What You Did To Me
Thrilling Curses: Unraveling the Teenage Mystery in What You Did To Me
Lyrics
After late nights
Reflecting on activities during late hours
Out and about
Being active and present outside
When you're staring at the ceiling from your couch
Contemplating existence while lying on the couch and gazing at the ceiling
And wondering what it all means
Questioning the significance of it all
After cheap thrills
Experiencing excitement or pleasure that is easily attained but perhaps lacking depth
Four in the morning
Specifically, at 4 AM, thinking about someone while looking out through a car windshield
When you're staring through a windshield missing me, just know
Stating the indifference toward the person
That I don't care
Reiterating the lack of concern or emotional investment
I don't care
Emphasizing the absence of desire to be present in that situation
And I don't wish I was there
Expressing the idea that the person doesn't deserve the emotional impact of being missed
Cause you don't deserve the feeling of me
Stating that the person doesn't deserve the emotion of longing or missing
Missing you
Highlighting the feeling of missing the person
You were a curse so thrilling but too good to be true
Describing the person as thrilling but ultimately not genuine or lasting
Something on the edge
Suggesting a feeling of being on the verge or edge of something
Something in the morning
Referencing a particular feeling or experience in the morning
Something bout the teenage mystery
Alluding to a mysterious aspect of teenage life
I didn't deserve what you did to me
Asserting that the speaker didn't merit or deserve the actions inflicted by the person
What you did to me
Reiterating the impact of the actions on the speaker
Quarter to ten
Indicating a specific time while being at a bar
I'm at the bar
Being physically present in a bar setting
Two shots away from forgetting who you are
Close to forgetting the person after consuming alcohol
And wondering who's talking to me
Questioning the identity of the person talking to the speaker
After one night stands
Engaging in brief sexual encounters
Walks of shame
Feeling regret or shame after those encounters
I'm praying I don't miss you and call your name
Praying to avoid missing or calling out the person's name
I say, don't you dare, don't you dare
Advising against certain actions or emotions
God, life isn't fair
Expressing frustration at the unfairness of life
Cause you don't deserve the feeling of me
Reiterating that the person doesn't deserve to be missed
Missing you
Emphasizing the feeling of missing the person
You were a curse so thrilling but too good to be true
Describing the person as exciting but ultimately deceptive
Something on the edge
Suggesting a feeling of being on the edge or verge of something
Something in the morning
Referring to a particular feeling or experience in the morning
Something bout the teenage mystery
Alluding to a mysterious aspect of teenage life
I didn't deserve what you did to me
Stating again the lack of deserving the actions inflicted by the person
What you did to me
Reiterating the impact of the actions on the speaker
