The song "You'll Come Around" by Emma Pollock explores the theme of a strained relationship and the narrator's frustration with the other person's unpredictable behavior. The lyrics depict a situation where the narrator feels like they are being left behind and replaced by someone else. The song begins by describing the other person as an "ugly girl" who takes another girl home and allows her to experience a friendship that she had never known before. The narrator feels left out and hurt by this. The girl in question seems to make up games and jokes, but the narrator is not in the mood to laugh along. Their life feels like it has been completely disrupted and someone has "hatcheted" it away. The chorus expresses the narrator's confusion and longing for answers. No matter how hard they try to understand, the other person always tells them goodbye and leaves without explaining why. The narrator is left wondering why they keep running off without any explanation. The second verse reveals that the other person couldn't stand the fact that the narrator and someone else were close. They try to separate the two and chase the narrator away, causing them pain. The other person seems to have a strong belief that their way is the only way, and anyone who doesn't fit will be discarded. The bridge of the song highlights the other person's preoccupation with strangers and the narrator's realization that they have had enough of the relationship. They feel like they are being ignored and that the other person always seems to prioritize others over them. Despite the frustrations and hurt, the chorus repeats with the hope that the other person will come around again. The narrator knows that there are moments when they think they've almost lost them, but they continue to ignore the situation. The repetition of "You'll come around" expresses a longing for reconciliation and a belief that things may improve in the future. Overall, "You'll Come Around" is a song that delves into the complexities of a troubled relationship characterized by unpredictability, frustration, and a desire for understanding and resolution.
