Samantha 7 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Noooooo, i see you walkin away
Don't go, i didn't mean it
Now it's too late

I know i said i'd never do it again
I didn't know she was one of your friends
I told her no, she didn't listen
She forced herself down on me

Chorus
I was framed
But she dont' believe me
I was framed
But she don't believe me
I was framed
But she don't believe me
I was framed
But she don't believe me

She had a comb, but she said it was a knife
I was alone, and i was too scared to put up a fight

I know i said i'd never do it again
I didn't know she was one of your friends
I told her no, she didn't listen
She forced herself down on me

Chorus

And her father don't believe me
And her mother don't believe me
Her friends dont' believe me
I'm a victim!

Chorus

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Samantha 7's "Framed" describe a situation where the singer is falsely accused of infidelity and is pleading with their significant other not to leave. The verses explain that the singer did not willingly cheat on their partner, but was forced into the situation by the advances of another woman who is a friend of the partner. Despite the singer's protestations, the partner does not believe their innocence and leaves, causing the singer to feel victimized and alone.

The song touches on themes of trust, betrayal, and victimhood, as the singer is caught up in something they did not intend and are suffering as a result. The use of the word "framed" in the chorus suggests that the singer is being set up or falsely accused, adding to the sense of injustice and helplessness. The description of the woman as having a comb that was mistaken for a knife adds to the feeling of danger and vulnerability that the singer experienced in the situation.
