Makes Me Wonder
maroon five. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wake up, with blood-shot eyes
Struggled to memorize
The way it felt between your thighs
Pleasure that made you cry
Feels so good to be bad
Not worth the aftermath, after that
After that
Try to get you back

I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you

Give me something to believe in
'Cause I don't believe in you
Anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to try
Yeah, so this is goodbye

God damn, my spinning head
Decisions that made my bed
Now I must lay in it
And deal with things I left unsaid
I want to dive into you
Forget what you're going through
I get behind; make your move
Forget about the truth

I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you

Give me something to believe in
'Cause I don't believe in you
Anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference
It even makes a difference to try (yeah)
And you told me how you're feeling
But I don't believe it's true
Anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye

I've been here before
One day I'll wake up
And it won't hurt anymore
You caught me in a lie
I have no alibi
The words you say don't have a meaning
'Cause...

I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you and I...
And so this is goodbye

Give me something to believe in
'Cause I don't believe in you
Anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference
It even makes a difference to try
And you told me how you're feeling
But I don't believe it's true
Anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye
So this is goodbye, yeah




So this is goodbye, yeah
So this is goodbye, yeah

Overall Meaning

Maroon 5's song "Makes Me Wonder" is about a complicated and tumultuous relationship that has ended. The lyrics convey the singer's desire to reconnect with his former lover, but also his acknowledgement that the relationship ended for a reason. The song opens with the line "I wake up with blood-shot eyes," which suggests that the singer has been up all night thinking about the relationship. He remembers the intensity of their physical connection but also acknowledges that it caused more problems than it was worth. The chorus expresses the singer's frustration with the situation; he wants to believe in his former lover but cannot bring himself to do so as he ponders whether he ever loved her in the first place. The bridge reveals that the singer has lied to his former love and feels guilty about it, but he also feels that her words no longer hold any meaning to him.


Throughout the song, there is a sense of emotional turmoil and conflict, as the singer struggles with his feelings and tries to make sense of the relationship. The emotional turmoil is reflected in the song's instrumentation, which features a driving beat and urgent, layered vocals. Ultimately, the song suggests that, despite the pain of the breakup, it is better to move on and say goodbye rather than trying to hang on to a relationship that was ultimately toxic.

@@2Future4U We admire their "beauty" of the rich and famous. Are they truly beautiful? as they seem to have:
- hoofs for the legs
- bald heads
- animal faced /birds, dogs, wolves , you name it)
- tails
- horns


(Channels which share knowledge about this topic:
Divine truth1

Enalpekaf News)

But they "look" human?. Sure they do. They must hide, of we would kill them as we would then know, who they are (offspring of Cain = the cursed bloodline)
But they "look" human?. - it is just an illusion.
What`s underneath the illusion? - didn`t you already get a picture?


Ever noticed that every singer has at least 1 dark song?
Could it be, they sharing their experience after signing the blood contract?
M J – has “thriller”
K P – has “wide awake”

When they were a band.

@arthurgabriel4325

Before they turned into the Adams family

@dougxvale

I wish they could return to Kara's Flowers that would be dope. Ditch all of the clean pop style to a more alternative grunge persona

@ricoamordavila7496

Before Adam turned lame...

@shifalmohamed2512

@@dougxvale in last live their talks were saying like upcoming album will be good.... Like Adam said his dream writing team has quited and returned and this felt like they will be writing their new songs... Then James said that upcoming album is his favourite, he won't say that unless it has many guitar riffs.... James like songs with more guitar riffs like the sun
