Thanks to You Lyrics
Thanks to you, I'm moving on
Chasing out my skeletons and the troubles they have caused
And all thanks to you
I'm turning over the pages in this book of revelations about self-medication
[Pre-Chorus]
But there's this ringing in my head
(Who said it was gonna be easy?)
As the ghost of you hangs over my bed
[Chorus]
Thanks to you I'm not myself
I'm all strung out, that much is clear
And I'll spend my whole lifetime
With your life-line wrapped around my throat
Thanks to you, all thanks to you
[Verse 2]
Thanks to you I've lost my touch
I struggle to find the sense in making sense
And giving a semblance of a fuck
And thanks to you for all the nightmares
There's not a night that I sleep quiet and complacent without my medication
Because there's this ringing in my head
Who said it was gonna be easy?
As the ghost of you hangs over my bed
Thanks to you I'm not myself
I'm all strung out, that much is clear
And I'll spend my whole lifetime
With your life-line wrapped around my throat
Thanks to you, all thanks to you
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Pre-Chorus]
But there's this ringing in my head
As the ghost of you hangs over my bed
[Chorus]
Thanks to you I'm not myself
I'm all strung out, that much is clear
And I'll spend my whole lifetime
With your life-line wrapped around my throat
Thanks to you, all thanks to you
[Outro]
Thanks to you
Thanks to you
Thanks to you
Thanks to you
About
This song is about a painful breakup. It is full of sarcasm – repeating the phrase “thanks to you” throughout the whole song. Usually, when someone uses the phrase “thanks to you”, it suggests that they are expressing their gratitude for something they have done for them. However, in this song, the phrase is clearly used sarcastically. The actions of this individual have clearly caused pain for the person singing the song.
However, the song unlike other breakup songs – instead of blaming the individual, the singer focuses on what has changed for him/her as a result of their actions. Hence, the song is more like a mockery and more or less similar to a rant in a joking manner.
