I Must Apologise
pinkpantheress Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm not acting the way I think you'd like
We went for dinner and now you're acting paranoid
If only you knew the way I felt inside on that night
Your paranoia, it happens all the time
And that's 'cause lying's a big problem of mine (just a problem for me)
But I still do it and now I'm by myself again
If I could, I would make amends
Today I wrote a list of them
The way it starts, the way it ends
I signed my name in marker pen (yeah)
I must apologize
Before I end the night
It's not a game I want to change
These days it doesn't feel the same
The way it did some years before
I've lost so much, I'll lose some more
I'm not able
To tell you what you need, it's a shame 'cause
They say I should be honest more, one day, I'm sure
I'll figure out the reason I was telling lies for
(I must apologize)
(Before I end the night)
In "I Must Apologise," Pinkpantheress expresses remorse for the way she's treated someone she cares about. She begins by describing her own discomfort with their recent interactions, emphasizing that she's not behaving in a way that she thinks the other person would want. She expresses confusion about why the other person seems to be acting paranoid, or mistrustful of her, and says that if they knew how she was feeling, they might understand her behavior better. However, she acknowledges that her own tendency to lie makes it difficult for her to be honest with this person, and that this is likely contributing to their current strain in their relationship. She says that she's tried to make amends, even writing a list of all the things she's done wrong, but she still feels unable to fully articulate her feelings to the other person. Ultimately, she apologizes for any pain she's caused and hopes that they can move forward.
At its core, "I Must Apologise" is a song about the difficulties of communication and honesty in relationships. The singer recognizes that she's not behaving in the way she thinks the other person wants, but she doesn't know how to bridge that gap. Her tendency to lie further complicates matters, making it difficult for her to be open and vulnerable with the other person. This tension is palpable in the song's haunting melody and sparse instrumentation, which create a sense of yearning and regret. Ultimately, the song is a reminder that we all struggle to communicate our feelings at times, but owning up to our mistakes and expressing remorse is an important step towards repairing damaged relationships.
