Guilty Party Lyrics

You're sleeping night and day
How d'you do it?
Me I am wide awake
Feeling defeated

I say your name
I say I'm sorry
I know it's not working
I'm no holiday
It's nobody's fault
No guilty party
We just got nothing
Nothing left to say

Another year gets away
Another summer of love
I don't know why I care
We miss it every summer

I say your name
I say I'm sorry
I'm the one doing this
There's no other way
It's nobody's fault
No guilty party
I just got nothing, nothing left to say

It all, all catches up to me
It all, all catches up to me all the time

I say your name
I say I'm sorry
I know it's not working, I'm no holiday
It's nobody's fault
No guilty party
We just got nothing, nothing left to say

I say your name
I say I'm sorry
I'm the one doing this, there's no other way
It's nobody's fault
No guilty party
I just got nothing, nothing left to say

It all, all just catches up to me
It all, all catches up to me all the time

What is the Meaning of Guilty Party?

This poignant track by The National delves into the emotional aftermath of a failed relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of regret, guilt, and longing for what once was. The repeated line "I say your name, I say I'm sorry" indicates that the singer feels responsible for the breakup but acknowledges that there's no one to blame - "It's nobody's fault, No guilty party." The phrase "It all catches up to me" suggests that the singer is haunted by his past actions and their consequences. Despite this remorse, he admits they have nothing left to say to each other, signifying an acceptance of the end of their relationship. This song beautifully encapsulates the complexity and pain of romantic dissolution.
