HE SAID SHE SAID
Social Code Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He bought tickets to a show
The curtains were drawn, the lights were on, the story he didn't know
She was a foreign film about
Love, mistrust and doubt
He tried to change and rearrange and now he wanted out
[Chorus:]
Shot down he could never take it
He said that she never believes him at all
It's the story of my life
She said he would never make it
Shot down he could never take it
He said that she never believes him at all
It's the story of my life
The plot had many holes
And the jokes were getting old
He tried to leave and for some reason he came back wanting more
He wasted so much time
He could never get it right
He tried to change and rearrange and now he wanted out
[Chorus:]
(He said) She said he would never make it
Shot down he could never take it
He said that she never believes him at all
It's the story of my life
She said he would never make it
Shot down he could never take it
He said that she never believes him at all
It's the story of my life
I was never good enough
I could never be what you wanted
I'm gonna die trying
So just kill me now
I was never good enough
I was never gonna make it
I'm gonna die trying
So just kill me now
[Chorus:]
(He said) She said he would never make it
Shot down he could never take it
He said that she never believes him at all
It's the story of my life
She said he would never make it
Shot down he could never take it
He said that she never believes him at all
It's the story of my life
Shot down he could never take it
She said he would never make it

The song "He Said She Said" by Social Code describes a tumultuous relationship where the couple is constantly fighting and criticizing each other. The lyrics demonstrate a lack of trust and belief in one another. The first verse sets the narrative, as the male protagonist buys tickets to a show without knowing the plot or storyline. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for his relationship, where he is blindly moving forward without knowing what’s going to happen. The singer tries to manipulate the plot, but ultimately, his efforts to change the story fail, and he wants to get out of the relationship.
The chorus repeats the same lines, "She said he would never make it, shot down he could never take it, he said that she never believes him at all, it's the story of my life." This repetition emphasizes the lack of trust and the feeling of being trapped in a relationship that is full of criticism and pessimism. The second verse establishes that the relationship has lost its novelty and has become unfulfilling. Even though the singer tries really hard, he cannot seem to get it right, and once again, he wants to leave.
The bridge is a lament where the male protagonist expresses his feelings of inadequacy and failure. He feels like he was never good enough, and no matter how hard he tries, he will never be able to fulfill his partner's expectations. The song ends with the repetition of the same lines from the chorus, emphasizing the circular nature of the relationship and the feeling of hopelessness that comes with it.
