Trouble Is a Friend
Lenka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No Matter if you're fast no matter if you're slow, oh oh
The eye of the storm and the cry in the morn, oh oh
Your fine for a while but then start to loose control
He's there in the dark
He's there in my heart
He waits in the winds
Trouble is a friend
Yeah trouble is a friend of mine. oh oh
Trouble is a friend but trouble is a foe, oh oh
And no matter what I feed him he always seems to grow, oh oh
He sees what I see and he knows what I know, oh oh
So don't forget as you ease on down the road
So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm
I won't let him win, but I'm a sucker for his charm
Trouble is a friend
Yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh
Oh how I hate the way he makes me feel
And how I try to make him leave, I try
Oh Oh I try
In Lenka's song "Trouble Is A Friend", the lyrics speak about the inevitability of trouble and how it behaves like a friend and a foe. Trouble will find you no matter where you go, regardless of your speed, control, or willpower. It's like the eye of the storm, waiting for the opportune moment to strike. And once it's there, it starts to take control of your life, making you feel lost, confused, and vulnerable.
In the second verse, Lenka sheds light on the presence of trouble, which is always present in the dark corners of our hearts and minds. It waits in the winds, lurking like a dangerous predator, ready to pounce on our weaknesses. Although trouble can be seen as a friend, it's important to remember that it's just as much a foe. No matter what we do to try to get rid of it, it always seems to grow and flourish within us.
The chorus repeats the phrase "trouble is a friend of mine", emphasizing the acceptance of trouble as a part of life. Even though trouble can be challenging and difficult, it's something we have to coexist with, like a friend who we may love and hate, but who always remains by our side. The bridge part reveals the singer's frustration with trouble, the way it makes her feel, and her attempts to resist its hold on her, which again stresses the dichotomy of the song's subject – trouble can be both an ally and an enemy, and we need to learn to live with it.
