"Underdog"
I know something you don't
It comes and goes
Like the strength in your bones, woah
So keep your mind at a rest
I'll never let the two of us be friends
Does it hurt?
Underdog, just look at the mess you made
Its such a shame, a shame
We had to find out this way
You must have the must have moment in your hands
And its sad to think that this season I'm gonna change
Just not face to face
It ain't broke, so don't fix it
Underdog, just look at the mess you made
Its such a shame, a shame
We had to find out this way
Revenge loves company, three makes it a crowd
So wash your mouth, sit this one out
And I'm down,
Down but definitely not out (definitely not out)
Yeah, why did you call me again?
I bet I bet we don't make it (I bet we don't make it)
Cause I never take advice from my (friends)
Friends in very high places
They're only making bets to themselves,
selves they're very, very selfish,
We'll keep you in mind in the end
Underdog, just look at the mess you made
It such a shame, a shame
We had to find out this way
Revenge loves company, three makes it a crowd
So wash your mouth, sit this one out
Music Video Narrative Analysis.
The lyrics of this video are spoken as though through the voice of the person
wronged. In the video a girl can be seen crying as a couple are kissing in the
background, which suggests that she’s been cheated on. The main chorus of this
song seems to address the boy whose been cheating:
Underdog, just look at the mess you made
It’s such a shame, a shame
We had to find out this way
The timing of these lyrics fits in with the shot of the first girl wiping mascara off
of her face as she cries, pointing out ‘the mess’ that he had made and seeing it as
a shame because of the way she found out.The main singer sings the lyrics as
though he’s singing them for the girl whose been wronged, starting the song off
with:
I know something you don't
It comes and goes
Like the strength in your bones, woah
Here he may be referring to the boys strength to resist cheating and how it
comes and goes, resulting in his failure and his girlfriend’s finding out –
something he doesn’t yet know. In the next verse the singer goes on to remark on
how the boy can’t resist what he desires, though he’s apparently often tried to
change in the past:
You must have the must have moment in your hands
And its sad to think that this season I'm gonna change
Just not face to face
The verse ends with the line:
It ain't broke, so don't fix it
Just as the girl whose been cheated on get’s up to confront the boy. Throughout
the next and longest verse the girl can been seen dancing on her own on an
empty stage, which fits to the music. This scene could be a metaphor for her
building up her strength to let him go and think of her self. This fits with the
lyrics:
And I'm down,
Down but definitely not out (definitely not out)
The next lines foreshadow what the girl is about to do as, in the video, her
dancing moves from ballet to more drastic moves to match her feelings as their
argument goes on. All the while the video cuts back to the other girl who’s in the
bathroom applying lip-gloss and admiring herself. The lyrics:
I bet I bet we don't make it (I bet we don't make it)
And; They're only making bets to themselves,
selves they're very, very selfish,
Shows the main girls progressive thought track as it gets more and more
negative, which leads up to the cuts of her arguing with the boy turning to her
kissing the boy in a way to sabotage either relationship that the boy had a chance
of having. The last chorus is being sang as the second girl comes out of the
bathroom and starts crying as she see’s the boy kissing the first girl. As the
chorus and the song finishes it shows the first girl watch the second walk away,
and then follows her – leaving the boy alone.
