Wrong Way (feat. Alexander Stewart)

Two Friends' song 'Wrong Way (feat. Alexander Stewart)' is a poignant exploration of a tumultuous relationship that has come to an end. The lyrics are a direct response to a former lover who had always wanted a song written about them. However, instead of a romantic ballad, the song serves as a cathartic release for the singer, who uses it to express the pain and betrayal they felt during the relationship. The opening lines set the tone, revealing that the song is a long-overdue response, now that the relationship is over and the weight of unspoken words needs to be lifted.

The chorus is particularly striking, as it flips the typical love song narrative on its head. The singer acknowledges that the song is not what the ex-lover would have wanted, but it is brutally honest. The repeated line, 'I hope you take it the wrong way,' suggests a desire for the ex to feel the sting of the words, to understand the hurt they caused. This is further emphasized by the admission that the ex was the best thing the singer will ever lose, indicating a mix of regret and relief.

The second verse delves deeper into the reasons for the breakup, highlighting the ex-lover's deceit and manipulation. The imagery of rolling dice and running out of luck paints a picture of someone who took risks and played games, ultimately leading to their downfall. The singer's hope that the ex hears their voice on repeat on the radio every week is a powerful metaphor for the lingering impact of the relationship and the desire for the ex to be reminded of their actions. Overall, 'Wrong Way' is a raw and emotional song that captures the complexities of love, loss, and the need for closure.
