The situation
Zornik Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(I'm) so shamed about
the way I liked to turn you on
just having fun
a crazy end
who could have known
that we were one
and sometimes none
hey now I like it here and have a little bit of fun there
with everybody who's too good to go
'cause deep down I still care for
you but I don't know why we can't make it work
like we act as (as) we are

so shamed about
the way I liked to turn you on
just having fun
but I'm sorry..
that we were one
and sometimes none

hey now I like it here and have a little bit of fun there
with everybody who's too good to go
'cause deep down I still care for
you but I don't know why we can't make it work
like we act as (as) we are

hey now I like it here and have a little bit of fun there
with everybody who's too good to go
'cause deep down I still care for




you but I don't know why we can't make it work
like we act as (as) we are

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Zornik's song The Situation explore the complex emotions involved in a failing relationship. The song sees the singer expressing feelings of shame and regret over the way they used to treat their partner. They admit to "liking to turn [them] on" and having "just having fun", but looking back, they see their behavior as "crazy" and ultimately leading to a "crazy end". Despite this, the singer acknowledges that at one point, they and their partner were "one", but also recognizes that their relationship sometimes felt like "sometimes none".


The chorus of the song sees the singer telling their former partner that they still care for them, even though they're no longer able to make the relationship work. They admit to having "a little bit of fun there" and enjoying the company of others who are "too good to go", but ultimately, they still feel a deep connection to their ex. The song suggests that perhaps the relationship ended because the singer and their partner were never truly able to be themselves around each other ("we act as we are"), or maybe there were other more complex issues that led to the breakup.


Overall, The Situation is a powerful exploration of the complex and often painful emotions that come with the end of a relationship. The song's lyrics are emotive and honest, and will resonate with anyone who has ever struggled with their feelings for a former partner.
