The meaning of the lyrics of the song "21 Questions" by the artist "Waterparks"

Contents

In Waterparks' song "21 Questions," the lyrical protagonist is obsessed with a girl who already has a boyfriend. He describes his mixed feelings: on the one hand, he realizes that he is acting badly by communicating with her behind her boyfriend's back ("I'm becoming what I've always hated"), but on the other hand, he cannot resist the temptation ("But talking to you tempts me").

He craves her attention ("My mood depends on our conversations"), is jealous ("I get upset when you don't text me") and dreams that she will leave her boyfriend for him ("This time I want you all to myself"). At the same time, the hero is aware of the fragility of the situation and is afraid that the girl may get tired of him as well as her current boyfriend ("Will you get tired of me too?").

The metaphor of "21 questions" describes their secret relationship, which resembles a game full of understatement and intrigue. They build their own world, isolated from reality ("We live in our own relationship, away from lost time and addictions"), but the hero is tormented by uncertainty and fear of losing his beloved.

I wish there was a situation to be mad at

Or a person I could blame

I've got a loud mouth, I'm pale with a ghost obsession

But behind the scenes with her I'm playing 21 Questions

There's gotta be a reason

You keep your guy in hiding

I'm becoming what I've hated

But your talk is so inviting

But then what?

You drop your guy and take me on

It's everything I wanted

But then what?

Would you get tired of my time?

My mood's dictated by our conversations

And if you don't text I get too frustrated

I want you all to myself this time, t-t-time

Conflicted looks good on me

I'm trying desperately

Want you all to myself this time, t-t-time

I never have to

Carefully shape sentences

When I've got some words to say

They're falling from my mouth from the time

That they hit my brain

'Cause we built a picture made for frames

We live in chemistry away from all the wasted time and taste

But then what?

You dropped your guy and took me on

It's everything I wanted

But then what?

Would you get tired of my time?

My mood's dictated by our conversations

And if you don't text I get too frustrated

I want you all to myself this time, t-t-time

Conflicted looks good on me

I'm trying desperately

Want you all to myself this time, t-t-time

We built a picture made for frames

We live in chemistry away from all the wasted time and taste

And it sucks to sleep

'Cause you aren't talking to me

I wanna give you space

But the amount between us is wrecking me

But then what?

You dropped your guy and took me on

It's everything I wanted

But then what?

Would you get tired of my time?

'Cause then what?

You dropped your guy and took me on

It's everything I wanted

But then what?

Would you get tired of my time?

'Cause then what?

You dropped your guy and took me on

It's everything I wanted

But then what?

Am I in his position now?

'Cause then what?

You dropped your guy and took me on

It's everything I wanted

But then what?

Would you get tired of my time?

My mood's dictated by our conversations

And if you don't text I get too frustrated

I want you all to myself this time, t-t-time

Conflicted looks good on me

I'm trying desperately

Want you all to myself this time, t-t-time

I'll forget you if you need me to

Like nothing ever happened

My sun still sets without you

Like nothing ever happened
