Untitled
Rex Orange County Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it feels like she's the only one
That hears the things I say
So if for any reason there's some miscommunication
Or I'm lying to her face
My immaturity and habits gettin' in the way
'Cause I can barely breathe
And I don't know how I'll explain myself this time
But why can't I be any other boy
That doesn't need a hand in love?
Someone that I would trust
But how did I fail
To give you all the love that you deserve?
When you're the only thing that's worth
What life is worth
And I don't mind if you hate me
'Cause baby, if I were you
I would probably hate me too
I said that I don't mind if you hate me
'Cause baby, if I were you
I would probably hate me too
Rex Orange County is known for his honest and vulnerable lyrics, and "Untitled" is a perfect example of this. The song delves into the struggles of a complicated relationship, where the singer feels like they are the only one making mistakes and causing miscommunications. The song is a heartfelt apology to the singer's partner, where they express their regrets and take responsibility for their immaturity and habits getting in the way of the relationship. The line "I don't know how I'll explain myself this time" is especially poignant, as it reveals the singer's vulnerability and uncertainty about where the relationship is headed.
At the heart of the song is the idea that the singer doesn't feel worthy of their partner's love. They express envy towards "any other boy that doesn't need a hand in love," and question how they failed to give their partner the love they deserve. The chorus serves as a confession of sorts, with the singer admitting that they wouldn't blame their partner for hating them because they would probably hate themselves in their position. It's a powerful moment of self-reflection and accountability, as the singer takes responsibility for their own faults in the relationship.
Overall, "Untitled" is a raw and emotional song that showcases Rex Orange County's introspective songwriting. The lyrics paint a picture of a complicated relationship where both parties struggle to communicate and find common ground. By taking responsibility for their actions and admitting their faults, the singer showcases a level of emotional maturity that is often missing in modern pop music.

I make enough mistakes
I tend to err too much
And it feels like she's the only one
I feel like she's the only person who can understand me
That hears the things I say
She's the only person who truly listens to me
So if for any reason there's some miscommunication
If there is an instance of misunderstanding
Or I'm lying to her face
Or if I'm being dishonest to her in person
My immaturity and habits gettin' in the way
My lack of experience and personal habits impede my relationship with her
'Cause I can barely breathe
I feel suffocated in this relationship
And I don't know how I'll explain myself this time
I'm uncertain of how to justify my actions this time around
Wish it wasn't a case of, 'This time'
I wish this wasn't a recurring issue between us
But why can't I be any other boy
I wonder why I can't be a different kind of person
That doesn't need a hand in love?
Someone who doesn't require assistance in romantic matters
Someone that I would trust
Someone I can rely on
But how did I fail
I don't understand how I messed up
To give you all the love that you deserve?
To show you the love that you rightfully deserve
When you're the only thing that's worth
You're the only person that truly matters in my life
What life is worth
You give meaning to my life
And I don't mind if you hate me
It doesn't bother me if you dislike me
'Cause baby, if I were you
Because if I were you
I would probably hate me too
I would most likely hate myself as well
I said that I don't mind if you hate me
I want her to know that her opinion of me won't affect our relationship
'Cause baby, if I were you
Because if I were you
I would probably hate me too
I would most likely hate myself as well

The pain and comfort this song ensues in my being is beyond words...
To anyone who this song reaches, no matter how broken YOU are, or how destroyed you feel you have left things..don’t give up. On anything. Hope for it to get better, and fight to make sure it does.
I’m not there yet myself, but I believe I will be.
Sincerely,
A very broken soul.
