Nobody's Fault
Self-Reflection in Phantom Planet's Melody
Lyrics
Everything is ok
Everything seems to be alright or acceptable.
Everything is fine
Everything appears to be satisfactory.
I gave you everything you asked for
The speaker provided all that was requested, but there's a plea not to be treated harshly.
Don't be so unkind
Urging against unkindness or harsh treatment.
Well every time you map out
The speaker examines or analyzes every detail.
Every little thing
Every small or trivial aspect is considered.
It's too soon to pull out
It's premature to end something.
Oh pull out, that wedding ring
A reference to removing a wedding ring, possibly signifying the end of a marriage or commitment.
I'm so ready
The speaker feels prepared or inclined.
I'm not ready
The speaker contradicts the readiness expressed earlier.
This little boy is running right back home
A younger person is returning home.
I guess it's nobody's fault but my own
The blame for the situation is acknowledged to be solely the speaker's.
Never had the patience
The speaker lacked the ability to wait or tolerate delays.
Never had the time
There wasn't enough time available.
Never knew that working hard
The speaker was unaware that hard work was deemed unacceptable.
Was such a crime
Working hard was viewed negatively.
Well I thought I could make you
The speaker believed they could bring happiness in the future.
Happy down the line
The intent was to make someone happy in the long run.
But I guess it's been over
The relationship has likely ended for a while.
Since you hurt this heart of mine
The speaker's heart was hurt at that time.
On your mark
Preparing for a start or a beginning.
Get set go
Ready, steady, and commence.
This little boy is running right back home
A young person is returning home again.
I guess it's nobody's fault but my own
The blame for the situation remains solely with the speaker.
Well I thought I could make you
The belief in the ability to bring happiness in the future is reiterated.
Happy down the line
The intent to make someone happy in the long run is reiterated.
But I guess it's been over
The relationship has likely ended for a while (repeated).
Since you hurt this heart of mine
The speaker's heart was hurt at that time (repeated).
On your mark
Preparing for a start or a beginning (repeated).
Get set go
Ready, steady, and commence (repeated).
This little boy is running right back home
A young person is returning home again (repeated).
I guess it's nobody's fault but my own
The blame for the situation continues to rest solely on the speaker (repeated).
