Unwritten Law Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't think you'll have to see my face again
Don't have much time for sympathy
'cause it never happened to me
You feelin' blue now
I think you bit off more than you could chew
And now it's time to make a choice
And all I want to hear is your
So follow the leader down
And swallow your pride and drown
When there's no place left to go
Maybe that's when you will know
Follow the leader down
And swallow your pride and drown
When there's no place left to go
Maybe that's when you will know
And foolish lies well can't you see
I tried to compromise
'cause what you say ain't always true
And I can see the tears in your eyes
And what you said now
Can't stop the words from running through my head
And what I do to get through to you
But you'd only do it again
So follow the leader down
And swallow your pride and drown
When there's no place left to go
Maybe that's when you will know
Follow the leader down
And swallow your pride and drown
When there's no place left to go
Maybe that's when you will know
Well I confess, I don't know what to make from all this mess
Don't have much time for sympathy
But it never happened to me
You Feelin down I don't know where I'll be when you come around
And now it's time to make a choice
And all I want to hear is your voice
The song "Seein' Red" by Unwritten Law is about a breakup between two people where one person is feeling hurt and the other is feeling indifferent. The person who is feeling hurt is seeing red and feeling angry and betrayed. They don't think they need to see their ex-lover's face again and don't have much sympathy for them because this pain has never happened to them before. The chorus encourages the ex-lover to follow the leader down and swallow their pride and drown, indicating that they need to face the consequence of their actions.
The lyrics suggest that the person who is feeling hurt tried to compromise with their ex-partner, but their partner's lies and constant deception lead to the breakup. Now they can see the tears in their partner's eyes, but they are reluctant to believe anything they say. The song ends with the person who is feeling hurt confessing that they don't know what to make from all of this mess, but they want to hear their ex-lover's voice. This indicates that they are still in love and willing to reconcile with them.
