March
The Reputation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's funny how
everyone acts like
this has never happend before
the dead of winter's dead, still frosen in my bed
wondering if this will all end
and I won't be alone
and they wonder why they can't be friends
words she never said
books he hasn't read
and he's of to the ceiling while she's still on the floor
they've forgotten the feeling that they
had before
It was a perfect fit once they grew into it
but it left me wondering
do I deserve this
do I deserve this
Do I deserve this
The Reputation's song "March" is a song about feeling alone and wondering if the pain and loneliness will ever come to an end. The opening lines express happiness and relief upon finding someone who has been missing in one's life for so long. The singer is grateful for the presence of this person who seems to fill the void and provide comfort. However, the tone soon turns into a more introspective and melancholic one. The phrase "it's funny how everyone acts like this has never happened before" implies a sense of loneliness that has been recurrent but ignored or dismissed by others. The singer's vulnerability is compounded by the metaphor of a dead winter that represents both the physical state of the world and the emotional condition of the singer. The image of the singer being still frozen in bed emphasizes the sense of inaction and being stuck in a frozen moment.
The chorus of the song is an expression of frustration and confusion. The singer wonders why people can't be friends and why communication seems to have broken down. The words she never said and books he hasn't read suggest that there is a lack of understanding and empathy between the two people. The lines "he's off to the ceiling while she's still on the floor/they've forgotten the feeling that they had before" paint a picture of two people who have grown apart and lost the connection that they once had. The line "It was a perfect fit once they grew into it" adds to the sense of nostalgia and regret. The singer is left wondering if they deserve to be in this state of emotional limbo, questioning their worth and whether they can ever be happy again.

I don’t want to sound like one of those people because I completely respect your opinion, but please show these artists some respect as well. You have every right to dislike a group or a release, but please don’t say that a group or song is “garbage” or that one of the members is “ruining the chorus” because that’s not good criticism. Please try to be more constructive with your criticism and don’t put the artists down in the process. We only want to spread positivity, no hate💕

@supaded love, don’t assume my gender. That’s transphobic.
And ur words make it sound like I used the slur 💀
It ain’t my problem if u don’t take it seriously - it’s yours. And u say ‘no one’ as if there’s more than one person here lmao. It isn’t weird either - it’s the same logic.

@HWAN환 girl i’m gay too congratulations it doesn’t take the fact that you used a slur for comparison.. no one is taking it seriously it’s just weird asl

@supaded love, I’m literally gay I can bring whatever I want into the conversation. I used the same logic. I wasn’t saying one of worse than the other - why u taking it more seriously than it is 💀
supaded
@HWAN환 why r u using a slur as a replacement of saying something is garbage the comparison isn’t even related bro don’t bring literal slurs that’s literally killed people into a conversation so you can tell a lil kpop youtuber that you don’t like what they said abt some dogwater kpop song😭
HWAN환
@supaded love it doesn’t matter whether the idol is offended or if they even see it: it is still wrong to say. That’s like saying “I can say the f slur bc no one will be offended” 💀
