Normal Like You Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't wanna listen to your bullshit, anymore
The things you say imbed plastic images
I'm trying but it's hard to ignore
The false accusations you make
The fingers you point at my friends
Why point the finger at all
But it's a steep climb
And it seems that we lose so much more then we'll ever obtain
I can write that song
I'm guilty of blaming too
The drama we cause, all needs to come to an end
If there's only 2 weeks left, can't we put
All of this nonsense behind us
And try to smile a little bit more frequently
The air is stale around you i'm cold
And nobody cares anymore
It's time to tie up those loose ends
If there comes a time to let go
We can take that road
But it's a steep climb
And it seems that we lose so much more then we'll ever obtain
And I can write that song
I'm guilty of blaming too
The drama we cause, all needs to come to an end
We can take that road
But it's a steep climb
It seems that we lose so much more then we'll ever obtain
And I can write that song
I'm guilty of blaming too
The drama we cause, all needs to come to an end
The lyrics of Normal Like You's "A Bitter End to Weeks of..." speak about the end of a tumultuous relationship, weighing the pros and cons of continuing the unhealthy cycle of drama and blame versus cutting ties and moving on. The first verse addresses the frustration of constantly hearing conflicting stories or rumors from others, and how it can create negative, false internal images. The singer acknowledges that it's difficult to ignore these things, but ultimately recognizes that it is the false accusations and blame-gaming that is toxic to the relationship, rather than any specific action.
The chorus presents the dichotomy of two roads: one that is steep and leads to even greater losses than gains, and one that requires letting go of blame and drama in order to move forward. The singer admits their own role in contributing to the drama and recognizes that it needs to come to an end. The second verse emphasizes the feeling of stale air and coldness in the relationship, as if everyone involved has given up on trying to make things work. The singer acknowledges that it's time to tie up loose ends and let go, noting that if the relationship is truly meant to be, it will come back around.
