Pull The Pin
The Bottom Line Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I'm so sick of this situation
I can't believe it's the same one we came from
When I'm thinking back to on the day that we started
Where we thought we could be
Something perfect, now nothing's working
You can only see what's wrong with this
Now I don't feel this when I'm looking at you
You could've been the best part
Of this forever changing season
And my useless thinking tells my head that I've thought enough
But I'm not over this

2am and the fighting commences
It's not my fault that I'm tired and defenceless
You're the one who started saying everything matters
But it doesn't matter to me
Stop trying to sum it up, you're never making things better
So tired of summing up, it's never making things better

And my useless thinking, I'm always over thinking




My head is always ticking but the time is never ever enough
My heart is so fed up with breaking tonight

Overall Meaning

The Bottom Line's song Pull the Pin addresses the complications of relationships and how overthinking can destroy even the most promising ones. The lyrics convey a sense of disappointment and frustration as the singer reflects on the beginning of their relationship and how it has turned into a source of pain. They express their exhaustion with the situation and how it seems to be going nowhere.


The verse "Well, I'm so sick of this situation, I can't believe it's the same one we came from" suggests that the singer has been in this situation before and is growing tired of it. Despite having started the relationship with the intention of making it something perfect, it has now become a source of stress and frustration. The chorus further emphasizes this disappointment as the singer reflects on missed opportunities and what could have been: "You could've been the best part of this forever changing season."


In the second verse, the singer addresses the constant fighting that seems to always take place late at night when the exhaustion is already high. They express frustration with their partner's inability to make things better and the pointlessness of trying to sum up the issues. The final line of the song "My heart is so fed up with breaking tonight" conveys the final breaking point of the singer after trying tirelessly to make things work.


Line by Line Meaning

Well I'm so sick of this situation
I am tired of being in this current state


I can't believe it's the same one we came from
Our current situation resembles the one we left behind


When I'm thinking back to on the day that we started
I remember the day when we began this journey


Where we thought we could be
We had high hopes for our future together


Something perfect, now nothing's working
Our perfect relationship is now falling apart


You can only see what's wrong with this
You only focus on the negative aspects of our relationship


Now I don't feel this when I'm looking at you
I no longer feel the same way about you when I am around you


You could've been the best part
You had the potential to be the highlight of my life


Of this forever changing season
In this constantly evolving phase of our lives


And my useless thinking tells my head that I've thought enough
My excessive worrying has led me to believe that I have overanalyzed this situation


But I'm not over this
I am not yet ready to move on from this situation


2am and the fighting commences
Our arguments often take place in the early hours of the morning


It's not my fault that I'm tired and defenceless
I cannot control my exhaustion and vulnerability during these arguments


You're the one who started saying everything matters
You are the one who insists that every little thing is significant


But it doesn't matter to me
I don't believe that every small issue is worth fighting over


Stop trying to sum it up, you're never making things better
Your constant attempts to simplify the situation are not beneficial


So tired of summing up, it's never making things better
I am exhausted from trying to simplify the situation as it never leads to a resolution


And my useless thinking, I'm always over thinking
My excessive worrying and overthinking exacerbate the situation


My head is always ticking but the time is never ever enough
I am constantly thinking and analyzing, but it never seems to be enough to resolve the situation


My heart is so fed up with breaking tonight
I am emotionally exhausted from the constant heartbreak and strain on our relationship
