A Mess Like This
The Dø Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where do we start
Thinking of me
You're not allowed
Dangerous crowds
Pressing me into unthinkable voids
Are you a curse?
Our affair
Helpless as I'm
Trying to react
You were the worst idea I ever had
Sometimes I wonder how I landed in a mess like this
And then you're walking through the door and not a thing goes wrong
Sometimes you wonder how we landed in a mess like this
And bells they ring, and there's a day when they will ring for us
Give me your heart
I'll give you mine
Hopeless exchange
Chapter erased
They say we're young
Too young to marry
Not too young to die
Sometimes I wonder how I landed in a mess like this
And then you're walking through the door and not a thing goes wrong
Sometimes you wonder how we landed in a mess like this
And bells they ring, and there's a day
When they will ring for us
Wonder how we landed in a mess like this
Walking through the door and not a thing goes wrong
Wonder how we landed in a mess like this
Ring there's a day when they will ring for
Sometimes you wonder how we landed in a mess like this
And then you're walking through the door and not a thing goes wrong
Sometimes we wonder how we landed in a mess like this
And bells they ring there's a day when they will ring for us
The lyrics of "A Mess Like This" by The Dø depict a tumultuous relationship that is wrapped in uncertainty and doubt. The song starts with the singer pleading for their partner to make up their mind and decide where the relationship should go. The singer seems to be wondering if the relationship is worth it, given the dangerous situation that they seem to find themselves in, surrounded by "dangerous crowds." The partner is pushing them into an unthinkable void, which could potentially mean a dangerous or unknown situation.
Later in the song, the singer questions whether their partner is more of a curse than a blessing, taking them from bad to worse. They also acknowledge the futility of the relationship and that it is the "worst idea" they ever had. However, despite these doubts, they still feel a deep emotional connection to their partner, with the song ending on a note of hope for their relationship and a belief in the future.
The lyrics of "A Mess Like This" are both deep and thought-provoking, with a powerful message about the nature of relationships, love, and doubt. The song is ultimately about the struggle that many people face when trying to understand the complexities of human emotions.

Our story is over
They say we're young
People think we're too immature
Too young to marry
Not ready for serious commitment
Not too young to die
But old enough to face serious consequences
And bells they ring, and there's a day when they will ring for us
One day we'll face the consequences of our actions
Wonder how we landed in a mess like this
I can't believe how bad things have become
Walking through the door and not a thing goes wrong
But then you appear and everything is okay again
Ring there's a day when they will ring for
We'll eventually pay the price for our mistakes
Sometimes we wonder how we landed in a mess like this
We're both surprised at how bad things have gotten
