Lewis Truest: Seeking Connections, Lost in Disguise
Lyrics
First name Lewis, last name Truest
Introducing the character as Lewis Truest.
All he wanted to do was connect
Desire to establish connections.
Nothing for sale in his email
No intention of selling in his communication.
Just an inquiry about what would work for my
Asking about scheduling preferences.
Schedule
Reference to the speaker's schedule.
So I told him, whole day's open
Offering an entire day for connection.
All he sent back to me was a Staples coupon
Response received: a Staples coupon instead of engagement.
Where'd you go man, thought this could be something
Expressing disappointment at the lack of follow-through.
I don't care that your name is made up
Disregarding the fact that Lewis Truest might be a fabricated name.
Lewis Truest, FML I knew it
Exclaiming frustration and realization about Lewis Truest's disappearance.
You've gone away just like everyone else
Comparing Lewis Truest's departure to others in the speaker's life.
What the hell
Expressing confusion and frustration at the situation.
Can't believe it, should have seen it
Regret and acknowledgment of not foreseeing the situation.
That is what my therapist has said to me
Referring to therapy and seeking guidance for understanding.
Robot or not, he's in my thoughts
Acknowledging Lewis Truest's impact, whether human or robot.
L-Dog will always, always be real to me
Insisting on Lewis Truest's significance despite potential artificiality.
Where'd you go man, thought this could be something
Repeating the disappointment at the unfulfilled potential connection.
I don't care that your name is made up
Reiterating indifference to the possibly false name.
Lewis Truest, FML I knew it
Reemphasizing frustration and realization about Lewis Truest's disappearance.
You've gone away just like everyone else
Comparing Lewis Truest's departure to others in the speaker's life.
What the hell
Expressing ongoing confusion and frustration.
First my cousin killed my trust in
Reflecting on past experiences that eroded trust.
Everyone related to me
Loss of trust due to actions of family members.
Then my girlfriend just upended
Girlfriend's actions negatively impacting the speaker's emotions.
All the love that was inside of me
Describing emotional upheaval caused by the girlfriend.
Don't be like them, be like my gem
Encouraging others to be different, to be a positive influence.
I need someone, I need company
Expressing the need for companionship and understanding.
(I need someone, I need company)
Repeating the desire for someone to be with and provide company.
Lewis Truest, please don't do this
Pleading with Lewis Truest not to sever the last connection.
You're the last connection that I see
Recognizing Lewis Truest as the last significant connection.
That I see
Reiterating the importance of this connection.
Mmm
Interjection expressing emotion.
So verbatim, sent this to him
Describing sending a message verbatim to Lewis Truest.
Reply said "thank you for choosing Staples,
Staples reply, revealing the speaker's name as Henry.
Henry"
Noting the commercial nature of the reply.
Where'd you go man, thought this could be something
Repeating the disappointment at the unfulfilled potential connection.
I don't care that your name is made up
Reiterating indifference to the possibly false name.
(I don't care that your name is made up)
Repeating frustration and realization about Lewis Truest's disappearance.
Lewis Truest, FML I knew it
Comparing Lewis Truest's departure to others in the speaker's life.
You've gone away just like everyone else
Expressing ongoing confusion and frustration.
What the hell
Repeating the emotional turmoil and confusion.
What the hell
Expressing frustration and confusion intensely.
What the hell
Intensifying the expression of frustration and confusion.
What the hell
Final exclamation of frustration and confusion.
