That you aren't telling tales to her.
If you never tell a lie to her,
You don't have to remember anything,
It all goes out the window when,
I try to do it myself,
That you never get stressed when she questions events you'll be best to forget.
Can you actually blag when the lamb glances when you prang and your chatting,
That if you had the chance to go back to her pad for a passionate act you wouldn't have it?
Oi, why's that then?
Its 'cause the reason you been faithful is
Its been so good
You never seen temptation
Deep down you hear the mans burden
We all have a mans burden
You'll always be a bad person
It's getting you down
You were letting her down,
You were tempted and failed.
You showed her up,
You need to be owning up you need to show her you love her for once.
It was an extreme circumstance it was she that advanced
She defeated you gradually
So you must then be honest you must then get on this.
Mend the wrong shit.
If you never tell a lie to her,
You don't have to remember anything,
It all goes out the window when,
I try to do it myself
Oi oi, so why you wanna phone up?
Why you wanna own up?
You were selfish and so dumb.
To ease it off your chest, to be relieved of the mess that's being proper selfish,
I been in some broken moments I know what goes on the road but there's a road you chose however coked
Up your brain you know you chose to strain you know it was your game oi
But it makes you see things clearer
It was weird though man
But you didn't wanna be with her
Seriously back home
If a girl was to even hear
It would spare her weak heart
She have no fear
The chance to see the fit thing naked will spell and memorize you.
You'll disregard the ways the lady in your life inspires you.
Which is why to day she tires of you, you'll be crying and howling.
And if you had the chance to go back to her pad for a passionate act you wont allow it.
But if your plans for a chance to go back ain't even had.
Then the passionate act won't happen, 'cause you plan not to have the chance,
Rewind back if that sounded fast.
Oi you can't think straight, you gotta avoid the situation ignore what she's doing.
You may be mugged if you trust too much but it will fuck you up more worrying about trust
If you never tell a lie to her,
You don't have to remember anything,
It all goes out the window when,
I try to do it myself
You may be mugged if you trust too much
But it will more fuck you up
It will more fuck you up worrying about trust
The Streets' song "All Goes Out the Window" reflects on the idea of infidelity in a relationship. The song is about the struggle to be faithful to someone and how hard it is to resist temptation. The first verse questions whether one can honestly say they have not told a lie to their partner and how it is easier to remember the truth when one is not trying to cover their tracks. The second verse discusses the temptation one may face and the reasons why they may have been faithful until that point. The chorus emphasizes how difficult it is to resist temptation and how easy it is to forget one's commitment when faced with the opportunity.
The third verse highlights the guilt and shame that comes with cheating and how it weighs on the conscience. The fourth verse is a warning that the temptation will always be there and that trust is crucial in a relationship. The final chorus brings everything together, emphasizing that trust is important but worrying about it too much is just as damaging.
The song offers a sobering reflection on the complexities of relationships and how the line between faithfulness and infidelity can be very thin. It encourages listeners to be honest with themselves and their partners, and to beware of the potential consequences of betraying someone's trust.
Line by Line Meaning
Can you blatantly say looking straight in her face that you aint telling tales to her.
Can you honestly tell her that you never lie to her?
That you never get stressed when she questions events you'll be best to forget.
That you never feel anxious or guilty when she asks about things you want to forget about.
Can you actually blag when the lamb glances when you prang and your chatting, That if you had the chance to go back to her pad for a passionate act you wouldn't have it? Oi, why's that then?
Can you really lie when she catches you doing something wrong, and say that you wouldn't cheat on her if given the opportunity? Why wouldn't you want to?
Its 'cause the reason you been faithful is, Its been so good, You never seen temptation, Deep down you hear the mans burden, We all have a mans burden, You'll always be a bad person
The only reason you haven't cheated is because things have been going well and you haven't been tempted. But deep down, you know that everyone has their own struggles and you are not exempt from being a flawed person.
It's getting you down, You were letting her down, You were tempted and failed, You showed her up, You need to be owning up you need to show her you love her for once, It was an extreme circumstance it was she that advanced, She defeated you gradually, So you must then be honest you must then get on this, Mend the wrong shit.
You feel guilty for letting your partner down and giving into temptation. You need to take responsibility, apologize, and show her that you truly love her. But you also feel like she played a role in tempting you, even if it wasn't intentional.
Oi oi, so why you wanna phone up?, Why you wanna own up?, You were selfish and so dumb., To ease it off your chest, to be relieved of the mess that's being proper selfish, I been in some broken moments I know what goes on the road but there's a road you chose however coked, Up your brain you know you chose to strain you know it was your game oi
Why do you want to confess and take ownership of what you did wrong? You know that you were selfish and made a stupid choice. But it's also a selfish act to confess just to make yourself feel better. You've been in similar situations before and you know the consequences, but you still made the decision to cheat.
But it makes you see things clearer, It was weird though man, But you didn't wanna be with her, Seriously back home, If a girl was to even hear, It would spare her weak heart, She have no fear
Confessing may help you see things more clearly and understand your true feelings. But it's still a difficult situation because you also realize that you didn't really want to be with this other person. If your partner were to find out, it would hurt her immensely and she may not be able to handle it.
The chance to see the fit thing naked will spell and memorize you, You'll disregard the ways the lady in your life inspires you, Which is why to day she tires of you, you'll be crying and howling, And if you had the chance to go back to her pad for a passionate act you wont allow it, But if your plans for a chance to go back ain't even had, Then the passionate act won't happen, 'cause you plan not to have the chance, Rewind back if that sounded fast, Oi you can't think straight, you gotta avoid the situation ignore what she's doing, You may be mugged if you trust too much but it will fuck you up more worrying about trust
The temptation to be with a physically attractive person can be powerful and distracting, causing you to forget how much your partner means to you. This is why your partner may be feeling tired of your behavior and you'll be upset over it. Even if given the chance, you won't cheat again, but you need to make sure that you don't even put yourself in that situation. You can't let your thoughts cloud your judgement, and it's better to avoid situations where you may be tempted. Worrying too much about trust can also cause more harm than good in a relationship.
You may be mugged if you trust too much, But it will more fuck you up, It will more fuck you up worrying about trust
Being too trusting can lead to being taken advantage of, but worrying too much about trust can also be harmful to your mental health and your relationship.
If you never tell a lie to her, You don't have to remember anything, It all goes out the window when, I try to do it myself
If you always tell the truth to your partner, you don't have to worry about keeping things straight in your head, because it's easy to forget the truth when you're trying to cover up lies.
