You Lose!
Magdalena Bay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You, you say
You wanna go far away
I wanna know the place you crave
Is everything different or the same?

I'm running out of my time
A flower gone dry
Your lips touching mine won't do
Only what's left of my pride
Could lust for a lie
You aim, you attack, you lose

You say that you trust in me
And I say that I disagree

I'm out of my time
I'm lost in the crime
Your lips touching mine won't do
Only what's left of my pride
Could fall for a lie
You aim, you attack, you lose
You lose

You, you play
But there are no winners in the game
I wanna know the final stage
Where we go when the curtain fades

I'm running out of my time
A flower gone dry
Your lips touching mine won't do
Only what's left of my pride
Could lust for a lie
You aim, you attack, you lose

And you say that you trust in me
And I say that I disagree
And you say that you trust in me
And I say that I disagree

I'm out of my time
I'm lost in the crime
Your lips touching mine won't do
Only what's left of my pride
Could fall for a lie
You aim, you attack, you lose

I'm running out of my time
I'm lost in the crime
Your lips touching mine won't do
Only what's left of my pride
Could fall for a lie
You aim, you attack, you lose





You lose
You lose

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Magdalena Bay's song You Lose! explore the theme of disillusionment in a relationship that was built on false promises. The song is a conversation between two people, one of whom wants to go far away while the other is left wondering if everything will be different or the same in the new place. The singer is running out of time, like a flower gone dry, indicating that the relationship has already reached its expiration date. The other person's lips touching theirs won't make things better, and only pride is left before them.


The lyrics go on to describe a trust issue with lines like "you say that you trust in me and I say that I disagree." The final chorus repeats the same message, that the other person is out of time, lost in the crime, and that even if their lips touch, only pride is left to fall for a lie. The song ends on a somber note, repeating the words "you lose" three times.


Overall, the song appears to be about the disillusionment that occurs when one person believes in a relationship built on illusions, realizing that their partner's promises are nothing but a facade. The singer has already been through this and is warning the other person, making it clear that they can't force something to work that is already doomed.
