I
The Attack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Seeing everyone's true face
Makes me wish they would keep their masks on
'Cause I don't wanna know, who you really are
I thought you would have learned your lesson by now

Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
True face exposed
Dark motives in the mind
Was listening too scary for you?
You haven't changed, you never will (you never will)

You and I will never be the same
You say you try, but you never change
You can hide, and say you're not to blame
I thought you have learned your lesson by now

I was wrong
Something in me still has love for you
I don't know why
Everyone is not as good as they seem
Trust in me, trust in me

I never knew that lying came so natural to you
'Cause I can't bear to see, the man you're gonna be
I thought you would have learned your lesson by now

You and I will never be the same (whoa)
You say you try, but you never change
You can hide, and say you're not to blame (whoa)
I thought you would have learned your lesson by now

You and I will never be the same (whoa)
You say you try, but you never change




You can hide, and say you're not to blame (whoa)
I thought you have learned your lesson by now

Overall Meaning

The first verse talks about the singer's wish for people to keep their masks on, implying that people are wearing masks to hide their true selves. The chorus highlights the fact that the singer believed that people would learn their lesson and become truthful over time. However, he was wrong as he sees people's "true face" and "dark motives" are exposed, leaving him to wish they would stay hidden.


The second verse emphasizes that the singer and the other person will never be the same, indicating that the singer has lost trust in that person. He also acknowledges that the person has not changed despite their promises to do so, which further damages the trust. In the bridge, the singer reveals that he still harbors love in his heart for the person, despite everything. The final chorus repeats the message from the earlier chorus, emphasizing the fact that the singer thought the person should have learned their lesson by now.
