No Offense
Slutever Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I'd been in your shoes
I don't think I would've choosed
To do anything I knew you couldn't bare
Now if it were up to me
You'd be swallowed by the sea
And you'd never ever come back up for air
I don't mean no offense
But your life's a fucking mess

And I'm overtired of calling you my friend
You're unemployed and bored
More and more, I'm pretty sure
That I'm happy that you couldn't hold your end
Ooh
I came here for my bearings
And I left with understanding
Why you're gradually ending up more on your own
You look just like a sheep
For someone with such sharp teeth

After all this time, your cover's finally blown
Oooh

Line by Line Meaning

If I'd been in your shoes
If I were in your position

I don't think I would've choosed
I wouldn't have made the same choices

To do anything I knew you couldn't bare
To do anything I knew you couldn't handle

Now if it were up to me
If the decision were mine

You'd be swallowed by the sea
You'd be completely gone

And you'd never ever come back up for air
You'd be gone forever with no chance of recovery

I don't mean no offense
I don't mean to offend you

But your life's a fucking mess
But your life is a disaster

And I'm overtired of calling you my friend
And I'm tired of referring to you as my friend

You're unemployed and bored
You're jobless and lack ambition

More and more, I'm pretty sure
Increasingly, I'm confident
