The meaning of the lyrics of the song "There's No Such Thing as Accidental Infidelity" by the artist "You Me At Six"

Contents

The song "There's No Such Thing as Accidental Infidelity" by You Me At Six features a lyrical protagonist addressing a lover who has seemingly cheated and is trying to justify their actions. The lyrics are saturated with bitterness, sarcasm, and disappointment.

From the very first lines, the protagonist makes it clear that he doesn't believe the excuses ("Did you ever think that we would believe you?"). He points out her deceitfulness ("The look in your green eyes is so convincing / But I know who you were with last night") and calls her a traitor. The line "The line that you're walking / Is getting thinner and thinner" implies that her lies are about to be exposed, and she will be on the verge of complete collapse.

The choruses of the song ("Go home and get in bed / We say go back to whoever... / Whoever wants you more than me") sound like a bitter farewell filled with sarcasm. The protagonist seems to be saying, "Go to someone who will appreciate your lies and betrayal."

He doesn't understand why she is trying to justify herself to everyone ("Why you throwing words around the whole town") when her words mean nothing. He compares her to prey being hunted ("Turning into hearsay, you're starting a chase in the night / Well, the whistles blow / Guess we're supposed to drop like flies").

In the third verse, the protagonist wonders what he did wrong to deserve such betrayal ("Is it something that I said? / Or something that I did that made you / Tear down everything that we made?"). But he answers his own question: it's not about him, it's about her, about her deceitful nature ("It's something that you said / It's something that you did that made me / Think you're not for real").

At the end of the song, the protagonist repeats the phrase "Go home and get in bed", but adds: "And come back with nothing 'cause / I know you'll be thinking of me". This suggests that despite the pain and disappointment, he still cares for her and believes that she will regret what she did.

I've got a question

Did you think that we would ever believe you?

And on the note of rejection

The line you walk

Is getting thin, so thin

Your green eyes are potent

But last night I know who you were with

And you're a snake in the grass

And always that has been

Go back home now and go back to sleep

And we say, go back with someone else who

Who wants you more than me

Just one more question

Why do you throw your words around town

Like they answer nobody's questions

All ears, your chase comes out at night

Oh well, the whistles cry

We're supposed to drop like flies

Go back home now and go back to sleep

And we say, go back with someone else who

Who wants you more than me

Was it something I said?

Something I did that made you

Destroy all we've built

And it was something you said

Something you did that made me

Think that you weren't real

Go back home now and go back to sleep

And we say, go back with someone else who

Who wants you more than...

Who wants you more than me

Go back home now, go back to sleep

And go back with anything cause

I know you'll think of me

Go back home now, go back to sleep

And we say, go back...
