Tyler Durden
Madison Beer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

With my fingers in your mouth
You're only speaking vowels
And I like it
And with your hand around my throat
I don't wanna see you go
'Cause I like it
I took one too many
Now I got to stay up all night
Or else I'm done for
I'm done for

I'm in love with Tyler Durden
That's why this shit ain't never working for me
I'm in love with a fantasy

This is your life and it's ending
One minute at a time
So what you gonna do?
Yeah, what you gonna do?
I've one too many for you to take me down
So you gonna need to keep me up or I'ma fall down

And I'm in love with Tyler Durden
That's why this shit ain't never working for me
'Cause I'm in love with a fantasy
'Cause I'm in love with Tyler Durden




That's why none of this
No, none of its ever working

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of the song “Tyler Durden” by Madison Beer speak about a sexual encounter, wherein the singer enjoys her partner’s action of putting their fingers in her mouth such that she can only speak vowels. The reference to liking it implies that it’s a pleasurable act for her. The next line talks about her partner holding her by the throat. It’s indicative of the fact that the singer enjoys this type of physical dominance as it adds an element of danger and excitement to the sexual encounter. The following lyrics mention the singer taking one too many, perhaps implying that she’s drunk or high. She admits that she has to stay up all night, or else she’s done for. The phrase “I’m done for” could allude to the fact that the singer would be in a vulnerable state if she weren’t awake.


However, the theme of the song revolves around the singer’s obsession with the character Tyler Durden from the movie “Fight Club.” She seems to draw comparisons between her sexual encounter and the character’s unlikely heroism. The chorus of the song clearly states that the singer is in love with Tyler Durden and not with reality. The line, “'Cause I’m in love with a fantasy” could be an implication that the singer has an unrealistic perception of how relationships and love work. The final lyric, “That’s why none of this, No, none of its ever working” implies that the singer’s romantic endeavors are always bound to fail as she measures them against a fictional character.

Tyler Durden

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
With my fingers in your mouth
You're only speaking vowels
And I like it
And with your hand around my throat
I don't wanna see you go
'Cause I like it
I took one too many
Now I got to stay up all night
Or else I'm done for
I'm done for

[Chorus]
I'm in love with Tyler Durden
That's why this shit ain't never working for me
I'm in love with a fantasy

[Verse 2]
This is your life and it's ending
One minute at a time
So what you gonna do?
Yeah, what you gonna do?
I've had one too many for you to take me down
So you gonna need to keep me up or I'ma fall down

[Chorus]
And I'm in love with Tyler Durden
That's why this shit ain't never working for me
I'm in love with a fantasy
'Cause I'm in love with Tyler Durden
That's why none of this
No, none of it's ever working

"Tyler Durden"

I left my fingers in your mouth
You're only speaking vowels
And I like it
And with your hand around my throat
I don't wanna see you go
'Cause I like it
I took one too many
Now I got to stay up all night
Or else I'm done for
I'm done for

I'm in love with Tyler Durden
That's why this shit ain't never working for me
I'm in love with a fantasy

This is your life and it's ending
One minute at a time
So what you gonna do?
Yeah, what you gonna do?
I've one too many for you to take me down
So you gonna need to keep me up or I'ma fall down

And I'm in love with Tyler Durden
That's why this shit ain't never working for me
I'm in love with a fantasy
'Cause I'm in love with Tyler Durden
That's why none of this
No, none of its ever working

This song means to much to me. for me it's like when you realise the person you think you're in love with isn't actually the person you thought they were and you're just in love with the fantasy that you created around that person and you realise you have to move on because they'll never be the person you thought they were

Welcome to Fight Club. The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is: you DO NOT talk about Fight Club! Third rule of Fight Club: if someone yells “stop!”, goes limp, or taps out, the fight is over. Fourth rule: only two guys to a fight. Fifth rule: one fight at a time, fellas. Sixth rule: the fights are bare knuckle. No shirt, no shoes, no weapons. Seventh rule: fights will go on as long as they have to. And the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at Fight Club, you have to fight.
