Lead vocalist said the song was about unrequited love. And gave this quote:"...I was in love with this girl, and she was just a broken person. She kept turning to everyone except me for love and acceptance, and I wanted so much to help her. I wanted to be the one to give her everything she wanted, but I couldn't. She just couldn't accept it from me, and it was that pain, that led me to creating the song."
thepurplefire13 I always thought it was about how uncomfortable someone could be with themselves. Wanting so much to be who they are deep down inside, but hating that person at the same time. The “he” being the narrator himself. Funny, I never got an unrequited love vibe from it. Ironic how that is exactly what it’s about.
I think all of the comments are missing what I understood most from the song. As someone who has felt like the girl in the song, I think this song does a good job of not making her the villian. It provides a good amount of understanding to where she is coming from and I was drawn in by how much I can relate to the idea of knowing someone loves me and is perfect, but for some reason I can not feel the same way. It doesn't make sense, but the fact that is in the song resonated with me because now I feel less crazy and more like this is just another version of love or type of relationship that exists in the world.
I love what you said and I do agree with you. I myself seem to be in a situation with a guy who is a good friend but he feels very strongly for me, tbh he's in love with me and I honestly don't feel the same and probably never will and it doesn't make much sense and really has me confused and not feeling so good. This has been going on over a year now and I really don't know where it will go but this song makes me think of our situation and how he feels
I like your interpretation, and I like the actual singer’s take on why they made the song (unrequited love), but I have another interpretation to add. He’s everything you want/need/want to be…. gives me transgender vibes (which the singer in no way would know). There’s trans memes where the protagonist wants to be with xyz person, or maybe they just want to be xyz person (who is usually the opposite gender), or both. The singer also said that this person they liked was broken (trauma) so it can fit my interpretation pretty well, and yours, and the singer’s, and most everybody’s. It’s a basic song but it’s a good song.
In the late 90's I fell for a beautiful raven haired woman. We seemed so right for each other and were together for nearly a year. Despite our Love, she always seemed to be looking for something else, somewhere else, and eventually drifted off. Nearly 8 years later, she was killed in a motorcycle accident. She still haunts my memory, especially whenever I hear this song.
I lost my daughter and have been staying away from music for 5 weeks now. She passed away almost 3 weeks ago. And I found out I might lose her 2 weeks before that. Ive been going thru so many emotions that music would have been too overwhelming, and I love music. i never went a day without it until now. This is the 1st song I'm listening to
I'm from Sweden. I'm sorry to hear. I've kids on my own and I can't imagine the horror you went thru. I really hope the best for you and in case you have more kids, stay strong for them. You will handle this. Don't give up. / Matt ❤
"I am everything you want, I am everything you need. I am everything inside of you that you wish you could be. I say all the right things at exactly the right time, but I mean nothing to you and I don't know why." Describes my first love exactly. 😭
Never realized how much this song fit me. Opening up old wounds, but I seem to do that more and more these days. Its weird still being so heartbroken over someone I was never actually with, but I guess love does that to you...
I love this girl whose to be wed soon. I can’t go to her wedding because of the way I feel about her. Her fiancé is a good man too. I wish her all the best as I continue this lonely trek down this road.
I lost so many people over the year’s that i cannot explain how this song makes me feel.. i wish all those people were alive including my dad and bro.. i wish i was just careless like before and not to worry about anything and hug them once again.. this is a painful feeling yet magical..
I come to listen to these songs to get that vibe of the late 90s, early 2000s when I spent my days listening to all the different rock music I'd find on MTV, on my video games, and in movies. I love that late 90s/2000s vibe. I'd go back if I could.
I feel you on this. I'm so stuck in this era, it's my go to music , I think it was at a time where my childhood was either going really well or falling apart, either way the music from that year and before was really something else. So relatable
This is a spiritual song guys! He's everything you want is God! He's everything you need. He say all the right things at the right time. But most people don't allow him in their lives, that's why he doesn't mean anything and we don't know why! This is why he mentions angels in the song. Hope you all still enjoy it even more :)
This song is not understanding when someone seems perfect for you that that person isn't interested in you. Going through that now, but I wonder what my future self would say about me. The pain probably isn't worth it.
