Robert Ellis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're screaming so loud
Making sure everyone hears what I've done
One of these days after everyone's gone
You'll see that it was better
Just for once, for you to be wrong
You're just a kid inside a grown 'up body
We'll just keep earning every bridge that you walk across
No matter what it costs
No matter who you've lost
You're blaming on the rain
You're blaming on everybody else
You're blaming on the way grew up
You're blaming on everyone
But yourself, why you're so alone?
Why you turn down the way you do?
Honey,you're full grown
But you act just like a kid
Inside a grown-up body
And you don't have to say sorry to nobody
We're just burning every bridge you come across
No matter what it costs
Cause your pride is the only'
You're just a kid inside a grown 'up body
And you don't have to apologize to nobody
We'll just keep burning every bridge that you walk across
No matter what it costs
No matter who you've lost
So long it ain't your folk
Honey, tell me, is it worth it all?
The lyrics to Robert Ellis's song "Pride" seem to be an admonition to someone who refuses to accept blame or apologize for their mistakes. The repetition of the phrase "you're just a kid inside a grown 'up body" suggests that the person being addressed is immature or emotionally stunted in some way. Their unwillingness to accept responsibility for their actions is driving away friends and loved ones, which is hinted at in the line, "no matter who you've lost."
The repeated use of the word "pride" suggests that the person's stubbornness is rooted in a deep-seated sense of arrogance or self-importance. The chorus warns that this pride will ultimately lead to the destruction of all their relationships, as they keep burning bridges and pushing people away. The line, "we'll just keep earning every bridge that you walk across" is particularly poignant, as it suggests that the singer and others have been forced to work hard to build connections with this person, only to have them torn down again and again.
Overall, the song seems to be a plea for the person being addressed to wake up and recognize the harm they are causing through their refusal to admit fault or apologize. It's a reminder that the quest for pride and self-importance can be a lonely road, and that it's often worth it to admit one's mistakes and work to repair relationships before it's too late.

You're too damn proud to say you were wrong
Your arrogance prevents you from admitting your mistakes
You're screaming so loud
You're making noise to ensure that people know of my wrongdoings
Making sure everyone hears what I've done
You want everyone to know that I am the one to be blamed
One of these days after everyone's gone
Someday, when there is no one around, the truth will hit you
You'll see that it was better
You'll realize that being wrong is not that bad after all
Just for once, for you to be wrong
It would be nice for you to be wrong for once
You're just a kid inside a grown 'up body
Your behavior is immature for your age
And you don't have to apologize to nobody
You don't feel the need to apologize to anyone
We'll just keep earning every bridge that you walk across
You keep burning bridges with people you meet
No matter what it costs
Regardless of the consequences
No matter who you've lost
No matter how many people you've hurt or lost
You're blaming on the rain
You're blaming external factors for your problems
You're blaming on everybody else
You're blaming others for your mistakes
You're blaming on the way grew up
You're blaming your upbringing for your behavior
You're blaming on everyone
You're blaming everyone but yourself
But yourself, why you're so alone?
You're alone because of your actions and attitude
Why you turn down the way you do?
Why do you behave so recklessly and irresponsibly?
Honey,you're full grown
You're an adult now, act like one
But you act just like a kid
You continue to act immaturely
Your pride is the only'
Your pride is the only thing that matters to you
So long it ain't your folk
You don't care about anyone else except your own family
Honey, tell me, is it worth it all?
Is it worth hurting others and burning bridges just to satisfy your ego?
