Don't You Realize
Vanilla Ninja Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't you understand
It's the final cut
It's the bitter end
Don't you realize
We have reached the edge
Don't you see the cold
In my eyes
Baby don't tell me we'll stay friends
Love never gets a second chance
Split hearts never mend -
Don't call again
Baby don't send me "come back" - mails
I'm so fed up with fairy tales
The message is clear
Keep outta here
Don't you realize
Don't you understand
It's the final cut
It's the bitter end
Don't you realize
We have reached the edge
Don't you see the cold
In my eyes
Don't you realize
Uoo-oo-oo-ooo
Baby don't sell me dreams again
'cause I'm so sick of all of them
I've learned the hard way
They won't come true
Baby don't say you've changed your mind
'cause I've left everything behind
That made me love you
Baby I'm through
Don't you realize
Don't you understand
It's the final cut
It's the bitter end
Don't you realize
We have reached the edge
Don't you see the cold
In my eyes
Don't you realize
Uoo-oo-oo-ooo
Tell me why you tried to cheat
Now you're in a dead end street
Baby you can never beat
You fate - tonight
Don't you realize
Don't you understand
It's the final cut
It's the bitter end
Don't you realize
We have reached the edge
Don't you see the cold

It's the final cut
It's the bitter end
Don't you realize
We have reached the edge
Don't you see the cold
In my eyes
Don't you realize
Uoo-oo-oo-ooo
The lyrics of Vanilla Ninja's song "Don't You Realize" are about a painful breakup or the end of a romantic relationship. The lyrics primarily address the message the singer wants to convey to her ex-partner who is trying to rekindle their relationship. The chorus of the song repeats the same message, "Don't you realize, Don't you understand, It's the final cut, It's the bitter end, Don't you see the cold, In my eyes." The singer asserts that the relationship has come to an inevitable end and tries to explain to the ex-partner, who seems to be struggling to come to grips with it. The song also throws light on the fact that the singer is not willing to remain friends or keep any contact with her ex-partner.
In the second verse, the singer explicitly states that she has moved on and is in no mood to entertain her ex- partner's false promises. The anger and frustration of the singer come through in the lyrics "Baby don't sell me dreams again, 'cause I'm so sick of all of them, I've learned the hard way, They won't come true." The third verse alludes to the fact that the singer's ex-partner has cheated on her, and now it's his fate to pay the price.
Overall, the song "Don't You Realize" is a well-composed tune with a powerful message of letting go of dead-end relationships.
