Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look how all the tables have turned
Guess you're finally realizing how bad you messed it up
Girl, you're only makin'
Girl, you're only makin' it worse
When you called like you always do when you want someone
You took away a year of my fuckin' life
So when I see those tears
Comin' out your eyes
I hope it's me they're for
You didn't love when you had me
But now, you need me so badly
You can't be serious (ha-ha-ha)
That's hilarious (ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Thinkin' I would still want you
After the things you put me through
Yeah, you're delirious (ha-ha-ha)
That's hilarious (ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Now you put the blame in (now you put the blame in)
Now you put the blame in reverse
Tryna make me feel guilty for everything you've done
You're another lesson (you're another lesson)
You're just another lesson I learned
Don't give your heart to a girl who's still got a broken one
You took away a year of my fuckin' life (took away a year)
And I can't get it back no more
So when I see those tears (when I see those tears)
Comin' out your eyes
I hope it's me they're for
You didn't love when you had me
But now, you need me so badly
You can't be serious (ha-ha-ha)
That's hilarious (ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Thinkin' I would still want you
After the things you put me through
Yeah, you're delirious (ha-ha-ha, you're delirious)
That's hilarious (ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, that's hilarious)
You didn't love when you had me
But now, you need me so badly
You can't be serious (you can't be serious) (ha-ha-ha)
That's hilarious (that's hilarious) (ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Thinkin' I would still want you (oh, no, oh, oh)
After the things you put me through
Yeah, you're delirious (you're delirious) (ha-ha-ha)
That's hilarious (that's hilarious) (ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
The lyrics to No and the Maybes' song "Hilarious" depict a situation where the tables have turned in a relationship, with the singer finally realizing how badly they messed up. The song addresses a girl who only reaches out when she wants someone, highlighting her manipulative tendencies. The singer expresses their frustration, stating that this person took away a significant amount of time from their life and that it can never be regained. Despite the girl crying, the singer hopes those tears are not for them, suggesting that they have moved on and no longer desire a connection with this manipulative individual.
The lyrics emphasize the irony of the situation, as the girl did not appreciate the singer's love when they were together but now desperately needs them. The singer finds this amusing and cannot take it seriously. They mock the girl, laughing at the absurdity of her thinking that they would still want her in their life after the pain and suffering she caused. The singer recognizes that they have learned a valuable lesson, warning others not to give their heart to someone who is still nursing their own broken heart.
As the song continues, the singer confronts the girl for trying to shift the blame onto them, attempting to make them feel guilty for everything that has happened. The singer sees through this manipulation and identifies it as just another lesson learned. They reveal the importance of not allowing oneself to be vulnerable to someone who is still carrying the burden of their own past heartbreak.
In conclusion, "Hilarious" portrays a narrative of empowerment and growth. The singer recognizes the hurtful actions and manipulations they experienced in the relationship, ultimately finding strength in moving on and not allowing themselves to be dragged back in. The lyrics highlight the ironic nature of the situation and mock the delusion of the person who harmed them. Through this song, No and the Maybes encourage listeners to learn from their own experiences and not to tolerate mistreatment in relationships.
