The Situation
The Black Eyed Peas/www.PorAlbum.Com Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some times I pick the flower
Cause I wanna know
He loves me not
He loves me lot
He's got to go

Not talking bout the dude
That's on the go go go

The situation that we got
Is so much more

You make me laugh
You make me cry
But I want you
Right by my side
And if you go I could die
You bring me low, you bring me high

I build you high
you break me down
And that's story of our situation

You pick me hard
I let you down
And that's story of our situation

My therapist told me that opposites attract
I wish that you was here with opposites attack

You love me then you hate me
What's it going to be

Don't wanna miss the magic
That is you and me

You make me glow
You make me shine
We always fight right on time
And if you go I could die
You bring me low, you bring be high

I build you high
you break me down
And that's story of our situation

You pick me hard
I let you down
And that's story of our situation

Sometimes we don't see each other eye to eye baby
We up and down like a rollcoster ride baby
Sometimes you don't see the way I try baby
I hate the way you make me wanna cry lady
I wanna fly away
sometimes I need a break
The way you treat me made
me wanna go and say
But I can go on
with out you in my arm
I can't resisted the way you used me with your charm

You make me glow
You make me shine
We always fight right on time
And if you go I could die
You bring me low, you bring be high

I build you high
you break me down
And that's story of our situation

You pick me hard
I let you down
And that's story of our situation
I build you high
you break me down
And that's story of our situation

You pick me hard




I let you down
And that's story of our situation

Overall Meaning

The song "The Situation" by The Black Eyed Peas is a melodramatic reflection on a tumultuous relationship. The first stanza can be interpreted as the singer's indecision in the relationship - picking the flower petals "He loves me not / He loves me lot / He's got to go" is a childlike way of asking fate for answers about the relationship's outcome. The situation is not about the dude "on the go go go," indicating that there is more at stake than simply a casual fling. The line "You make me laugh / You make me cry / But I want you / Right by my side / And if you go I could die" speaks of the singer's desperation for the partner, no matter the pain and difficulty they bring. The chorus echoes this sentiment of being torn between extremes, with the repetition of "You bring me low, you bring me high."


The second verse speaks of the singer's struggles with the relationship's ups and downs, stating that they fight "right on time." The line "My therapist told me that opposites attract / I wish that you were here with opposites attack" shows that the singer is aware of the dynamic but can't help themselves from seeking the partner out. The line "You love me then you hate me / What's it going to be" indicates how the partner's inconsistency is the source of tension in the relationship. However, the singer wants to preserve the "magic" of the relationship as it is unique to them. The bridge highlights the turbulence of the relationship; sometimes, they see eye-to-eye, sometimes not, sometimes it's a rollercoaster ride. Despite this, the singer can't resist the partner's "charm" and wants them in their life. "The Situation" is ultimately an honest depiction of an imperfect love affair that defies easy categorization.
