Verse 1

We were explosive

But apparently not so exclusive

Lying was your expertise

And you don't forget your exes

Prechorus 1

Cause I know that you're watching

At my posts all the time

Want some popcorn with that?

Cause you won't see more of me

Chorus 1

Now that you're gone, gone

It doesn't bother me that much anymore

Now that you're gone, gone

You were just a stupid idea

And now I'm screaming: 'Bye-bye, it's over

Between you and me, me, forever'

I wish myself the best

Now that you're gone

Verse 2

You say you can do better

Well, that's quite a shame then

There won't be a second chance

So show it to someone else then

Prechorus 2

And I know that you're watching

At my posts, all the time

Want some popcorn with that?

Cause you won't see more of me

Chorus 2

Now that you're gone, gone

It doesn't bother me that much anymore

Now that you're gone, gone

You were just a stupid idea

And now I'm screaming: 'Bye-bye, it's over

Between you and me, me, forever'

I wish myself the best

Now that you're gone

Bridge

And a part of me secretly hopes

That you'll someday be at my door again

So that I can once again

Slam it shut in your face

Outro

So now I'm saying: 'Bye-bye, it's over

Between you and me, me, forever'

I wish myself the best

Now that you're gone

dichtslaan — to slam shut

Dichtslaan means 'to slam shut' or 'to close forcefully'. It's a vivid and active verb that conveys strong emotion, far beyond simply 'closing' something.

In the song, the artist sings, "Zodat ik 'm dan volgens weer in jouw gezicht kan dichtslaan" (So that I can then slam it shut in your face again). This powerful imagery perfectly captures the feeling of anger and finality after a breakup, making it a memorable and impactful word.

This is the ultimate post-breakup anthem for anyone who's been lied to! Camille sings about a relationship that was "explosief" [explosive] but definitely not "exclusief" [exclusive]. Her ex was an expert at lying and couldn't get over his past relationships, so she's moved on and is feeling great about it.

She knows he's still watching her social media posts and has a hilarious, sassy question for him: "Wil je popcorn erbij?" [Want some popcorn with that?]. She's putting on a show of her new, better life, and that's all he gets to see. The best part is the twist at the end. She admits she secretly hopes he shows up at her door again, but only so she can slam it right in his face. It's a powerful and funny song about wishing yourself the best after leaving a bad situation behind.
