The Judges Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Those crazy eyes, they go the mile
It's like every time you smile
I feel like I'm on trial and I don't know what to do
I sit here for a while
I'm feeling suicidal
Am I just in denial that I can't be without you?

I wanna see you one more time

And if it's over please tell me why

We are done and it's forever, yeah
It's a west coast tragеdy, the end of a lover
Wе are done and it's forever, yeah
It's a west coast tragedy, move on to another

Would you tell me that you love me, baby?
Even though we're fighting daily
Your pretty little lies got me jaded
All your friends hate me, well fuck them I hate them too
Been out all night, I've drank too much
I'm sentimental for your touch

Don't want to see you one more time
This shit is over I'll tell you why

We are done and it's forever, yeah
It's a west coast tragedy, the end of a lover
We are done and it's forever, yeah
It's a west coast tragedy, move on to another

I want to see you one last time
And if it's over tell me why
Why we are done for ever and ever and ever
Never call me again
Why we are done for ever and ever and ever
Never call me again

We are done and it's forever, yeah
It's a west coast tragedy, the end of a lover
We are done and it's forever, yeah
It's a west coast tragedy, move on to another

We are done and it's forever, yeah
It's a west coast tragedy, the end of a lover

We are done and it's forever, yeah
It's a west coast tragedy, move on to another

Overall Meaning

In "The Judge and Jury" by The Judges, the lyrics depict a tumultuous relationship where the singer feels constantly scrutinized and judged by their partner. The opening lines describe the partner's intense gaze, which makes the singer feel as though they are constantly being evaluated. This creates a sense of unease and insecurity, as every smile from the partner feels like a test that the singer may fail. The singer sits in contemplation, feeling overwhelmed to the point of suicidal thoughts. They question whether their inability to be without their partner is just a unwillingness to accept the reality of the toxic relationship.

The chorus reflects the singer's desire for closure. They want to see their partner one last time to gain some understanding of why their relationship has come to an end. The singer acknowledges the finality of the situation, referring to it as a "west coast tragedy" and accepting the need to move on to another lover. The second verse explores the constant fights and lies within the relationship, which have left the singer jaded and further isolated from their own social circle. Despite the pain and destructive tendencies, the singer still longs for their partner's touch and struggles to break free from the attachment.

The repetition of the chorus reinforces the finality of the relationship, and the last two lines serve as a plea for the partner to never contact the singer again. The song's overall theme revolves around the idea of the end of a toxic relationship and the struggle to let go, even when it brings pain.
