In Carly Rae Jepsen's track, the lyrics explore the disintegration of a romantic relationship through a satirical and somewhat cynical lens. The phrase "Let's be friends then never speak again" encapsulates the paradox often found in breakups where parting individuals offer platitudes of friendship as a facade for ending all communication. This song cleverly uses irony to highlight how such gestures can mask true feelings of relief or disdain following a breakup. Jepsen's use of casual dialogue and references to tarot cards further introduces an element of superficiality and fate, suggesting that sometimes, the end of relationships is both inevitable and trivialized by societal norms. Overall, the track provides a humorous yet poignant commentary on the modern approach to ending romantic relationships.
Let's Be Friends
Lyrics
Call out your persuasions
I got the feeling that you don't know what to say
It's a, a black dress occasion
Nobody's dying, it's a dinner not a date, but I
Feel young and inspired
That this is over and I'm hoping you'll agree so I
Phase out and smile over
That little phrase, it isn't you, baby, it's me
So take the tarot card and tell a fortune gold
The past heartbreaks, the lies we told, we tell again
Let's be friends then never speak again
It's cool, we can just pretend
We're friends and never speak again
See you soon, hope we can remain good friends
You take it, the bottle down
Man, this is easier than how I thought it'd go
You're smiling like a devil
You tell me you were coming here to let me know that
It's over when it's over
And it's over, baby
So take the tarot card and tell a fortune gold
The past heartbreaks, the lies we told, we tell again
Let's be friends then never speak again
It's cool, we can just pretend
We're friends and never speak again
See you soon, hope we can remain good friends
(Catch you later)
Never gonna see you again
(See you never)
Let's be friends
(Catch you later)
Never gonna see you again
(See you never)
I had a really nice time with you
I mean, you're sort of a dick sometimes but
Someone out there is surely gonna love a dick
Uh, check please?
Let's be friends then never speak again
It's cool, we can just pretend
We're friends and never speak again
See you soon, hope we can remain good friends
(Catch you later)
Never gonna see you again
(I'll see you never)
Let's be friends
(Catch you later)
Never gonna see you again
(I'll see you never)
Let's be friends
Let's be friends
Let's be
Friends
Not really though
