Vocaloid figurines

Reference to Vocaloid figurines, possibly symbolizing a connection to technology or virtual relationships.

Glittery gals in magazines

Mention of glamorous women in magazines, hinting at an idealized perception of beauty and relationships.

Heavy rain and GTA

Association of heavy rain and GTA (Grand Theft Auto) may signify a blend of melancholy and virtual escapism.

Every time I dig it up, it's all the same

Expresses a sense of repetition and monotony in digging up the past, finding it unchanged.

Sleepy eyed on your couch

Being in a state of lethargy or emotional numbness while present with someone.

Memorize the way you move your mouth

Memorizing the other person's movements suggests a desire for intimacy and connection.

We both grew up on the internet, but there are

Growing up on the internet is shared, but there are unresolved aspects or gaps in understanding.

Things I haven't figured out quite yet

-

If you were sitting here on my bed

Imagining a close connection and intimacy, using tactile imagery.

Could I lay beside your pretty head?

-

Use my fingers as a line

-

To draw your face to mine

-

How do I say this to myself

Struggling to articulate feelings, recognizing a lack of self-help, and seeking validation from the other person.

'Cause she's the one who cannot help, you know

-

My words are not enough, need you to

Expressing the inadequacy of words and the need for explicit affirmation from the other person.

Say it's me you want

-

Light it up, I'll watch you go

Observing the other person leave and reflecting on personal mistakes, feeling a sense of loss.

Still can't figure out where I went wrong

-

Guess I should have known all along

-

In your room, feeling like I could cry

Feeling emotional and vulnerable in a private space, yearning for something desired for a long time.

'Cause it's all I've wanted for a while

-

They don't know I'm like this at all

Keeping a hidden aspect of oneself, maintaining a facade to conform to societal expectations.

So I bow my head, keep it pretty small

-

Turn away, you flip the page

Turning away from reality, seeking refuge in nostalgia or an idealized past.

Time to turn back to the golden age

-

Oh!

An exclamation, possibly signaling a shift in emotion or realization.

If you were sitting here on my bed

Reiteration of the desire for intimacy and connection through tactile imagery.

Could I lay beside your pretty head?

-

Use my fingers as a line

-

To draw your face to mine

-

How do I say this to myself

Expressing the difficulty of self-expression and the need for explicit confirmation from the other person.

'Cause she's the one who cannot help, you know

-

My words are not enough, need you to

-

Say it's me you want

-

Light it up, I'll watch you go

Observing the departure of the other person, possibly with a mix of resignation and anticipation.

Bittersweet, bittersweet, bittersweet, cut me open

Repetition of "Bittersweet, cut me open" emphasizes the emotional impact of the experience.

Bittersweet, bittersweet, bittersweet, cut me open

-

The things I love all remind me of you

Reflection on the things that bring joy, intertwined with the pain of a divided self waiting for connection.

And I don't understand why you'd cut me in two

-

One half of me sewn together with string

-

And the other, waiting on my phone to ring

-

But if you like I'll let you sleep

Offering companionship but also expressing a vulnerability and dependence on the other person.

I'm in love with you keeping me company

-

I don't want it to end

Expressing a desire for the current state to continue, even if it involves maintaining a facade.

So I'll keep playing pretend

-

Light it up, I'll watch you go

Observing the departure of the other person with a sense of mixed emotions.

Bittersweet,

-
