Ignorance
McFly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and you can't bring me down.
But it's won over by ignorance
Tonight is won over by ignorance
These pills weren't meant to hurt you
But today and ever more if fools were meant to f**k you.
Then why do fools fall in love
Has blown up your walls again again
Your lies are all part of your intelect,
These pills weren't meant to hurt you
But today and ever more if fools were meant to f**k you.
Then why do fools fall in love
In the story I was told well this was never mentioned,
Must have missed the chapter,
When I was 17 years old,
And there's nothing left but love
An unfortunate consequence,
And you'll burn in hell when you fall against,
These pills weren't meant to hurt you
But today and ever more if fools were meant to f**k you.
then why do fools fall in love
In the story I was told well this was never mentioned,
Must have missed the chapter,
when I was 17 years old,
And there's nothing left but
They wont let go
when you see her coming
please let me know
(x 4)
I'm too far gone
it's all over
and you can't bring me down.
Don't say your never gonna leave me
Down..
The lyrics to McFly's song Ignorance seem to touch on themes of betrayal, heartbreak, and the consequences of being ignorant to the reality of a situation. The opening lines suggest that the singer has reached a point of no return; that they have moved past the pain and nothing can bring them down. However, the phrase "won over by ignorance" suggests that perhaps the singer is only able to cope with their situation by ignoring the reality of it.
The lines "These pills weren't meant to hurt you, but today and ever more if fools were meant to f**k you. Then why do fools fall in love" suggest that the singer may have been hurt by someone they trusted, perhaps as a result of their own ignorance or naivety. The mention of "fools" falling in love implies that the singer may feel foolish for having trusted this person in the first place.
The final lines of the song, "They won't let go when you see her coming, please let me know" suggest that the singer's pain is ongoing and they are struggling to move on from the hurt they have experienced.
Overall, the lyrics to Ignorance seem to be about the pain and complications that can arise from trusting someone too much, and the frustration of feeling let down by that person.

I don't think Mcfly can write a bad song. Dougie is brilliant and i am happy the band respects his ability to bring something different to the table
@Kenny2k08
Easily their best track. I wish Dougie did more writing for them.
@hypnotisedbabe
I'm really, really in love with this song! I think it's one of those songs you just grow to like after you hear it a few times. Well, that's what it was like for me. I really like Dougie's style. It's really awesome.
