Credits
Third Try Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To my ordinary life
Maybe I'll call my exgirlfriend for the millionth time
And ask that bitch to be my wife
'cause when the credits cross the screen
I find myself alone and forced to watch the final scenes
I found you in his arms and then i lost my mind tonight
Before his sister cut your hair
When i see you all alone it breaks my heart in two
I know i can never be there
The lyrics to Third Try's song Credits are reflective of a desire for a happy ending to an otherwise ordinary life. The singer, whose name is not given, expresses a longing for a romantic relationship that will serve as the bookend to his life story. However, he is unable to secure this dream relationship, as evidenced by the fact that his ex-girlfriend has rejected him many times before. This sense of loneliness is only exacerbated when he is forced to watch the end credits of some imaginary movie. This is the moment when the hope for a happy ending is most palpable, and yet, it eludes the singer like so many other things in his life.
The song then takes a more touching turn as the singer reflects on a woman named Laney. Laney is someone who has always been "so beautiful" to him, despite the fact that another man, whom he refers to as "his", is now dating her. In a way, Laney is symbolic of all of the things that the singer has always wanted -- beauty, grace, and a genuine connection with another human being. However, her proximity to the other man only serves to highlight the singer's own feelings of loneliness and disconnection. He can never be with her, and he knows it.
Overall, the song Credits is a poignant reflection on the human desire for connection and meaning. The singer longs for a storybook ending to his otherwise mundane life, and yet he is unable to secure it. In the end, he is left to watch the credits roll and contemplate all of the opportunities that he has missed. This is a feeling that many people can relate to, and the song does an excellent job of expressing it in a way that is both authentic and affecting.
Line by Line Meaning
All I ever wanted was a storybook ending
I had always dreamt of an adventurous and magical conclusion to my mundane life
To my ordinary life
To the unexciting and monotonous life that I have always had
Maybe I'll call my exgirlfriend for the millionth time
I am considering reaching out to my former lover yet again, despite the numerous failed attempts
And ask that bitch to be my wife
I may call her a derogatory name, but deep down, I still long to marry her
'cause when the credits cross the screen
At the end of any story or film that I watch
I find myself alone and forced to watch the final scenes
I always end up being alone, stuck watching the closing moments of the narrative
I found you in his arms and then i lost my mind tonight
I discovered that you were with him, and it drove me insane with jealousy and rage
Laney you have always been so beautiful to me
Despite time and distance, I still see you as an incredibly attractive person
Before his sister cut your hair
I remember you as you were before this person's sibling changed your appearance
When i see you all alone it breaks my heart in two
Seeing you by yourself makes me feel a deep sense of pain and sadness
I know i can never be there
I acknowledge that I can never fill the void in your life or be the person that you need me to be

I love that he has the power to save all the x force members but only saves Peter
@mateotierno3780
That's cause the other ones are the heroes we want, but Peter is the hero we need
@OvSpP
By saving Peter he might’ve saved zytgist (I have no idea if I spelled that correctly)
