Signs
Ori Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

First time I saw you I was drunk AF
Your face had melted
You were wearing black
You stood like a peacock outside of the club
I said hello and you said and you said WTF
How I missed all
The warning signs, all
The warning signs, all
The warning signs, all
How I missed all
the warning signs, all
The warning signs, all
The warning signs
All
Seven years later, Berlin
I'm drunk again  
You're sitting next to me at the bar
Telling me you don't remember who I am
That was your first lie of many
And after that you saw me live and you became a fan
You told me you would make me big, I was your golden egg
Oh no
Now you
Pretend like you're my friend
Selling me on it
Used my innocence
Oh no
No way
I'm stuck with you till death
I've should've listened to my heart while i've still had a chance
How I missed all
The warning signs, all
The warning signs, all
The warning signs, all
How I missed all
The warning signs, all
The warning signs, all




The warning signs
All

Overall Meaning

In the first verse, the lyrics depict a moment where the singer first sees someone while being intoxicated. The person's appearance seems distorted, with their face melted. They are dressed in black and stand out like a peacock outside of a club. The singer greets the person, but they respond with surprise and annoyance. The repetition of "How I missed all the warning signs" suggests that the singer did not notice the indications that this person may not be trustworthy or compatible.


Moving on to the second verse, the lyrics jump ahead seven years to a scene in Berlin. The singer finds themselves drunk again, and the mentioned person is sitting next to them at a bar. Interestingly, this person claims not to remember the singer's identity, which is the first of many lies they tell. However, they become a fan of the singer's work after seeing them perform live. They promise to help the singer achieve success, referring to them as a "golden egg." But the lyrics reveal that this person is now pretending to be a friend, taking advantage of the singer's innocence and using them for their own gain.


The repetition of "Oh no" indicates the singer's realization of the situation they are now in. They feel trapped with this person until death, as they should have listened to their heart and recognized the warning signs earlier. The lyrics convey a sense of regret, highlighting the singer's failure to recognize the signs of manipulation and deceit.


Overall, the lyrics in "Signs" explore the theme of missed opportunities to recognize warning signs in relationships. The imagery of intoxication and distortion symbolizes the blurred perception the singer had when encountering this person. The repetition of the warning signs emphasizes the singer's realization of their oversight and the consequences they now face. It serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of trusting one's instincts and recognizing red flags in personal relationships.
