Trust Nobody
King Princess Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No, I don't ever trust but I trust you
Ain't that great
And I'm still dumb when no one's watching
I bet you're cute when no ones watching you
I guess it's fate
But I don't know nobody
She said, I'm getting there
They treat you like a ticket
But I just want to kick it
Honey, I'll take you there
When everyone starts calling for me
Oh (I only pick up for you)
Well I don't ever trust nobody
Think I'm cute and kinda funny, oh
I guess it's fair
And I get dumb when you start talking
And one more night and I might fall for you
Oh, I'm there
And she said meet me at the party
But I don't know nobody
She said, I'm getting there
They treat you like a ticket
But I just want to kick it
Honey, I'll take you there
When everyone starts calling for me
Oh, I only pick up for you
Watching me slip over words
It kinda hurts for what it's worth
I just want to be with you
But I don't know nobody
But she said, I'm getting there, oh
She said meet me at the party
But I don't know nobody
Watching me slip over words
It kinda hurts for what it's worth
I want to be with you
But I just want to kick it
Watching you slip over words
It kinda hurts for what it's worth
I just want to be with you
(I just want to be with you)
But I don't know nobody
But she said, you're getting there
Oh, I just want to be with you
(I just want to be with you)
(I just want to be with you)
(I just want to be with you)
(I just want to be with you)
The song "Trust Nobody" by King Princess is about the struggle to open up to others and trust them, especially in social situations like parties. The lyrics suggest that the singer has a tendency to be guarded and distrustful of most people, but finds herself drawn to one particular person who she feels she can trust. This person stands out to her as genuine and kind, and the singer is willing to take a chance on them, despite her usual reservations.
The chorus repeats the phrase "meet me at the party," which seems to represent a social gathering of some kind where the singer and this trusted individual will meet. However, the singer expresses feelings of insecurity and discomfort in such situations, suggesting that she is not comfortable in large groups or with strangers. She also suggests that people at these events view others as commodities (treating them like a ticket), while she just wants to connect with someone on a deeper level.
The second verse illustrates the singer's strong attraction to this person, which she admits has made her feel vulnerable and foolish (getting dumb when he starts talking). She is afraid of falling for him but is drawn to him nonetheless. The bridge repeats the anxiety and discomfort expressed earlier, but ends with the hopeful line "but she said, you're getting there," suggesting that the singer is making progress in learning to trust and connect with others.
Overall, "Trust Nobody" is an introspective and vulnerable song that explores the difficulty of opening up to others and finding connections in a social world that often feels superficial and untrustworthy.

Well I don't ever trust nobody
I have a hard time trusting people in general
No, I don't ever trust but I trust you
However, I trust you despite my trust issues
Ain't that great
I'm happy that I'm able to trust you
And I'm still dumb when no one's watching
I act foolishly when I'm alone
I bet you're cute when no ones watching you
I imagine that you're adorable when you're unguarded
I guess it's fate
Maybe it was meant to be that we found each other
And she said meet me at the party
Someone invited me to a party
But I don't know nobody
But I don't know anyone there
She said, I'm getting there
She's on her way to the party
They treat you like a ticket
People tend to use you for their own entertainment
But I just want to kick it
But all I want to do is hang out
Honey, I'll take you there
I'll take you to the party with me
When everyone starts calling for me
When people start trying to get my attention
Oh (I only pick up for you)
I'll only answer your calls
Think I'm cute and kinda funny, oh
You seem to like me despite my quirks
I guess it's fair
That's a fair assessment
And I get dumb when you start talking
I become silly when you speak to me
And one more night and I might fall for you
I might develop feelings for you if we spend more time together
Oh, I'm there
I'm fully invested in this potential relationship
Watching me slip over words
Observing me struggle with my speech
It kinda hurts for what it's worth
It's painful to be vulnerable in front of you
I just want to be with you
All I want is to spend time with you
But she said, I'm getting there, oh
She's almost to the point where she wants to be with me too
But I just want to kick it
I'm not looking for anything serious, just to hang out
Watching you slip over words
Seeing you struggling with your speech
It kinda hurts for what it's worth
It's painful to see you vulnerable in front of me
I just want to be with you
All I want is to spend time with you
(I just want to be with you)
I'm emphasizing how much I want to be with you
(I just want to be with you)
I can't stress it enough how much I want to be with you
(I just want to be with you)
It's really all I want
(I just want to be with you)
I hope you feel the same way

I don't ever trust nobody

And she said "Meet me at the party"

Oh when everyone starts calling for me
I'll only pick up for you
