Fomo
FOMO: A Tale of Missed Moments and Unwavering Friendship
Lyrics
Oh won’t you tell me what I missed, while you were climbing up there last night
Asking for an explanation of what was experienced or occurred while the person was absent during the previous night's events.
You shouldn’t treat your friends like this
Expressing disapproval for how friends were treated.
“And after all that we have been through”
Quoting a statement expressing a sentiment about the shared experiences between the speaker and someone else.
I’d say the night looked red when we stood up there
Describing a moment when things seemed intense or significant.
But since you missed out, you couldn’t care less
Because the person wasn't present, they couldn't have cared less about the intense moment mentioned earlier.
The night looked red--it was sink or swim
Reiterating the intensity of the night, implying a decisive moment.
So I’ll pull my head out from the water
Expressing a desire to survive or overcome a challenging situation.
She wants the scriptures on the walls
Describing someone's desire for meaningful messages or guidance.
Spend each night roaming the hall
Indicating spending nights wandering around aimlessly.
Since we won’t be here in the fall
Acknowledging an imminent departure from a place by fall.
Just to make it up to you
Committing to making amends or compensating for a previous situation.
I wrote this song
Attributing the creation of a song to making amends.
She’s diagnosed with “fear of missing out”
Describing someone with a fear of missing out on experiences.
But little does she know, i will never let her down
Assuring support and reliability to the person with the fear of missing out.
Black hair, plaid skirt
Describing physical attributes of a person, possibly hinting at a specific individual.
Just goes to show you can’t cover up what hurts
Implying that attempts to hide emotional pain through appearance are futile.
We write on all the vents and walls
Highlighting a shared activity of writing on surfaces as a form of belonging.
The only place where we belong
Stating that the place where they write is the only place they feel they fit in.
And we won’t be back here in the fall
Reiterating an imminent departure from a place by fall and the desire to compensate for it.
So just to make it up to you
Reaffirming the commitment to making amends or compensating for a previous situation.
If I don’t make it up to you
Expressing uncertainty about being able to make amends or compensate adequately.
There’s so much left that we can do
Highlighting the existence of potential experiences or actions left to do together.
I hope
Leaving an open-ended sentiment or hope about the future.
