I Don't Like You Anymore
The Last Shadow Puppets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And fallen for the phone again
Enticed me for a second time today
Only for me to realize the same
[Chorus]
I don't like you anymore
Cracked and your face is changing
But I can't let your repeat and repeat it again
The sound of your voice
Is piercing my patience
As you turn through the midnight corridors
Can we keep in your resent
Retire to the setting a hint
Drying in an old familiar cast
Twitching as I fear it's far too late
Cause I don't like you anymore
I don't like you anymore
[Chorus]
And there's stuff in the corridors
There is no escape from these
No offense to your trap and be your disease
Well you are just a something to cease
And you swear that you think that you tease
But you pout which is about
And your final lie can be described as fine
It can be described as fine

Line by Line Meaning
I don't like you anymore
I no longer have any feelings of fondness or affection towards you
And fallen for the phone again
I have been tricked by your manipulative behavior over the phone
Enticed me for a second time today
You have tempted me a second time today with your deceitful ways
Only for me to realize the same
But I quickly realized that you were up to your old tricks again
Cracked and your face is changing
Your facade is starting to crumble and your true colors are showing
You're going down the old route
You are resorting to your usual methods of manipulation and deception
But I can't let your repeat and repeat it again
I cannot allow you to continue repeating the same toxic patterns of behavior
The sound of your voice
The tone and inflection of your voice
Is piercing my patience
It is grating on my nerves and testing my patience
As you turn through the midnight corridors
As you move through the late night halls or moments of my life
Can we keep in your resent
Can we hold onto your bitterness or grudges
Retire to the setting a hint
Retreat to the backdrop of what was said in passing
Drying in an old familiar cast
Growing stale like an old routine or pattern
Twitching as I fear it's far too late
Feeling a nervous tic as I worry that it is already too late to change our dynamic
And there's stuff in the corridors
There are underlying issues and problems in our relationship
There is no escape from these
There is nowhere to hide from these problems
No offense to your trap and be your disease
I don't mean to hurt or offend you, but your manipulations are like an illness infecting our relationship
Well you are just a something to cease
You are someone I need to push away or stop engaging with
And you swear that you think that you tease
You think you can toy with my emotions for your own amusement
But you pout which is about
But your childish behavior is unproductive
And your final lie can be described as fine
Your ultimate deception might seem acceptable, but it is just as harmful as the rest
It can be described as fine
But even though you think it's harmless, it is still wrong
