Don’t get the deal
beabadoobee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How do you feel?
I've realized
Just don't get the deal
Tell me (I wonder if the time we spend)
How do you feel (I could have been a fireman)
I've realized (I'm thinking that I don't get the deal)
Just don't get the deal
Take time, I'll wait a little bit
I don't mind, we've done this all before
It feels like we'll stop eventually
For now, I guess we were meant to be
Take time, I'll wait a little bit
I don't mind, we've done this all before
It feels like we'll stop eventually
For now, I guess we were meant to be
Am I
Caught in a daze?
The look in your eyes
Is never the same
Am I (I think it's gettin' harder to see)
Caught in a daze? (I know that I've been losing sleep)
The look in your eyes (I don't think it's ever the same)
Is never the same
Take time, I'll wait a little bit
I don't mind, we've done this all before
It feels like we'll stop eventually
For now, I guess we were meant to be
Take time, I'll wait a little bit
I don't mind, we've done this all before
It feels like we'll stop eventually
For now, I guess we were meant to be
I needed some time alone
To see that it hurts
You're looking for something
But I'm here to make it worse
Take time, I'll wait a little bit
I don't mind, we've done this all before
It feels like we'll stop eventually
For now, I guess we were meant to be
Take time, I'll wait a little bit
I don't mind, we've done this all before
It feels like we'll stop eventually
For now, I guess we were meant to be
In "Don't Get the Deal" by beabadoobee, the lyrics express a sense of confusion and detachment in a relationship. The singer is asking their partner how they feel, realizing that they don't understand the dynamics of their connection. The repeated line "Just don't get the deal" emphasizes their confusion and inability to comprehend the situation.
The singer acknowledges that they have been through this cycle before, waiting and going through the motions, but ultimately feeling like it will eventually come to an end. They question if they are caught in a daze, as the look in their partner's eyes is never consistent. There is a sense of unease and frustration in not being able to grasp the truth or stability in the relationship.
The bridge suggests that the singer needed some time alone to realize that being in the relationship is causing them pain. They acknowledge that their partner is seeking something, but being with them only worsens the situation. Despite this realization, the singer still finds themselves waiting and accepting that, for now, they were meant to be together.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of confusion, detachment, and a longing for clarity in a relationship that seems to lack a clear understanding or fulfillment.
