The meaning of the lyrics of the song "5 of Your Exes" by the artist "VVAVES"

In the song "5 of Your Exes" by VVAVES, the author describes a manipulative guy prone to abusive behavior in relationships. The lyrical heroine, communicating with him and, importantly, with his ex-girlfriends, begins to understand his true nature.

At the beginning of the song, she acknowledges his dangerous charm, his ability to drive you crazy not in a romantic, but in the literal sense. She warns listeners about the danger of such men hiding behind the mask of "the one."

Further, we see the doubts and anxiety of the heroine. The guy tries to manipulate her, most likely by portraying his exes in a negative light, as "crazy." But the heroine is smarter: she communicates with 5 of his exes, who confirm her fears. They are all "perfectly normal" and warn her about his destructive behavior.

The heroine is disappointed: the guy turned out to be a superficial party-goer who did not live up to her expectations. She regrets the wasted time and the fact that she did not recognize his true nature earlier.

The chorus of the song is a powerful message repeated throughout the song. The heroine repeatedly addresses the object of her disappointment, pointing out his lies and hypocrisy. "5 of your exes" is not just a number, it is proof of the systematic nature of his behavior, confirmed by independent sources.

The final lines of the song are the heroine's assertion of her being right. She no longer believes his lies and is ready to break this vicious circle.
