Regrets
Mr.Lou / Dewfall Productions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Clouds my sense of judgement
And I'd give my life to be in bed
Sleeping in forever
I don't expect you to understand
Stepping foot in someones foreign land
And honestly I can't stand
The silence between us now
And I wait for your reply with regret I ever told you
The clock ticks by, I'm sure it's slower than usual
And I wait for your reply with regret I ever told you
Intoxication permitting
I let you have a sit in
On a life so dull and mundane
Yo'll probably never come round here again
I wouldn't blame you
I wouldn't hate you
If you hate me
The lyrics in Mr.Lou/Dewfall Productions' song Regrets talk about the regret and the emotion of being vulnerable and exposing one's true self to another person. The buzzing in the singer's head is clouding his sense of judgment, and he wishes to be sleeping forever. The singer knows that the person he is talking to may not understand the situation, and he feels that he is in a foreign land. The silence between them is deafening, and he wants to break it. He can feel time creeping slowly, waiting for a reply that may or may not come. In the past, the singer's intoxication permitted him to let someone see his dull and mundane life, but he knows that this may be the only time the person might ever come around again. The singer does not blame or hate the person, even if they hate him.
The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability, sadness and longing. The singer seems to be regretting the fact that he opened up to someone, and now he feels alone and isolated. The clock ticking slower than usual conveys a sense of time standing still, and the silence between the two people makes the singer feel even more isolated. Intoxication played a role in the singer's decision to open up, but now he is left with a feeling of regret.

The buzzing in my head
The constant noise in my mind
Clouds my sense of judgement
Affects my ability to make sound decisions
And I'd give my life to be in bed
I wish to escape reality and sleep forever
Sleeping in forever
Forever in a state of sleep and avoiding life's hardships
I don't expect you to understand
I do not believe you can empathize with me
Stepping foot in someones foreign land
Feeling out of place in a new environment
And honestly I can't stand
I cannot bear
The silence between us now
The awkward absence of communication
The clock ticks by, I'm sure it's slower than usual
Time seems to be moving slowly
And I wait for your reply with regret I ever told you
I am filled with remorse for opening up to you and anxiously await your response
Intoxication permitting
Under the influence of a substance that impairs judgement
I let you have a sit in
Allowing you to witness and experience my life
On a life so dull and mundane
A life lacking excitement or adventure
Yo'll probably never come round here again
I will most likely never see you again
I wouldn't blame you
I would not hold you responsible
I wouldn't hate you
I would not develop any animosity towards you
If you hate me
If you end up disliking me
