Low
Craving the Unattainable: Art School Girlfriend's 'Low' Reflection
Lyrics
I wanted
The speaker desired something.
Everything
The speaker desired abundance or completeness.
That I could not have
The speaker desired things that were unattainable.
Once my name
There was a time when the speaker's name held significance or meaning.
Was my name
Reiteration of the significance or identity linked to the speaker's name.
I take it off when
The speaker metaphorically removes a facade or pretense when allowed access by someone else.
You let me in
When permitted or accepted, the speaker reveals their true self.
It's never enough
Despite revealing themselves, it's never sufficient.
It's all the same
Everything seems unchanged or repetitive.
It's all the same
(Repeated) Everything remains the same.
I wanted
Reiteration of the speaker's desire for something.
Everything
Repetition of the desire for abundance or completeness.
That I could not have
Desiring unattainable things is reiterated.
I take it off when
Similar to line 7, metaphorically removing a mask or pretense when allowed in.
You let me in
Again, revealing the true self when given access.
It's never enough
Despite revealing themselves, it's still inadequate.
It's all the same
Repetition emphasizing the stagnant nature of things, the repetitiveness of the situation.
It's all the same
-It's all the same
-It's all the same
-It's all the same
-It's all the same
-It's never enough
Regardless of the disclosure, it's perpetually insufficient.
