Not Fair
Unfair Escapes: A Symphony of Deception in Kate Havnevik's Not Fair
Lyrics
He got away with thousands of dollars
He successfully committed a crime involving thousands of dollars.
He got away from the state police
He managed to escape from the state police.
He got away with emotional murder
He got away with causing significant emotional harm or distress.
He slipped away with the summer breeze
He escaped unnoticed like the gentle summer breeze.
It's not fair to call it a day
Unfair to end a relationship abruptly.
It's not fair to just walk away
Unfair to simply walk away without resolution.
It's not fair to bring me down
Unfair to bring the speaker down emotionally.
It's not fair to leave a mess behind
Unfair to leave a chaotic situation behind.
He got away with the ultimate shakedown
He successfully executed a major deception or scam.
He ran away from the scene of the crime
He fled from the crime scene without being caught.
He got away from everyone in his way
He avoided everyone who could have hindered his plans.
Gone and not a trace left behind
He disappeared completely, leaving no evidence.
It's not fair to catch me out
Unfair to catch the speaker off guard.
It's not fair to leave me in doubt
Unfair to leave the speaker in uncertainty.
No it's not fair to not explain
Unfair not to provide an explanation.
It's not fair to leave a mess behind
Unfair to create a mess and not take responsibility.
How'd you pull it off?
The speaker questions how he successfully executed his plan.
How'd you get away with it?
The speaker questions how he managed to escape without consequences.
I never stood a chance
The speaker feels hopeless, as there was no chance to prevent his actions.
Oh, you left me to die
He abandoned the speaker, leaving them to suffer or face consequences alone.
It's not fair to pull me down
Unfair to bring the speaker down emotionally.
It's not fair to make me run around
Unfair to make the speaker go through unnecessary challenges.
No, it's not fair to not explain
Unfair not to provide an explanation for his actions.
It's not fair to make me ask you why
Unfair to force the speaker to ask why things went wrong.
To leave a mess behind
Leaving a mess behind signifies the aftermath of his actions.
To make me ask you why
He left the speaker questioning the reasons for his actions.
