I'm sorry
Midi & The Modern Dance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I answered your question
You're on double meanings
But I shouldn't talk, I shouldn't speak
Out of turn, I'm out of turn
But what you'll see is what you'll get
What you'll see is what you'll get
What you'll see is what you'll get
What you'll see is what you'll get
What you'll see is what you'll get
What you see is what you'll get
What you'll see is what you'll get
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Dear, I'm so sorry
The lyrics to Midi & The Modern Dance's song I'm Sorry seem to reflect the singer's confusion and regret over a situation they find themselves in. The line "What am I now, when I go to speak?" suggests a sense of uncertainty and self-doubt in the singer, as if they're not sure what they should say or how they should act. The following line "I answered your question, you're on double meanings" suggests that the singer is trying to communicate with someone, but that person is not being straightforward with them.
The line "But what you'll see is what you'll get" is repeated multiple times, implying that the singer is being honest and transparent, and that there is no hidden meaning behind their words or actions. However, the lines "Out of turn, I'm out of turn" suggest that the singer may feel like they've overstepped their boundaries or spoken when they shouldn't have. The repetition of "I'm sorry" at the end of the song reinforces this sense of regret and remorse.
Overall, the lyrics to I'm Sorry seem to reflect the confusion and vulnerability of the singer, as well as their desire for honesty and clarity in their relationships.
