Versailles Versailles
Naptaker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wonder if it hurts
And I wonder
Would things be different
If I could say the right words
I know it's hard
But, fuck, I'm trying
Why aren't you
I thought that this is what you wanted
Because you told me that it was
If you were just talking
Wish you'd kept your mouth shut
I know it's hard
But, fuck, I'm trying
Why aren't you
Why aren't you
I know it's hard
But, fuck, I'm trying
Why aren't you
Why aren't you
I know it's hard
But, fuck, I'm trying
Why aren't you
Why aren't you
The lyrics to Naptaker.'s song "Versailles Versailles" explore the theme of distance and miscommunication in a relationship. The singer acknowledges their own shortcomings and expresses frustration at their partner's lack of effort to bridge the gap between them. They wonder if their partner is hurt by the distance and question if things would be different if they could find the right words to say.
The singer's feelings of trying and putting in effort are evident throughout the song. They express a strong desire for their partner to also make an effort in the relationship. The repetition of the lines "I know it's hard, but fuck, I'm trying / Why aren't you?" highlights the singer's frustration and emphasizes the lack of reciprocity in the relationship.
The mentioning of Versailles in the title and chorus of the song adds a symbolic layer to the lyrics. Versailles is often associated with opulence, grandeur, and extravagance. The singer may be using it as a metaphor for their relationship, suggesting that it started with high expectations and promises of something great, but has since become distant and unfulfilling.
Overall, "Versailles Versailles" conveys the emotions of frustration, longing, and a sense of longing for better communication and connection within a relationship.

I know that I've been distant
I am aware that I have been emotionally distant from you
I wonder if it hurts
I am curious if my distance has caused you pain
And I wonder
In addition, I am pondering
Would things be different if I could say the right words
I speculate if our situation would improve if I were able to express myself better
I know it's hard
I acknowledge that it is difficult
But, fuck, I'm trying
However, despite the challenge, I am genuinely exerting effort
Why aren't you
Why are you not doing the same?
I thought that this is what you wanted
I believed that this is what you desired
Because you told me that it was
Since you explicitly conveyed that it is
If you were just talking
If your words were merely empty statements
Wish you'd kept your mouth shut
I wish you had refrained from speaking at all
I know it's hard
I understand that it is challenging
But, fuck, I'm trying
However, despite the difficulties, I am sincerely putting in effort
Why aren't you
Why are you not doing the same?
I know it's hard
I acknowledge that it is difficult
But, fuck, I'm trying
However, despite the challenge, I am genuinely exerting effort
Why aren't you
Why are you not doing the same?
I know it's hard
I acknowledge that it is difficult
But, fuck, I'm trying
However, despite the challenge, I am genuinely exerting effort
Why aren't you
Why are you not doing the same?

I know that I’ve been distant
I wonder if it hurts
And I wonder, would things be different
If I could say the right words?
I know it’s hard
But fuck, I’m trying
Why aren’t you?
Why aren’t you?
I thought that this is what you wanted
Because you told me that it was
If you were just talking
Wish you kept your mouth shut
I know it’s hard
But fuck, I’m trying
Why aren’t you?
Why aren’t you? (x3)
