song Don't Ask Me speak of a relationship that has come to an end. The singer asks their partner to let them go and pack their things without any confrontation. They do not want to talk or argue because they do not have any words left to make things right. The singer feels better off alone like a "sinking stone" and they do not want to discuss why the love they had is now over. The truth of the matter will only cut their partner down and the singer does not have the answer to why things did not work out. They also express that their partner never saw their true beauty and was always failing in their eyes, so the end of the relationship should not come as a surprise. The ultimate message of the song is for their partner not to ask the singer about their feelings towards the past relationship.
The lyrics of Don’t Ask Me are about a breakup with someone that the singer loved, but ultimately this person began to take her for granted. While they had some loving moments, the relationship was overall not enough for her. She ultimately has to leave the relationship, but she doesn’t know why it didn’t work out, so she doesn’t want to talk about it. The reason why the singer does not answer her partner's questions is that it is not going to change the end result, and the truth is just going to hurt. The singer has learned to accept the fact and move on.
