Embracing New Beginnings: A Journey of Self-Discovery
Malcolm Todd's song "Mr. Incorrect" delves into the emotional rollercoaster of ending a relationship and the subsequent journey of self-discovery and empowerment. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a breakup, where the protagonist initially feels the sting of rejection but quickly transitions into a phase of self-affirmation and newfound freedom. The repeated line, "Babe, I don't wanna talk, I give you my love, you tell me goodbye," encapsulates the initial heartbreak and the abrupt end of a romantic connection.
As the song progresses, the protagonist's tone shifts from sorrow to a sense of liberation. The lines, "And now I feel great, I got a new friend who kisses my face," signify the beginning of a new chapter, where the protagonist finds solace and happiness in new relationships and experiences. This transformation is further emphasized by the refrain, "I'm good, I'm doing alright, I don't gotta call, we don't gotta fight," highlighting the relief and peace that comes with moving on from a tumultuous relationship.
The chorus, "I thought I was right, but you're never wrong," reflects a moment of introspection and acceptance. It suggests that the protagonist has come to terms with the fact that the relationship was not meant to be and that both parties had their own perspectives and faults. The song concludes with a sense of defiance and self-assurance, as the protagonist declares, "I'd tell you I miss you, but I'm in a rush, don't tell me my problems, I don't give a fuck." This final sentiment underscores the protagonist's determination to focus on their own growth and happiness, leaving the past behind.
