Homewrecker
Seaway Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know you don't listen to me when you're with him but I hope you know that I won't be ignored. And when you listen to this song and when you see where you went wrong it'll be worth all of the things that you could never afford.

I know it breaks you, whenever he wakes you 'cause it's not me there by your side. With all of the antics and all of the history, I find it funny how you always find a way to pin it all on me.

You know you don't listen to me when you're with him but I hope you know that I won't be ignored. And when you listen to this song and when you see where you went wrong it'll be worth all of the things that you could never afford.

As I try to get up off of the ground you hold on tight and you pull me back down.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Seaway's song Homewrecker speak to the frustration and betrayal felt when a loved one is unfaithful. The singer starts by acknowledging that their partner doesn't listen when they're with the other person, but that they won't be ignored. The second verse delves deeper into the pain, as the singer describes how it hurts to know that their partner is with someone else who is not them. Despite this, their partner somehow manages to blame them for the situation. In the chorus, the singer is almost taunting, asserting that when their partner realizes where they went wrong, it will be satisfying to know that they couldn't buy their way out of their mistakes.

The last line of the song, "As I try to get up off of the ground you hold on tight and you pull me back down," adds a layer of complexity to the situation. It suggests that even though the singer is hurt and frustrated, they can't fully let go of the relationship. It's a relatable feeling - being angry and sad about how things are going, but unable to walk away from someone you care about. Overall, Homewrecker is a song about the messy, painful emotions that come with infidelity and the desire to hold on to something that may not be good for you.
