Mess
Skiddalz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You said I couldn't clean this up all by myself
Sitting in this mess you left
Trying to find myself
If these four walls could talk
They'd kiss and tell
Here's a penny for your thoughts
I wish you well
And then you
Take me, in your arms
You know we, should know better
Don't we, always end up lonely?
By now you should know
Trying hard to forget about you
The moment I feel your kiss
I begin to care less
Lately I'm my best without you
I hate when I get like this
Basically I'm a mess
(Doo, be, doo, doo, doo, do)
(Doo, be, doo, doo, doo, do)
(Doo, be, doo, doo, doo, do)
Basically I'm a mess
Heard you're looking for something to do
That stupid show you like
I started watching it too
Every time you leave the room
You know I'll pause it for you
And Season 2 ends when you
Take me, in your arms
You know we, should know better
Don't we, always end up lonely?
By now you should know
Trying hard to forget about you
The moment I feel your kiss
I begin to care less
Lately I'm my best without you
I hate when I get like this
Basically I'm a mess
(Doo, be, doo, doo, doo, do)
(Doo, be, doo, doo, doo, do)
(Doo, be, doo, doo, doo, do)
Basically
If you're gonna break my heart, then break it
If we're gonna shake things up, let's shake it
When it feels good like this, can't fake it
Every time you take me there, I can't take it
If you're gonna break my heart, then break it
If we're gonna shake things up, let's shake it
When it feels good like this, can't fake it
Every time you take me there, I can't take it
Can you keep me
In your heart, and hold me
To your body closely
Tell me that you won't leave
By now I should know
Promise I won't forget about you
Moments like this I miss
I can still feel your kiss
Figuring out what's next without you




Pretend that you don't exist
How did we get like this?

Overall Meaning

In Skiddalz's song Mess, the lyrics express the struggle of trying to move on from a past relationship, but still feeling emotionally attached to the person. The first verse sets the scene of being left in a mess that the ex-partner has caused, both literally and figuratively. The line, "If these four walls could talk, they'd kiss and tell," suggests that the memories of their time together are still present in the physical space. The line "Trying to find myself" implies that the singer is trying to gain a sense of identity outside of the relationship.


The chorus repeats the phrase "Trying hard to forget about you" but then contradicts it by expressing how the singer feels happy when they are with their ex, making it difficult to move on. The lyrics "Basically, I'm a mess" sum up their emotional state of feeling conflicted and unsure about the future.


In the second verse, the mention of watching a TV show that the ex likes suggests that the singer has maintained some level of contact with them. The line "Every time you leave the room, you know I'll pause it for you" demonstrates how the singer is still considerate of their ex's interests and comfort.


The bridge of the song proposes that the singer is willing to accept the chaos of the relationship if the ex-partner is genuine and committed to them. The repetition of the lines "If you're gonna break my heart, then break it / If we're gonna shake things up, let's shake it" displays the singer's willingness to take risks with the person they still love.


Overall, Mess portrays the emotional uncertainty of trying to move on from a relationship when feelings of attachment are still present.
