Divorce
Yohannans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
falls face first on to the pavement
bloody ears, clothes torn apart
throwing up, pissing himself
i must have been blind, cos' now i see
it's not you who've changed, it's me
from excusing your poisonous routine
there's nothing left of us
but fuck off
could you be further away from me?
could i be further from you?
the answer is yes, and we will be
if i never see you again will be too soon
i wish i had known better
but then again, who wouldn't?
did we even try to make it, ever?
either way, we couldn't
there's nothing left of us
but fuck off
i'm having a hard time defuse
you've always been this ludicrous?
i knew you had issues
depression, mania, neurosis
but bourgeois values?
you must be fuckin' kidding me?!
i'm lost for words here...
there's nothing left of us
but fuck off
truth is, we don't know each other
who are you, now again?
the connection between one another
might as well have never been
damn all you can do to me
everything's already been done
you were always my losing streak
from the start down to the last one
there's nothing left of us
but fuck off
disappointment comes en masse
rotten nights of unawares
but like everything else, it'll pass
and if it don't, then who cares?
the man on the pavement is gone
maybe an ambulance came and got him
perhaps he got up on his own
somebody's washing away what's left of him
The lyrics of Yohannans's song "Divorce" depict a raw and intense emotional journey of a man coming to terms with the end of a relationship. The imagery of a man stumbling out of a car, in a disheveled state, falling face first on the pavement, with bloody ears and torn clothes, evokes a sense of literal and metaphorical pain and disarray. The physical description of the man throwing up and pissing himself reflects the emotional turmoil and distress he is experiencing.
The realization dawns on the man that it was not his partner who changed, but rather he himself who failed to see the toxicity of the relationship. The acknowledgment that it was always the partner's destructive behavior that was evident, not an external change, signifies a moment of clarity and self-awareness. The repetition of "there's nothing left of us but fuck off" reinforces the finality and bitterness of the breakup, as if cutting ties and letting go is the only way forward.
The lyrics also delve into the sense of disbelief and disillusionment as the man reflects on the futility of trying to salvage the relationship. The mention of the partner's issues such as depression, mania, and neurosis, followed by a sarcastic disbelief at their bourgeois values, highlights the disconnect and incredulity at who the partner turned out to be. The use of profanity underscores the anger and betrayal felt by the man towards his former partner.
As the man grapples with the reality that the connection between them may have never truly existed, a sense of resignation and acceptance begins to emerge. The contemplation of disappointment and the passing of time suggest a reluctant acknowledgment that the pain and hurt will eventually fade. The imagery of the man on the pavement being either helped by an ambulance or left to fend for himself mirrors the uncertainty and finality of their separation, echoing the theme of closure and moving on.
Overall, the lyrics of "Divorce" by Yohannans encapsulate the tumultuous journey of a man navigating the aftermath of a failed relationship. The raw emotions, introspective reflections, and stark imagery paint a vivid picture of heartbreak, disillusionment, and acceptance. Through vivid storytelling and evocative language, the song captures the complexity and emotional weight of the end of a partnership.

a man stumbles out of a car
An individual emerges unsteadily from a vehicle
falls face first on to the pavement
Collapses onto the ground, impacting with the face first
bloody ears, clothes torn apart
Evident physical injuries and torn attire
throwing up, pissing himself
Vomiting and losing control of bodily functions
i must have been blind, cos' now i see
I realize my previous ignorance
it's not you who've changed, it's me
The fault lies with me, not you
from excusing your poisonous routine
Forgiving harmful behavior
it was always you, evidently
You were the issue all along
there's nothing left of us
The relationship has ceased to exist
but fuck off
A blunt expression of separation
could you be further away from me?
Is distance between us even possible?
could i be further from you?
Separation from you is distant
if i never see you again will be too soon
Avoidance is preferred
i wish i had known better
Regret for lacking insight
but then again, who wouldn't?
Most individuals would feel the same
either way, we couldn't
Regardless, the outcome was inevitable
you must be fuckin' kidding me?!
Expressing disbelief and shock
i'm lost for words here...
Speechless and unable to articulate feelings
truth is, we don't know each other
Lack of understanding between us
who are you, now again?
Questioning the identity of the other person
the connection between one another
The bond we shared
damn all you can do to me
Frustration with the situation
if it don't, then who cares?
Indifference to the outcome
disappointment comes en masse
Numerous instances of letdown
rotten nights of unawares
Unpleasant evenings of ignorance
but like everything else, it'll pass
Time will heal all wounds
and if it don't, then who cares?
Lack of concern if things do not improve
the man on the pavement is gone
The individual on the ground has disappeared
maybe an ambulance came and got him
Possibly received medical assistance
perhaps he got up on his own
Could have stood up independently
somebody's washing away what's left of him
Cleanup occurring to remove remnants of the individual
