  • Yes I do know that I spelled instrumental wrong. I made this for a friend who sang RUclips covers back in high school one day that I was bored. I did not expect to farm 30 mil views from this, but hey that’s cool. I play a lot of Valorant and am in the process of teaching myself music production so stay tuned for content of that sort, much love friends!
    I’m mostly present on here, but give my Twitch a follow if you’d like to see me there!

    The song is about a dysfunctional relationship. The male vocals describe what happened in that relationship from his point of view. It started off well, with the woman very invested in him. However, he was not fulfilled by her. Even though he was unhappy, he remained in the relationship because he was "addicted to a certain kind of sadness" and was resigned to it. In the end, he was dumped by the woman, who took steps to completely remove him from her life, including changing her number and having her friends get her things from his apartment. She did these things even though she had said that they would remain friends. Although he was happy the bad relationship was over, he is hurt by the fact that she now treats him like a stranger without any regard for what they used to have.
    The female vocals then describe the same relationship from her point of view. In her eyes, the relationship was also dysfunctional; he had been somewhat verbally abusive by always blaming her for every problem they had. In addition, he had been hung up on another woman. He had promised that he had gotten over it when in reality he had not. The singer eventually tires of this situation, finding it frustrating and hurtful, and ends the relationship by cutting him off entirely.
    The video symbolizes the story with the paint - Gotye starts off as his current self, reminiscing. As he mentally enters his memories of the old relationship, the paint and lines slowly cover his entire body. Kimbra comes in fully painted (except for her face, which I admit doesn't really fit with my interpretation), indicating that at this point in the song, she is in the relationship with him. She moves closer to him as she breaks up with him, then moves away as she cuts him off. The paint is removed from her body as she moves on with her life. However, Gotye has not yet moved on, so he remains painted.

    "Told myself that you were right for me, but felt so lonely in your company." It hurts when you love someone so bad and you're trying to convince yourself they're meant for you, but that person doesn't care as much as you did and just leaves like nothing. I wish you had been meant for me, you made me so happy, but it just couldn't happen, what did i do wrong? I always made excuses for you and how you acted, it was just a bad day, maybe i annoyed him, he's just like that, but you simply just never cared for me, it never really felt like you were there for me.
