Kelly Song
The Movielife Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And spills the truth about how she feels inside
Kelly screams, it usually means I'm not being me
Or she's not being her, but anyway
A second chance means nothing,
When nothing's learned from past mistakes
And I'm sure we've felt the way, the way
Cause three whole years fall on deaf ears
I'm in no place for solitaire
Three whole years fall on deaf ears
If you can't understand our fears, it's not fair to me
Do you remember when? Kelly, do you remember when?
When I figured it was cool, and I figured wrong
A second chance means nothing,
When nothing's learned from past mistakes
And I'm sure we've felt the weight
And do you know how I know?
Because all those times we looked in each other's eyes,
And we ignored all the signs
And three whole years fall on deaf ears
I'm in no place for solitaire
Three whole years fall on deaf ears
If you can't understand our fears, it's not fair to me
Do you remember when? Kelly, do you remember when?
When I figured it was cool, and I figured wrong
Do you remember when? Kelly, do you remember when?
When I figured it was cool, and I figured wrong
Why do I even try? (I don't know, it's all for nothing)
Why do I even try? (I don't know, it's all for nothing)
I'm waiting for you, will you wait for me too?
Yeah wait for me, yeah wait for me, it's not fair to me
Do you remember when? Kelly, do you remember when?
When you figured it was cool, and you figured wrong
Do you remember when? Kelly, do you remember when?
When you figured it was cool, and you figured wrong
You figured wrong, you figured wrong, you figured wrong
you figured it was cool, and you figured wrong
The Movielife's song "Kelly Song" describes a relationship between two people, Kelly and the singer, and their struggles to communicate and understand each other. Kelly is shown to be emotionally vulnerable, crying and screaming as a way of expressing herself. The singer believes that they have been given second chances in their relationship, but that these have been fruitless because neither of them has learned from their past mistakes. The lyrics suggest that they have been in a relationship for three years, but that this time has been wasted because they have not been able to understand or support each other's fears.
The chorus repeats the line "Do you remember when? Kelly, do you remember when? When I figured it was cool, and I figured wrong," suggesting that both characters have made missteps in their relationship, but that they cannot seem to move past them. The final lines of the song, "you figured it was cool, and you figured wrong," emphasize the idea that miscommunication and misunderstanding are at the heart of the characters' problems.
Overall, "Kelly Song" is a poignant look at the difficulties of communication and connection in romantic relationships. It suggests that even when we care deeply for someone, we may not be able to fully understand or support them, and that the passage of time does not necessarily bring clarity or resolution.
