I'm sitting here again

In my living room

I'm writing another song for you

And you still don't deserve it

Just so you know right away

It was really easy

I was your number one

And I just wanted you to stay

Do you remember that Schweighöfer movie?

We never watched it to the end

Do you remember the trip to Berlin?

In the end you went alone

I don't pick up when you call me in the night

I don't text back when you ask what I'm doing

I don't listen when you talk about Tinder matches

I hope you hear this song

When you're in bed with your next girl

You always meet twice

And I'd rather never, never again

You always meet twice, twice

Let's please not even once, not again

We split up and then another guy came along

I left him standing there to run back to you

And right now I'm deleting

all your pictures

and the memories too, we won't stay friends

Think back fast to that Poisel lyric

I was trying to tell you what I want from you

What do you think my mom thinks of you now?

I don't pick up when you call me in the night

I don't text back when you ask what I'm doing

I don't listen when you talk about Tinder matches

I hope you hear this song

When you're in bed with your next girl

You always meet twice

And I'd rather never, never again

You always meet twice, twice

Let's please not even once, not again

Babe, I'm writing the ending right now

It's not even hard for me

For the two of us there's absolutely no chance left

I know you wish I was with you right now

But your passenger seat will stay empty

I don't pick up when you call me in the night

I don't text back when you ask what I'm doing

I don't listen when you talk about Tinder matches

I hope you hear this song

When you're in bed with your next girl

You always meet twice

And I'd rather never, never again

You always meet twice, twice

Let's please not even once, not again

SONG MEANING

Ever wished you could press delete on an ex and skip the inevitable awkward reunion? In “2x”, Austrian pop-sensation Mathea turns that universal feeling into a sing-along anthem of self-respect. The title plays on the German saying “Man sieht sich immer zweimal”—you always meet twice—but Mathea flips it on its head, insisting she would rather not meet again at all. Over catchy beats she scrolls through memories of unfinished movies, a solo Berlin trip, and late-night phone calls she now refuses to answer. Every lyric is a mini-snapshot of a relationship that once felt like number one but has slid firmly into the recycle bin.

The song is part heartbreak diary, part empowerment playlist. Mathea deletes photos, ignores Tinder talk, and shuts the door on “let’s stay friends,” showing learners how German phrases can capture big emotions in punchy lines. “2x” is a bold reminder that moving on can be just as melodic as falling in love—and sometimes the best encore is no encore at all.
