Lyrics
Ooh
An expression of excitement or emotion
Oh, oh
Continuation of emotional expression, possibly indicating a mix of feelings
Oh, oh
-Oh, oh
-Ooh
Reiteration of emotional expression
Oh, oh
Further continuation of emotional expression, suggesting intensity
Oh, oh
-Oh, oh
-You said to me: “You're my cage”
A dialogue is introduced where one person claims the other is like a "cage"
I said to you: “You're the reason for my rage”
Response to being called a "cage," expressing frustration or anger
And we never knew who the bad guy was
Uncertainty about who is at fault, possibly a reference to a conflict or disagreement
You said to me: “We spent too much time”
One person feels that too much time has been spent together
I said to you: “Our love is a crime”
Response to the claim of spending too much time, characterizing love as a "crime"
And now, we aren't together anymore
Indication that the relationship has ended
Was it your fault or was it mine
Raising the question of responsibility for the breakup
It doesn’t matter cause our sun will never shine again
Regardless of fault, a sense of irreversible loss is conveyed
Will never shine again
Reiteration of the idea that things will never improve
Was it you or was it me
Continuation of questioning responsibility for the relationship's end
What was the fault we never got to see
Querying the unidentified fault that contributed to the separation
We never got to see, oh no
Emphasis on the lack of understanding or clarity about the fault
You said to me: “I don’t feel free”
One person expressing a lack of freedom in the relationship
I said to you: “You don’t trust me”
Response, accusing the other of a lack of trust
And we never knew who the bad guy was
Reiteration of uncertainty about the true antagonist in the relationship
You said to me: “I will love you forever”
Mutual expressions of eternal love despite the current separation
I said to you: “I will love you forever”
-And now, we aren't together anymore
Confirmation of the breakup
Was it your fault or was it mine
Repeating the question of fault in the separation
It doesn’t matter cause our sun will never shine again
Reaffirming the idea that the relationship's end is permanent
Will never shine again
Reiteration of the irreversible nature of the situation
Was it you or was it me
Continuation of questioning responsibility for the breakup
What was the fault we never got to see
Repeating the theme of an unknown fault contributing to the separation
We never got to see, oh no
Emphasizing the lack of clarity regarding the identified fault
And I don’t know what you think of me
Expressing uncertainty about the other person's perception
But I know now I can feel so free
Realization of personal freedom and emotional liberation
And you'll never know how we could be
The impossibility of the other person understanding the potential of the relationship
And the reason I will never see
A mysterious reason preventing realization or understanding
Was it your fault or was it mine
Repetition of the question of fault in the breakup
It doesn’t matter cause our sun will never shine again
Reaffirmation that the relationship's end is permanent
Will never shine again
Reiteration of the irreversible nature of the situation
Was it you or was it me
Continuation of questioning responsibility for the breakup
What was the fault we never got to see
Repeating the theme of an unknown fault contributing to the separation
We never got to see, oh no
Emphasizing the lack of clarity regarding the identified fault