+FMAiscool Kinda going through that right now haha Sucks, if you would take a bullet for her and she sees you(depending on her ???) as something between an acquaintance and a good friend...
+GamerChannelOne If you've told her, then it doesn't. Just gotta be open with how you feel, that's all. If she doesn't like you, she doesn't. Great song either way.
+MrRedxarcher Thats actually a really cute story. Now im not really a religious person- if this is considered religion- but i guess if its meant to be, then it will. :) I hope someday she dumps that boy who cant even tell her that shes perfect the way she is, rather than tell her her hobbies are "weird", and finds someone who can tell her that shes perfect to them. Like you, i assume x) x
I used to share this song to a guy i liked who got friendzoned by a girl.. and in a way i was being friendzoned by him.. So i told him this describe his situation but really.. it described mine..We end up getting together.. lasted for a good 2 years.. I never told him about this..
I always come back to this song. I used to think the guy was saying no matter how hard he tried to be perfect he was never good enough in his own eyes. I thought it was about searching for self love because he changed the subject from “he” to “I” in the last chorus. Now I know it was about unrequited love.
I love to go back too, great time for music, video games, fashion and Wrestling was great to see too and the Country was not going through problems like what is mentioned here except dealing with a President that humped anything that moved but i miss them as much as anyone else here
“Out of the island Into the highway Past the places where you might have turned you never did notice you still hide away Anger of angels that won't return” this part is talking about how she could have made different choices, and taken different paths so she could end up somewhere other than the mess she is stuck in now. “Anger of Angels that won’t return.Im not for sure what this part means,but I kinda think shes angry that the people that were once good for her are gone and not coming back.
Thanks for a great video. I really appreciate the easily contrasting colors and uncluttered background, and most importantly, that the lyrics appeared on screen before they were already sung. I wish all lyric videos understood this.
Oh this song, it expresses the emotions felt when people deeply love someone but that person is in love with another... and no matter what you try or how painfully obvious you feel yourself as the better choice, they stay with their partner. Depressingly calm, is how i would say i feel after listen to this song. It really is the epitome of friendzoning someone- this should be its anthem!
This was the first song I was ever into. When I was 5 my grandpa gave me a casset player and a casset with a bunch of nysc, britney spears, and vertical horizens songs. I used to listen to this song on repeat for hours.
It's a sad day when it's 3 am and this song is the only thing keeping me from crying over a girl I've been after for 4 years.. this some is my life in a nut shell
I feel your pain man I was like that once also, but the time I finally had a chance with this one girl I been after since High School it didn't feel right and I didn't know why at the time until later on I realized she wasn't the one I really wanted just cuz we had history growing up together being next door to eachother and I'm still learning til this very day just remember to listen to you're own heart and guts and in the end it'll be golden and you stay golden
Thank you for the words. They play this at work (part of repeated playlist) and I sing along as I'm somewhat familiar.with it. Now I have the lyrics to help me out. It drove me nuts until i could think of the band.
For some reason KJEE 92.9 in Santa Barbara, CA would always play this and like clockwork right after it would be Push by Matchbox 20. To this day I can't hear the end of this song without thinking about the beginning of push right afterwards
This to me is Jesus as an angel speaking. I've seen a few hit it but usually only few get something when it's truly meaningful. You can definitely apply that to a natural or humanistic relationship where it's about a male companion feeling like he means nothing to whomever he singing about even though he provides for the person all that a true companion does...namely because the song is not a Christian song. But to me it definitely speaks moreso spiritually, especially when he says "I'm everything inside of you that you wish you could be". It's like he saying this person seems to not realize how in love he is with them and how they seem to not acknowledge how he comforts them when this other person berates and demeans them. This is so true of me. Jesus was the last person on my mind. And funny thing is he would be the one to send a word of comfort in the word, preaching at church, or sometimes in an uncommon way when the person mistreating me was getting all of the affection and appreciation. God is a jealous God
This is a very powerful piece of music on the work of art. I'm not religious but it's kind of like a song about Jesus... I love it when songs have a different meanings like that where you could interpret it many different ways that's what makes something really classic when you can listen to it at different times in your life and it has different meaning and they're all special.
