Year In Review
Navigating Heartbreak: The Black Keys' 'Year In Review' Unveiled
Lyrics
Why you always wanna love the ones that hurt you?
Questioning the tendency to love those who cause pain.
Then break down when they go and desert you
Expressing the emotional breakdown when those loved ones leave.
No, oh no
Emphasizing a sense of denial or refusal to accept the situation.
It's so hard to let 'em go
Highlighting the difficulty of letting go of those who hurt.
And watch 'em scatter when you start asking questions
Observing people avoiding questions and dispersing when confronted.
Like why we always in the wrong direction?
Reflecting on consistently making wrong choices or decisions.
Shame, such a shame
Expressing disappointment or disapproval of repeating a pattern.
But you're doing it again
Noting a recognition of repeating the same behavior.
You don't wanna know more
Indicating a reluctance to seek more information or details.
And you've been down this road before
Acknowledging past experiences of going through similar situations.
So leave it alone
Suggesting to refrain from engaging further in the situation.
Just leave it alone
Reiterating the advice to leave the situation alone.
And when you hear about the lies other people are sayin'
Being aware of false information spread by others.
Just know they talk as they don't have a way inside
Asserting that those spreading lies lack insight into the truth.
Oh they try
Observing the impact on the pride of those spreading lies.
Look how it hurts their pride
Noting the emotional toll on those spreading false information.
You can never find a soul that's got no pain within
Stating that everyone carries pain within themselves.
Just like you'll never find a singer without their sin, no sin
Comparing sin to an inherent part of being human, like pain in the soul.
Will it ever end?
Pondering whether the cycle of pain and sin will ever cease.
You don't wanna know more
Reiteration of a reluctance to seek more information or details.
And you've been down this road before
Acknowledging past experiences of going through similar situations.
So leave it alone
Suggesting to refrain from engaging further in the situation.
Just leave it alone
Reiterating the advice to leave the situation alone.
No this ain't nothing new
Emphasizing that the situation is not something new.
The only thing you've got is you
Highlighting self-reliance as the only constant in the situation.
So leave it alone
Reinforcing the advice to leave the situation alone.
Just leave it alone
Reiterating the advice to leave the situation alone.
Oh oh
No specific meaning; a repeating refrain.
Oh
No specific meaning; a repeating refrain and the end of the song.
