Lyrics
We said you were wrong
We acknowledged that you were incorrect
We said you were wrong
Reiteration of acknowledging the mistake
When you were right all along
Despite our earlier belief, you were actually right all along
Can't say that ain't wrong
We can't deny that some aspects were indeed wrong
But can we just say what's wrong
Instead of dwelling on what's wrong, can we address it and move forward in the song?
And move on with the song
Suggesting a desire to continue with the music after addressing the issue
So tell me I'm wrong
Asking to be told that I am wrong
Tell me I'm wrong when
Repetition of the request to be told that I am wrong
I say to move on
Asserting the need to move on
Yeah tell me I'm wrong
Requesting confirmation of being wrong when suggesting to move on
When I say who been
Questioning who has been foolish throughout
Playing the fool all along
Highlighting a realization of playing the fool for an extended period
Long nights trying to make the wrongs right
Describing efforts to correct past wrongs during long nights
Yea it's been a long fight, but ya still standing
Acknowledging a lengthy struggle, yet standing tall
Upright, fighting off a strong bite
Fighting against a powerful force, metaphorically depicted as a strong bite
Coming out the jaws of defeat and getting back in
Emerging from a situation of potential failure and getting back in
Long nights trying to make the song right
Continuing efforts to make the song right
You been on a long flight, and ya got cramped in
Metaphorically referencing a long flight with discomfort
All night, but it gone be alright
Despite challenges, expressing optimism that everything will be okay
You no longer need to believe what happened
No longer needing to believe in past events
You no longer
Repetition emphasizing the freedom from past beliefs
You no longer
-You no longer need to believe
-You no longer need to believe what happened
-We said you were wrong
Reiteration of earlier lines reinforcing the acknowledgment of being wrong
We said you were wrong
-When you were right all along
-Can't say that ain't wrong
-But can we just say what's wrong
-And move on with the song
-So tell me I'm wrong
-Tell me I'm wrong when
-I say to move on
-Yeah tell me I'm wrong
-When I say who been
-Playing the fool all along
-You can see when someone want to size ya up
Observation of someone assessing or evaluating another person
Like a squirrel trying to find a nut
Using a squirrel metaphor to describe the effort of finding something valuable
And ain't nobody know what's behind ya eyes
No one knows what's truly in someone's mind until they succeed
Until we seen ya rising up
Recognition of someone's rise or success
You got ya mind on the prize
Having a clear focus on a goal
And it ain't coming off
Determination to persist until the end of regular working hours
Until ya work ya last of the nine-to-the-fives
Realization that circumstances may differ from expectations
And it ain't what ya thought
Unexpected outcomes when choosing sides in a conflict
When ya got to take sides
Forced to make decisions in the battle for mental well-being
In the battle for ya mind
The importance of not wasting time in mental conflicts
You don't wanna waste time
Emphasizing the significance of time in mental battles
It's so many things sitting right in front of your eyes
Awareness of hidden truths in one's immediate surroundings
That isn't always easy to see
Highlighting the difficulty of recognizing certain realities
And it isn't always easy hearing different advice
Acknowledging the challenge of receiving conflicting advice
When all ya really need's just to be
The fundamental need for authenticity and being oneself
If ya think ya are, ya probably not controlling ya life
Questioning one's control over their own life
This isn't always easy to see
Reiteration of the difficulty in perceiving one's situation objectively
Cuz if ya in control, ya know that controlling ya life
Understanding that true control involves more than external appearances
Is more than choosing what the people should see
Controlling one's life extends beyond managing public perception
We said you were wrong
Repetition of earlier lines, emphasizing the acknowledgment of being wrong
We said you were wrong
-When you were right all along
-Can't say that ain't wrong
-But can we just say what's wrong
-And move on with the song
-So tell me I'm wrong
-Tell me I'm wrong when
-I say to move on
-Yeah tell me I'm wrong
-When I say who been
-Playing the fool all along
