Accidents Happen
Zoé Badwi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It wasn’t meant to be like this
I’ve been trying to wrap my head around it, in fact
It happened in a split second
Nothing I can do

I didn’t mean to feel like this (I didn’t mean to)
I’m standing here, I can’t resist too far
I didn’t mean to crash like I did
Crash right into you

[Chorus]
But accidents happen, somebody call nine one one
Accidents happen, situation’s critical
Accidents happen, an accidental miracle
Accidents happen, oh whoa
Head on, you hit me hard
Keep crashing into my heart
Head on, you hit me hard
Keep crashing into my heart

Accidents happen, oh whoa

I don’t know it got like this (I don’t know)
I can’t recall the chain of events, I can’t
But now it’s like you’re stuck in my head
I don’t want you out, don’t want you

I didn’t mean to feel like this
I’m standing here, I can’t resist too far
I didn’t mean to crash like I did
crash right into you

[Chorus]

Into my heart
Into my, into my, into my heart
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I didn’t mean, I didn’t mean to
I didn’t mean to, I didn’t mean to, oh whoa
I didn’t mean to, I didn’t mean to, oh whoa
I didn’t mean to

But accidents happen, somebody call nine one one
Accidents happen, situation’s critical
Accidents happen, an accidental miracle
Accidents happen, oh whoa





Accidents happen

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Zoe Badwi's song "Accidents Happen" depict the unexpected nature of love and how it can happen in a split second. The singer is trying to come to terms with the fact that they have fallen for someone they didn't mean to fall for, and they can't resist their feelings even though they didn't plan it. The chorus emphasizes this sentiment with the lines "accidents happen, somebody call nine one one/situation's critical/an accidental miracle." The singer feels as if they have been hit hard by this unexpected love and it keeps crashing into their heart.


The lyrics seem to convey a sense of confusion and uncertainty, as the singer can't recall how they ended up feeling this way, but they know they can't shake the other person from their mind. The repetition of the line "I didn't mean to" suggests that the singer was not looking for love, but it found them nonetheless. The metaphor of a crash could also be interpreted as a metaphor for a romantic collision, where the singer and the other person unexpectedly collide and become romantically entangled.


Overall, the lyrics to "Accidents Happen" depict the chaos and unpredictability of love, and how it can catch us off guard and leave us feeling both exhilarated and bewildered.

I'm an EDM person, I like music produced by different techno, electro, house and trance DJ/producers, and I haven't been listening much to mainstream music in the last few years, but, I must admit, this song has some balls. Can't stop listening to it. This track is just amazing!
