Something isn't right here. You've gone and left me on the ground. Something isn't right in this world called confusion. You gave it all away before you could lose it. Something isn't right here on the ground. You never said goodbye. You died. You chose to carry on a lie. Something isn't right here. You've gone and left me on the ground.




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Juliana Theory's song "Something Isn't Right Here" convey the sense of loss and confusion that arises when someone is left behind without a proper goodbye. The opening line "Something isn't right here" sets the tone and immediately establishes the idea that the singer is struggling with something unsettling. The love interest of the singer has decided to leave them without any explanation, and the singer is left on the ground, devastated and bewildered. The phrase "Something isn't right in this world called confusion" suggests that the breakup has thrown everything the singer knows into question.


As the lyrics continue, it becomes apparent that the love interest has taken something with them, either physically or metaphorically, and has given it all away before they could lose it. This adds another layer of complexity to the situation as it implies that the love interest was anticipating the end of the relationship and acted accordingly. The final lines "You died. You chose to carry on a lie" hit the hardest, connoting that the singer feels as though the person they loved no longer exists and perhaps never did. The song ends similarly to how it began, with the singer being left behind, lost and heartbroken.


In summary, "Something Isn't Right Here" is a poignant song about the aftermath of a breakup, exploring the feelings of loss, confusion, and betrayal that come with being left behind without a proper goodbye.
