Tonight I Just Don't Care I'm Having a Candy Dinner
Rory Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a wish it was a minor set back
The situation grew so stale
A compromise wasn't established yet
You got the sharp end of the nail

So let's keep in mind the substance that you build
Another lover's qualm that never got it's fill of anything

She said allusion's so sweet with your candy I smile
You're looking so sweet with your candy I smile
You're looking so sweet

Red suspicions have been running round for days (running around for days)
You got the best of everything
You never wanted
When you'd take what you can get
And hope for the best of this
We have to give this one more try

Whoa

Unexpected and so deceiving
You always seemed to make me smile
I can't believe I never figured you out
Or knew so it took me a while

But I kept in mind the substance that you built
Another lover's qualm that I can do without

She said allusion's so sweet with your candy I smile
You're looking so sweet with your candy I smile
Allusion's so sweet with your candy I smile
Allusion's so sweet

Red suspicions have been running round for days (running around for days)
You got the best of everything
You never wanted
When you'd take what you can get
And hope for the best of this
We have to give this one more try

Whoa

She's had this feeling for a long time now
She's had this feeling that she wanted more
She's had this feeling for a long time now
She's had this feeling and she hated it oh so

How long will I wait here (how long will I wait here)
With you in mind
How long will I wait here (how long will I wait here)
With you in mind (in mind)

Red suspicions have been running round for days
You got the best of everything
When you'd take what you can get
And hope for the best of this
We have to give this one more try

So let it go
So let it go
So let it go
So let it go
So let it go
So let it go
So let it go

So let me

Overall Meaning

break down the meaning of the lyrics to Rory's song "Tonight I Just Don't Care, I'm Having a Candy Dinner". The song appears to be about a challenging relationship where one partner is feeling unfulfilled and unsatisfied. The first verse suggests that there was a disagreement, and the situation has become stagnant. The second verse speaks to the idea of deception, with the singer singing about how they were misled by their partner. Despite this, the singer is still holding on and willing to give it one more try.

The chorus repeats the line "she said allusions so sweet with your candy I smile" which could suggest that the singer's partner is using material things to mask deeper issues in the relationship. It's also worth noting the line "Red suspicions have been running around for days", which implies that the singer has some doubts about their partner's fidelity.

In the bridge, we hear yet again how the singer is feeling unfulfilled and is waiting for something more, but they're not quite sure what it is. There's a sense of confusion and uncertainty throughout the song. Overall, the song is about the difficulty of maintaining a relationship when issues of trust and fulfillment arise.

Line by Line Meaning

It's a wish it was a minor set back
I wish it was just a small obstacle

The situation grew so stale
The situation became boring and unfulfilling

A compromise wasn't established yet
We haven't found a middle ground yet

You got the sharp end of the nail
You got the short end of the stick

So let's keep in mind the substance that you build
Let's remember what you've accomplished so far

Another lover's qualm that never got it's fill of anything
It's another issue in a relationship that was never resolved

She said allusion's so sweet with your candy I smile
She thinks your flattery is amusing

You're looking so sweet with your candy I smile
You're being charming and it's making me happy

Red suspicions have been running round for days (running around for days)
I've had a nagging suspicion for a while now

You got the best of everything
You always come out on top

You never wanted
You didn't care

When you'd take what you can get
You settled for less

And hope for the best of this
And hoped things would work out

We have to give this one more try
We should try again

Unexpected and so deceiving
You were unexpected and misleading

You always seemed to make me smile
You always managed to cheer me up

I can't believe I never figured you out
I can't believe I never understood your true intentions

Or knew so it took me a while
It took me a while to realize

Another lover's qualm that I can do without
It's another relationship issue that I don't want to deal with

She's had this feeling for a long time now
She's been feeling this way for a while

She's had this feeling that she wanted more
She feels like she deserves more

She's had this feeling and she hated it oh so
She hates feeling this way so much

How long will I wait here (how long will I wait here)
How much longer do I have to wait?

With you in mind
Thinking about you

So let it go
Forget about it

So let me
Let me handle it