I think I was about 12 or 13 when this song came out. Both me and my dad really liked it, and I have so many memories of him driving with me in his old truck and this song playing on the radio. Simpler times. I miss them.
I hear people saying that there relationship was just like this song. You are all missing the point, she NEVER gave him the chance to be with her. She just would hook up with another bad boy, she knew he would be always there to vent over and over again. She is a psychic vampire. And the guy is to weak to let her go. I was that guy in my early 20’s. Thank God I grew a pair and left that toxic “friendship “.
Fishbelt Gaming I personally think that Carlie Rae Jepsen's song "I really really really really really really like you" is the ultimate friend zone song.
It’s so true when you love someone and the person just keeps ignoring for someone else. Can feel the pain the singer must have gone through when he penned it.
This is how I feel about Jesus. I could just here Him telling me: "I'm everything you want, I'm everything you need. I'm everything inside of you that you wish you could be. I say all the right things at exactly the right time...... But I mean nothing to you and you don't know why." I head this song when I was like 6, and I loved it. It wasn't until I was twelve that it took on more meaning. I just heard it like that one day... I'm sure it means something else to other people, but, well, this is why I love it.
OMG i havent heard this song in AGES. It use to come on the radio all the time back in like 5th grade along with 3 am-Match box 20 and Here's to the Night- Eve 6 and a few others.
Story of my life. I always tried to do the right thing. Treat people like i wanted to be treated. It took me 30 years to find the right person. I love you Stephanie.
Maybe because deep down you knew you couldnt and there was something missing even though he was everything he just wasnt everything and that part of you you need you know?
Might I suggest it was as simply as you weren't in love with him? People can look great on paper, but if the chemistry isn't there... it's simply not there.
Wow this just gave me butterflies in my stomach do to the nostalgic overload. The 90's was so awesome no mainstream cell phones, facebook, Instagram, or bullshit internet celebrities.
I was 9 years old when this song came on...I first heard this when I used to live in middle east (Kuwait) on FM. It was a popular repeat song...amazing lyrics...it makes you feel vulnerable towards feelings of love and Betrayal.
High school days never thought i'd Miss you like crazy! When i was young, full of life, full of dreams, full of hope, heart was also not broken... Anyways life happens!
I've heard this song way back when I was in Texas. My mom mad us leave in 2000 and I didn't want to leave, and after all of those years, 90's songs like this give me that nostalgic feel where I've been super happy in one place for whatever reason. Experiencing Texas again because of my great friend in Texas talking to me, my happiness returned because I remember where I came from. :3
I AM that guy. Ladies, I need to hear more than I'm a sweet guy. If a woman doesn't feel the same way about me as I feel about her, fine, but why does she have to rub it in my face? It's even worse, when there is a mutual attraction there, and you legitimately do love them, but they just like you, but for whatever reason they don't want to be with you, and I know this happens because it's happened to me and the women involved have admitted it. I know I'm being a little hard on the fairer sex, but this is just my experience. I have literally hundreds of things that I've written about unrequited love, and I'm not just talking about music I have written, though I definitely have that. Since I was 17 years old, since I was 17 years old, this has been a constant in my life. I'm in my early 30s. It's kind of hard to get married and have kids when the only love you have is unrequited love. When I haven't seen a woman in a long time, and she's been going through a hard time, and her first reaction is to jump up and wrap her arms around me, because I'm like almost a foot taller than her , and just squeeze like she doesn't want to let go, that sends mixed signals. When she tells you she's attracted to you, but again does not want to be with you, what the hell am I? When she tells you that she's afraid that her boyfriend is going to start beating her, but she stays with him. And no matter what you say, she's not going to listen because of how you feel about her , you can be jealous and still be right. (although I would advise against jealousy). I love this woman to death, and I accept she's had a hard life, but so have I. I don't mind her not being with me, but I don't want her to be with someone she thinks is going to beat her. C'est la vie, mais porquoi?
