Friday The 13Th
Ten Years Later Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I Don't Know If I'm Right Or Wrong, But I Didn't Do
Can't Relate To Ability, So Much Space And Room In Me
All The Things That I Can't Believe, All The Things That I Can't Conceive
Trouble Mounting, Under The Sea

There's Thoughts That I Can Find, Hidden Deep Inside My Mind
Seems That Everything I Saw
Are Just Memories Left Behind Me Now

I Can't Live With Reality
Cut My Chains And Set Me Free
Try To Lose Everything I'm Told
I Don't Buy, Everything I've Sold
Till , I'll Be Passing By
All The Pain, And All The Strife
Trouble Mounting, Friday 13

Those Memories Seem So Tall
When I To Learn Them All
Wished That




Are Just , Call On Me
It's Friday On The 13thย !

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ten Years Later's song "Friday the 13th" seem to convey a sense of confusion, both about the singer's own feelings and about the world around them. The opening lines express a lack of certainty: "I Don't Know If I'm Right Or Wrong, But I Didn't Do." This could suggest that the singer is grappling with a specific situation in which they are unsure if they have made the right decision. It could also imply a more general sense of uncertainty in their life as a whole.


The second verse begins with the line: "There's Thoughts That I Can Find, Hidden Deep Inside My Mind." This could indicate that the confusion the singer is experiencing is due at least in part to their own internal struggles. The line "Seems That Everything I Saw / Are Just Memories Left Behind Me Now" could suggest that the singer feels disconnected from their own past, or that they are struggling to reconcile their present reality with their memories of the past.


The chorus expresses a desire to break free from the singer's current reality: "Cut My Chains And Set Me Free / Try To Lose Everything I'm Told / I Don't Buy, Everything I've Sold." It seems as though the singer is searching for some kind of truth or authenticity that they feel is missing from their life. The final line "It's Friday On the 13th!" is repeated several times throughout the song, adding a sense of foreboding or unease to the overall mood.

Lorenzo Ripani & The Rockin Daddys

Not sure-I see the lyrics on A lee website but I hear:
"I don't know if I'm right or wrong, All I do is drift along.
Cant relate to infinity, so much space and room in me.
All the things that I cant believe, all the things that people see.
Trouble mounting, under the sea."
(Alvin's past lyrics quite often mentions the word infinity, so my ears hear infinity and not 'ability'
