Never Trust Me
Marlango Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to sweat
And be so cold
I want the grasp
The tear, the sigh
I want to get you wrong
And get it right

I always get it wrong
But you're so right
I always get it wrong
But you're so right
Never trust me

I want to scratch
And lick your wounds
I want to run, to scream, to cry
I want to get you right
And get it wrong

I always get it wrong
But you're so right
I always get it wrong
But you're so right
Believe me, don't trust me

Never trust me, never trust me

Do all i say you can't
Do all they say you shouldn't

I never get it right
But you're so wrong
I never get it right
But you're so wrong
I always get it wrong
But you're so right




Believe me, don't trust me
I'll let you go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Marlango's song Never Trust Me seem to express the complex and often conflicting emotions of the singer towards their lover. The opening lines suggest a desire for both intensity and distance in the relationship - wanting to both "sweat" and be "so cold." The following lines express a longing to experience a range of emotions, from the tender ("the grasp / the tear, the sigh") to the tumultuous ("to run, to scream, to cry").


The lyrics then shift to an acknowledgement of the singer's tendency to make mistakes in the relationship, contrasting this with the perception that their lover always gets it "so right." The repeated refrain of "never trust me" seems to reflect a lack of confidence in the singer's ability to fully commit to the relationship, or perhaps a fear of disappointing their partner.


The final lines are somewhat enigmatic - the singer urges their lover to "do all I say you can't / do all they say you shouldn't," before ultimately conceding that they "never get it right." The song ends with the bittersweet admission that despite their flaws, the singer is willing to let their lover go if that is what is best.


Overall, the lyrics to Never Trust Me convey a sense of complexity and ambivalence in the singer's feelings, balancing a desire for intimacy with a fear of vulnerability and a recognition of their own shortcomings.
