Woman of the Year
The View Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know this isn't a chapter from your dreams
This is my way of saying sorry
But will you still love me when I'm clean
All of my friends they will not change
Still holding on to better days
No fake tears when you pretended to cry
It's only when I wake up
The reasons are endless
Why you should run away instead
It's only when I close my eyes
And Listen to the words you say
The reasons are endless
You say the words I wanna hear
Your the woman of the year
Will I have to worry about you
I know your attracting more than me
You know that it's not me talking
Couple of drinks and the paranoias
Here with my friends I won't let go
Done with the drugs coz it wrecks my bones
Seemingly sound but the bastards still on show
The lyrics of The View's song "Woman of the Year" convey a sense of vulnerability and self-awareness within a tumultuous relationship. The singer expresses a deep understanding of their partner's concerns and acknowledges their own flaws and mistakes. The opening lines, "You don't need to worry about me, I know this isn't a chapter from your dreams," suggest a level of acceptance and recognition of the disconnect between the singer and their partner's idealized version of them. Despite this, the singer seeks forgiveness and wonders if their partner will still love them when they are no longer under the influence of substances ("will you still love me when I'm clean").
The lyrics also touch upon the theme of loyalty and friendship, as the singer mentions their friends who have not changed and are holding on to better days. This could indicate a sense of stability and support system that the singer relies on, even amidst personal struggles and mistakes. The reference to "no fake tears when you pretended to cry" highlights a sense of disillusionment or deceit within the relationship, suggesting that the singer is aware of manipulative behavior and yearns for genuine emotions and communication.
The internal conflict and self-reflection of the singer are evident in lines like "It's only when I wake up, it's only when I stay in bed, the reasons are endless why you should run away instead." These lines hint at the singer's inner turmoil and self-destructive tendencies, juxtaposed with a desire for their partner's understanding and acceptance. The repetition of "It's only when I close my eyes and listen to the words you say, the reasons are endless," signifies a deep introspection and contemplation of their actions and the impact on their relationship.
The chorus of the song shifts the focus to the partner, praising them as "the woman of the year" and questioning if the singer will have to worry about them in return. The mention of attracting more attention than the singer and the reference to paranoia induced by alcohol suggest a complex dynamic of jealousy and insecurity within the relationship. The singer's resolve to let go of drugs for the sake of their health ("done with the drugs 'coz it wrecks my bones") showcases a willingness to change and improve themselves for the better, despite lingering struggles and vulnerabilities that are still visible to their friends. Overall, the lyrics of "Woman of the Year" delve into themes of self-awareness, personal growth, and the complexities of relationships tainted by past mistakes and insecurities.

Couple of drinks and the paranoias
A few drinks lead to feelings of paranoia
Here with my friends I won't let go
I am committed to my friendships
Done with the drugs coz it wrecks my bones
I have given up drugs because of the harm they cause
Seemingly sound but the bastards still on show
Appearing well but the issues are still apparent
