Make up Your Mind
Theory of a Deadman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't worry about me, I'll be fine
Those words that you said to me, why wasn't I listening?
I wish I hadn't met you at all, I started thinking
I'll sit back and relax and wait for the morning
We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time
We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time
So wake up, let's make up and do this for the last time
Make up your mind and I'll make up mine
Don't worry about me, I'll be fine
The last time you yelled at me I swore that I heard you say
I wish I hadn't met you at all, I started thinking
I'l sit back and relax and wait for the morning
We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time
We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time
If we break up, we'll wind up losing both of our minds
So wake up, let's make up and do this for the last time
When will we make up, will we break up?
Let's wake up, let's wake up, let's wake up
Make up your mind and I'll make up mine
Don't worry about me, I'll be fine
Those words that you said to me, why wasn't I listening?
I wish I hadn't met you at all, I started thinking
We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time
We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time
If we break up, we'll wind up losing both of our minds
So wake up, let's make up and do this for the last time
Let's wake up, let's make up and do this
For the last time
If we break up, we'll wind up losing both of our minds
Let's wake up, let's make up
The song "Make Up Your Mind" by Theory of a Deadman is about a tumultuous relationship where the singer is tired of the constant back and forth and just wants to know where he stands. He tells his partner to make a decision and he'll make his own accordingly, indicating that he's no longer willing to put up with the uncertainty. The chorus implies that the two have gone through this cycle of breaking up and getting back together multiple times, and the singer is aware that if they continue down this path, they will both lose their minds. Interestingly, the song ends with the singer asking his partner when they'll make up or if they'll break up, indicating that even though he's tired of the cycle, he's still willing to give the relationship another chance.
The lyrics of "Make Up Your Mind" are relatively straightforward, conveying a message of frustration and uncertainty in a relationship. However, the chorus is particularly effective in its repetition and use of rhyme, making it catchy and memorable. The song's upbeat tempo and driving guitar riff also help to convey the sense of urgency and frustration that the singer is feeling.