She probably feels she isnt good enough for you. Probably feels you deserve someone better than her. Woman can be strange but ive seen that happen before and that be the cause. If it makes you feel any better ,even if you got with her shed probably be too damaged to stay with you for long. Maybe im wrong idk. I highly doubt youll be able to help someone that doesnt want it. Only she can be brave and leave him. If i were you id take my mind off of it.
Adam yes you can be jealous and be right but you being jealous just makes her feel more confused and stressed out so she just doesn’t want to hear it from you
I used to listen this song everyday some years ago and I just noticed that I never truly listened to the lyrics.....or at least now I understand the feels....
Man am i the only one who loves the internet community? The trolls, the hilarious mean comments, the keyboard warriors hiding behind annonyminity. The fact every comment section has so many bring out the popcorn moments. MAY THE INTERNET NEVER CHANGE!

Or atleast one of
No it hasn't you just got older, it's called nostalgia.

For me it was the second. It didn't last, of course.
Never realized how much this song fit me. Opening up old wounds, but I seem to do that more and more these days. Its weird still being so heartbroken over someone I was never actually with, but I guess love does that to you...
exact same experience. Love Is very powerful. Also in my case I was also blinded by love.
I know how you feel. Its like, how do you try to get over someone who was never really yours? These "almost" relationships are killing me.

Oh this song, it expresses the emotions felt when people deeply love someone but that person is in love with another... and no matter what you try or how painfully obvious you feel yourself as the better choice, they stay with their partner. Depressingly calm, is how i would say i feel after listen to this song. It really is the epitome of friendzoning someone- this should be its anthem!
Intrepid Dreamer makes me think of sorrow and despair from my yester years. Yet it is also soothing.
It feels good again to listen 90's alternative music. They are part of my life. Incredible
This was the first song I was ever into. When I was 5 my grandpa gave me a casset player and a casset with a bunch of nysc, britney spears, and vertical horizens songs. I used to listen to this song on repeat for hours.
No nude ... No exspensive car ... Just skill ... Its 90' music ... Best of the best music... Gold generation ..
It's a sad day when it's 3 am and this song is the only thing keeping me from crying over a girl I've been after for 4 years.. this some is my life in a nut shell
I know the feeling!
Ian Warunek it's been 2 years you ever get her?
Whoo Youu I can relate
Fool
I feel your pain man I was like that once also, but the time I finally had a chance with this one girl I been after since High School it didn't feel right and I didn't know why at the time until later on I realized she wasn't the one I really wanted just cuz we had history growing up together being next door to eachother and I'm still learning til this very day just remember to listen to you're own heart and guts and in the end it'll be golden and you stay golden
The official Friendzone song
Officially not a friend zone song lol
Official friendzone song is Friendzoned by S3RL
Thank you for the words. They play this at work (part of repeated playlist) and I sing along as I'm somewhat familiar.with it. Now I have the lyrics to help me out. It drove me nuts until i could think of the band.
Hey charming! What an astonishing smile you got here.Just looking for an old friend here, when i stumbled on your profile.
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!
Sometimes I wish I could turn back time and go back to the way we were :(
Hello, How are you?
ahh memories. 1988, 90's kid!! LOVE this song.
I just love when a song gives that feeling like your right back in time now it just gives me goosebumps
For some reason KJEE 92.9 in Santa Barbara, CA would always play this and like clockwork right after it would be Push by Matchbox 20. To this day I can't hear the end of this song without thinking about the beginning of push right afterwards
I listened to this song when I was reading PJO's first book. Now I'm a huge fan of the series :D
Me,too!
This song caused commotion for me while growing. Couldn't get the lyrics off my head. One of the best songs I have heard.
