Alibi
VanLadyLove Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I
get a little bit crazy sometimes
When I stumble into an alibi
Sometimes it gets me through another night
Sometimes you gotta love an alibi
I gotta warn you
Get a little bit jaded sometimes
When I stumble into an alibi
Sometimes it gets me through another night
Sometimes you gotta love an alibi
oh oh oh oh oh
Maybe I can lose my mind
Maybe I can give you time
But Baby I don't wanna go
Oh oh oh oh oh
Maybe I can lose my mind
Maybe I can give you time
But Baby I don't wanna go
Oh oh oh oh oh
Maybe I can lose my mind
Baby I don't wanna go
Maybe I can lose my mind
Baby I don't wanna know
Maybe I can lose my mind
Maybe I can give you time
Baybe I don't wanna go
ohhhhhh
I gotta warn you
That I get a little bit crazy sometimes
The song Alibi by VanLadyLove is about the singer warning their partner that they tend to be a bit unstable and unpredictable, relying on alibis to get them through the night. The repetition of "sometimes you gotta love an alibi" evokes a feeling of resignation and acceptance of their own flaws. The lyrics "Maybe I can lose my mind / Maybe I can give you time / But Baby I don't wanna go" suggest that the singer is afraid of losing their partner if they reveal their true selves, but they also don't want to let go of their own identity. The repetition of "oh oh oh oh oh" and "Maybe I can lose my mind / Baby I don't wanna go" create a feeling of uncertainty and longing.
Overall, the song explores the complexities of relationships and the struggle to balance one's own desires with the expectations and needs of a partner. The use of the word "alibi" adds a sense of deceit and danger, as though the singer is hiding something that could potentially harm the relationship. The repeated phrases and the driving beat of the chorus create a sense of urgency and desperation, emphasizing the emotional turmoil of the singer.
