Why
Oppera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and why the alibi when you know that you don't care
so why waste the time and play this game that isn't fair
why don't you just stay away from me
you must be undercover always hiding what you do
when i say your name it doesn't really sound like you
the stories that you tell me never end the same way twice
so if i seem to be a million miles away
then please just answer me why do you act this way
cause if your heart isn't something i can own
then do us both a favor and leave me alone
why say you're mine when you're never ever there
and why the alibi when you know that you don't care
so why waste the time and play this game that isn't fair
why don't you just stay away from me
everyday i wonder as you come back through the door
who are you this time and can i take this anymore
it used to be so different i don't know what made you change
i was always stable now you got me acting strange
why say you're mine when you're never ever there
and why the alibi when you know that you don't care
so why waste the time and play this game that isn't fair
why don't you just stay away from me
why say you're mine when you're never ever there
and why the alibi when you know that you don't care
so why waste the time and play this game that isn't fair
why don't you just stay away from me
all around a cloud surrounds you
hiding your reality
up is down and down's about you
don't you just stay away from me
you leave a bad impression
please answer the question
don't act like i'm mistaken
i know that you've been fakin'
how could you do the things you do
to make me say
why say you're mine when you're never ever there
and why the alibi when you know that you don't care
so why waste the time and play this game that isn't fair
why don't you just stay away from me
all around a cloud surrounds you
hiding your reality
up is down and down's about you
don't you just stay away from me
why say you're mine when you're never ever there
and why the alibi when you know that you don't care
so why waste the time and play this game that isn't fair
why don't you just stay away from me
all around a cloud surrounds you
hiding your reality
up is down and down's about you
don't you just stay away from me
The song "Why" by Oppera is about a relationship that is not working out, as the person singing the song is feeling neglected and unloved. The lyrics express frustration towards the other person, questioning why they say they are theirs but are never there for them. The recurring phrase "why say you're mine when you're never ever there" emphasizes the singer's confusion and resentment. The person they're singing to is described as someone who is hiding something, with stories that never end the same way twice, and whose love feels "cold as ice."
The mood of the song is somber, with a sense of desperation and the desire for closure. The singer is tired of the games and wants the person to stay away from them if they cannot reciprocate their feelings. The use of phrases such as "up is down and down's about you" and "hiding your reality" depict a sense of disorientation and instability caused by the other person's behavior.
Overall, "Why" by Oppera is a poignant and relatable song about the frustrations and heartaches of a relationship that is not working out.