This to me is Jesus as an angel speaking. I've seen a few hit it but usually only few get something when it's truly meaningful. You can definitely apply that to a natural or humanistic relationship where it's about a male companion feeling like he means nothing to whomever he singing about even though he provides for the person all that a true companion does...namely because the song is not a Christian song. But to me it definitely speaks moreso spiritually, especially when he says "I'm everything inside of you that you wish you could be". It's like he saying this person seems to not realize how in love he is with them and how they seem to not acknowledge how he comforts them when this other person berates and demeans them. This is so true of me. Jesus was the last person on my mind. And funny thing is he would be the one to send a word of comfort in the word, preaching at church, or sometimes in an uncommon way when the person mistreating me was getting all of the affection and appreciation. God is a jealous God
Song never gets old!
My mum always has always said to marry your best friend. She did and has been happily married for over 35 years..
This takes me wayyy back to those good ol days
This is a very powerful piece of music on the work of art. I'm not religious but it's kind of like a song about Jesus... I love it when songs have a different meanings like that where you could interpret it many different ways that's what makes something really classic when you can listen to it at different times in your life and it has different meaning and they're all special.
A friend of mine tweaked this song so that the intro was longer, I have it on disc somewhere, it's pretty cool.
the friend zone song
Leel
Why did I think of Jacksfilms when I read that xD
+Christianna Lieberenz pfft he should tots include it in YIAY sometime.
😁😁😁 right
love my haters
I bet back in the day teenage girls would listen to this song after friend zoning some poor sucker.
I think I was about 12 or 13 when this song came out. Both me and my dad really liked it, and I have so many memories of him driving with me in his old truck and this song playing on the radio. Simpler times. I miss them.
Miss these kind of songs... 😊
I love the drums on this song
Gonna see this band on Saturday
I hear people saying that there relationship was just like this song. You are all missing the point, she NEVER gave him the chance to be with her. She just would hook up with another bad boy, she knew he would be always there to vent over and over again. She is a psychic vampire. And the guy is to weak to let her go. I was that guy in my early 20’s. Thank God I grew a pair and left that toxic “friendship “.
Older music definitely hits harder. Anything before 2010 is the prime
definitely feeling this song today
Came here because supposedly this is the best friendzone song...
Lies.
It is. Still love this song.
Fishbelt Gaming I personally think that Carlie Rae Jepsen's song "I really really really really really really like you" is the ultimate friend zone song.
Fishbelt Gaming that makes two of us haha
Teddy James exactly
It’s so true when you love someone and the person just keeps ignoring for someone else. Can feel the pain the singer must have gone through when he penned it.
This son takes me back to my good old days. Like it.
This is how I feel about Jesus. I could just here Him telling me:
"I'm everything you want, I'm everything you need. I'm everything inside of you that you wish you could be. I say all the right things at exactly the right time......
But I mean nothing to you and you don't know why."
I head this song when I was like 6, and I loved it. It wasn't until I was twelve that it took on more meaning. I just heard it like that one day...
I'm sure it means something else to other people, but, well, this is why I love it.
iTyncWithReality same here. I appreciate this post so much
I thought this was a song about Jesus too, but I don't know.
live4marilyn So you think you're superior to Jesus? I like that
iTyncWithReality I also feel that way Jesus is disappionted at us but we don't really care
You can't know him unless your fed the word. Waiting for the end, waiting to hear him speak and he is within us.
What truly hurts is not even being considered a friend to the person you love
OMG i havent heard this song in AGES. It use to come on the radio all the time back in like 5th grade along with 3 am-Match box 20 and Here's to the Night- Eve 6 and a few others.
Story of my life. I always tried to do the right thing. Treat people like i wanted to be treated. It took me 30 years to find the right person. I love you Stephanie.
This song reminds me of a man I almost married, he was beautiful and perfect, treated me like a princess but i couldnt marry him and i dont know why
if i guess id say you felt like you didnt deserve it in a wierd kinda way
Cause you're an idiot
Maybe because deep down you knew you couldnt and there was something missing even though he was everything he just wasnt everything and that part of you you need you know?
Might I suggest it was as simply as you weren't in love with him?
People can look great on paper, but if the chemistry isn't there... it's simply not there.
Lol you fucked up
ULTIMATE FRIEND ZONE SONG
TOO BAD I CANT HEAR IT OVER THE SOUND OF MY SOBS ABOUT HOW MY FRIEND DOES NOT LIKE ME ROMANTICALLY
:( same here !
i hear you meng.
