Friend
Raelyn Nelson Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't wanna be your friend
Can a window open if I slam the door
I don't wanna be your friend
You can't stand me and I hate you now
I don't wanna be your friend
I might come back around but it's too soon now
I don't wanna be your friend
I may be small but I am pretty strong
There's not a lot of people that I don't get along with
It's different with you and I know what to do
I'm going to find me something new
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be your friend
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be your friend
I don't wanna be your friend
I can't fight you while you're fighting your ego
I won't stand by while you're running the Freakshow
I may be small but I am pretty strong
There's not a lot of people that I don't get along with
It's different with you and I know what to do
I'm going to find me something new
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be your friend
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be your friend
I don't wanna be your friend
Go on
Get up
Get out
Gonna let the good times end
Come on
Suck up
Sell out
Cause I don't wanna be your friend
What's up with you always putting me down NO!
I don't wanna be your friend
I didn't see this coming but I'm gonna have to GO!
I don't wanna be your friend
I may be small but I am pretty strong
There's not a lot of people that I don't get along with
It's different with you and I know what to do
I'm going to find me something new
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be your friend
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be your friend
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be your friend
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be your friend
I don't wanna be your friend
I don't wanna be your friend
The lyrics of Raelyn Nelson Band's song "Friend" express a clear sentiment of wanting to sever a friendship. The singer is no longer interested in being friends with the person they are addressing. The repetition of "I don't wanna be your friend" emphasizes their strong desire to end the relationship. The lyrics suggest that there has been a rift in their friendship, as the singer mentions a window opening if they slam the door and feeling hated and not being able to stand the other person. However, despite this, the singer acknowledges that they may come back around, but it is currently too soon.
The song also highlights the singer's resilience and inner strength. They describe themselves as small but strong and someone who can get along with most people. However, there is something different about this particular friendship that makes it impossible for them to continue. The repeated chorus emphasizes this sentiment, affirming their decision not to be friends.
The song's bridge adds further depth to the emotional turmoil being experienced. The singer acknowledges that they cannot fight with the other person when their ego is in control, and they refuse to tolerate being part of the other person's "Freakshow." The lyrics suggest that the singer has reached their breaking point and has made the decision to find something new, suggesting they will seek out new relationships or experiences.
Overall, "Friend" captures the frustrations and complexities that can arise in friendships. It explores the desire for distance and the need to prioritize one's own well-being when a friendship becomes toxic or unsatisfying.
