Ex
RVRB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And, honestly, I though it was my plan
You know I needed time
You know I'm scared
But you act like I was never even there
Who knows what you're telling all your friends
But they don't really get you like I did
I'm fighting all these demons in my head
And now you're talking ecstasy
Like I would't hear a thing
And I'm trying to believe
That what we had was something
And now you're on your ectasy
Riding in the in-between
And everybody knows it's me
Everybody knows it's me
Don't blame it all on me
You're spilling all the secrets that we shared
Reminds me why I never really share
Taking shots at me because you can
I'm texting JL, so I understand
I know that I was wrong to leave you there
But I was trying to find out who I am
(But you'll never know who I really am)
(Nah, you won't understand)
And now you're talking ecstasy
Like I would't hear a thing
And I'm trying to believe
That what we had was something
And now you're on your ectasy
Riding in the in-between
And everybody knows it's me
Everybody knows it's me
Don't
Don't blame it on me
Don't blame it all on me
Don't blame it all on me, oh
Oh, oh, oh
The lyrics of RVRB's song "ex" explore the aftermath of a failed relationship. The singer admits to breaking their promise of being there for their ex-partner, but also emphasizes how scared they were of the commitment. The ex-partner is now talking about their new experiences with drugs and partying, while also betraying the singer's trust by sharing their secrets. However, the singer still believes that their past relationship was special, and that their ex-partner is now lost in a world of temporary pleasure. The song ends with the singer asking their ex not to put all the blame on them, as both parties played a role in the relationship's downfall.
The lyrics of "ex" can be interpreted as a message to anyone who has struggled in a romantic relationship. The singer is honest about their fears of commitment and the mixed messages they sent to their ex-partner, but they still hold on to the idea that their connection was deep and meaningful. Meanwhile, the ex-partner is portrayed as someone who is trying to fill a void with drugs and partying, ultimately leading to their own self-destruction. Throughout the song, there is a sense of regret and reflection on both sides, as both parties search for answers and closure.

So many comments saying shit about how he’s living his life and doing his art. Have you ever thought about that people change and grow up? Because I’m sure you’re not the same person you were in 2011 and the same happened to him. Respect