Hit me right in the feels brother. *bro hug*
I feel ya. =/
I understand wholeheartedly. I always find myself more angry than sad though. At least you're not gay and in love with a straight man.
this is the ultimate friend zone song
This is so my life right now I can't even say how perfect this song is.
When it changes from "he" to "I"...best part 😊
This is literally the story of my life. Hope it changes for me real soon... same for everyone else going through the similar stuff
Looks like it changed for you. Happy in the future
Echoes of angels who won’t return… best line
This is one of my favorite songs I have ever heard. I could listen to this song for hours on end.
"LMAO it's crazy how this song is essentially the epitome of 90's Contemporary Rock in a nutshell"
Wow this just gave me butterflies in my stomach do to the nostalgic overload. The 90's was so awesome no mainstream cell phones, facebook, Instagram, or bullshit internet celebrities.
I was 9 years old when this song came on...I first heard this when I used to live in middle east (Kuwait) on FM. It was a popular repeat song...amazing lyrics...it makes you feel vulnerable towards feelings of love and Betrayal.
Played this for my best friend and now we are together
This song is nostalgic i remember blastin this all the time when i was little Good times. Good times...
High school days never thought i'd Miss you like crazy! When i was young, full of life, full of dreams, full of hope, heart was also not broken... Anyways life happens!
Gosh you sound like me. They were just better days. No work or worries.
One of my fav tracks of all time. Used to just wait for it on radio!
I've heard this song way back when I was in Texas. My mom mad us leave in 2000 and I didn't want to leave, and after all of those years, 90's songs like this give me that nostalgic feel where I've been super happy in one place for whatever reason. Experiencing Texas again because of my great friend in Texas talking to me, my happiness returned because I remember where I came from. :3
I AM that guy. Ladies, I need to hear more than I'm a sweet guy. If a woman doesn't feel the same way about me as I feel about her, fine, but why does she have to rub it in my face? It's even worse, when there is a mutual attraction there, and you legitimately do love them, but they just like you, but for whatever reason they don't want to be with you, and I know this happens because it's happened to me and the women involved have admitted it. I know I'm being a little hard on the fairer sex, but this is just my experience. I have literally hundreds of things that I've written about unrequited love, and I'm not just talking about music I have written, though I definitely have that. Since I was 17 years old, since I was 17 years old, this has been a constant in my life. I'm in my early 30s. It's kind of hard to get married and have kids when the only love you have is unrequited love. When I haven't seen a woman in a long time, and she's been going through a hard time, and her first reaction is to jump up and wrap her arms around me, because I'm like almost a foot taller than her , and just squeeze like she doesn't want to let go, that sends mixed signals. When she tells you she's attracted to you, but again does not want to be with you, what the hell am I? When she tells you that she's afraid that her boyfriend is going to start beating her, but she stays with him. And no matter what you say, she's not going to listen because of how you feel about her , you can be jealous and still be right. (although I would advise against jealousy). I love this woman to death, and I accept she's had a hard life, but so have I. I don't mind her not being with me, but I don't want her to be with someone she thinks is going to beat her. C'est la vie, mais porquoi?
She probably feels she isnt good enough for you. Probably feels you deserve someone better than her. Woman can be strange but ive seen that happen before and that be the cause. If it makes you feel any better ,even if you got with her shed probably be too damaged to stay with you for long. Maybe im wrong idk. I highly doubt youll be able to help someone that doesnt want it. Only she can be brave and leave him. If i were you id take my mind off of it.
Adam yes you can be jealous and be right but you being jealous just makes her feel more confused and stressed out so she just doesn’t want to hear it from you
I used to listen this song everyday some years ago and I just noticed that I never truly listened to the lyrics.....or at least now I understand the feels....
Man am i the only one who loves the internet community? The trolls, the hilarious mean comments, the keyboard warriors hiding behind annonyminity. The fact every comment section has so many bring out the popcorn moments. MAY THE INTERNET NEVER CHANGE!
I forgot about this group & how much I used to love this song
