Camouflage
Selena Gomez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dead-end streets and boulevards
You threw in the towel, I broke your heart
But there's a first time for everything
Who would've thought you'd feel so cold
And all these memories seem so old
To think you were my everything

Remember when we'd talk all night
But time ain't easy on us, how can love die?

I got so much shit to say
But I can't help feeling like I'm camouflage
Fortress around my heart
You were mine just yesterday
Now I have no idea who you are
It's like you camouflage

But it's good to see you here again
I don't wanna say goodbye
But it's about half past ten
And I have to catch my ride

Riding alone on the four-oh-five
And life's so fragile, it's like I could cry
If that's the last time I'd see you again
But I'll never tell you just how I felt
You might just not care, and it might just not help
What if the feelings just don't make no sense to you, you

Remember when we'd talk all night
Time ain't easy on us, how can love die?

I got so much shit to say
But I can't help feeling like I'm camouflage
Fortress around my heart
You were mine just yesterday
Now I have no idea who you are
It's like you camouflage

But it's good to see you here again
I don't wanna say goodbye
But it's about half past ten
And I have to catch my ride

I got so much shit to say
But I can't help feeling like I'm camouflage
Fortress around my heart
You were mine just yesterday
Now I have no idea who you are
It's like you camouflage

But it's good to see you here again
I don't wanna say goodbye




But it's about half past ten
And I have to catch my ride

Overall Meaning

Selena Gomez's song Camouflage speaks about the pain of losing someone you thought was the one for you. The lyrics paint a picture of a person whose heart has been broken and whose once close relationship has been replaced with indifference and distance. The first verse begins with the singer admitting that their relationship has come to a dead-end and how they thought their partner was the love of their life, only to realize that they were never meant to be together. It reflects the sadness and loneliness they feel, how fragile life can be and how it can make them emotional.


In the chorus, the singer speaks about feeling invisible or being unnoticed with the phrase "feeling like I'm camouflage, fortress around my heart." These lines speak about the protective walls they have put around themselves to protect their heart from being hurt again. They remember the good times they had with their partner, how they used to talk all night, but now they feel like they are strangers to one another. The song speaks of how difficult it is to let go of someone who was once dear to them and how hard it is to express their emotions when they are not sure how the other person feels.
