logical
Olivia Rodrigo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Master manipulator
God, you're so good at what you do
Come for me like a savior
And I'd put myself through hell for you
Hear all the rumors lately
That you always denied

And I fell for you like water
Falls from the February sky
But now the current's stronger
And I couldn't get out if I tried
But you convinced me, baby
It was all in my mind
And now you got me thinking

Two plus two equals five
And I'm the love of your life
'Cause if rain don't pour and sun don't shine
Then changin' you is possible
No, love is never logical

You built a giant castle
With walls so high, I couldn't see
The way it all unraveled
And all the things you did to me
You lied, you lied, you lied
Oh
And now you got me thinkin'

Two plus two equals five
And I'm the love of your life
'Cause if rain don't pour and sun don't shine
Then changin' you is possible
I guess love is never logical

The sky is green, the grass is red
And you mean all those words you said
I'm sure that girl is really your friend
Our problems are all solvable
'Cause lovin' you is lovin' every

Argument you held over my head
Brought up the girls you could have instead
Said I was too young, I was too soft
Can't take a joke, can't get you off
Oh, why do I do this?
I look so stupid thinkin'

Two plus two equals five
And I'm the love of your life
'Cause if rain don't pour and sun don't shine
Then changin' you is possible
No, love is never logical

Logical, logical, love is never logical
I know I'm half responsible and that makes me feel horrible

Oh, logical, logical, love is never logical
I know I could've stopped it all, God, why didn't I stop it all?

Oh, logical, logical, love is never logical
I know I'm half responsible and that makes me feel horrible




Oh, logical, logical, love is never logical
I know I could've stopped it all, God, why didn't I stop it all?

Overall Meaning

In "deja vu," Olivia Rodrigo explores the theme of deception and manipulation within a romantic relationship. The lyrics convey the singer's realization that they have been caught up in a toxic dynamic, where their partner has taken advantage of their love and trust. The opening lines, "Master manipulator, God, you're so good at what you do," highlight the manipulative skills of the partner, while the following line, "Come for me like a savior, I'd put myself through hell for you," speaks to the singer's willingness to sacrifice themselves for the relationship.


The lyrics express how the singer ignored the rumors and lies surrounding their partner, falling for them deeply. The line, "But now the current's stronger, And I couldn't get out if I tried," reflects the singer's feeling of being trapped in the relationship despite their growing awareness of the manipulation. The partner convinces them that it's all in their mind, creating a sense of confusion and self-doubt.


The chorus emphasizes the illogical nature of love in this context. The line, "Two plus two equals five," suggests that the singer has been fooled into believing things that are untrue, while "I'm the love of your life" questions the sincerity of the partner's affection. The singer acknowledges that love isn't always rational and expresses the hope that they can change the situation, represented by the line, "Then changin' you is possible, No, love is never logical."


Throughout the rest of the song, the singer reflects on how they were blinded by love and unable to see the true nature of the relationship. The metaphor of a castle with high walls symbolizes the partner's emotional barriers that prevent the singer from witnessing the manipulation. The repetition of "you lied" expresses the anger and betrayal felt by the singer upon discovering the truth.


Overall, "deja vu" explores the emotional roller coaster of being in a manipulative relationship and the realization that love alone cannot justify or fix the toxic dynamics at play.
