Battery Life's Poignant Reflections on Modern Love
Lyrics
I wanna watch TV with you
I desire to share simple, everyday activities like watching TV with you.
Wanna scroll my feed with you
I wish to engage in casual online activities, such as scrolling through social media, together with you.
I wanna believe in you
I aspire to have faith and trust in you.
I wanna live my life with you
I want to spend my entire life in companionship with you.
And someday, in a fight with you
Even in moments of conflict, I want to be with you.
I want my phone to die for you
I am willing for my phone to run out of battery as a symbolic gesture of dedication and commitment to you.
I want my phone to die for you
-All the words you haven't sent
Unsent words, possibly unexpressed feelings, have an impact, and their absence is felt.
Always hurt, but heaven sent
Despite causing pain, the unsaid words are perceived as something divinely inspired.
When I'm on my last percent
Contemplating the final moments of battery life, questioning if the person will be present in the end.
Will you be the last person?
-Running low on this content
Experiencing a shortage of meaningful content or communication.
Summer of our discontent
Reflecting on a dissatisfying summer, perhaps metaphorically representing a period of discontent.
When I'm on my last percent
Similar to lines 11-12, questioning the presence of the person in the final moments of battery life.
Will you be the last person?
-I wanna be the thing you see
Expressing a desire to be the last thought before sleep, seeking affirmation as a significant presence.
Before you close your eyes to sleep
-Tell me I'm your lock screen dream
-Someday we'll be dead and gone
Contemplating mortality and reminiscing about being ahead of others at Zebulon, suggesting uniqueness.
And all the kids at Zebulon
-We were miles ahead of them
-We were miles ahead of them
-All the words you haven't sent
Reiteration of themes from earlier in the song, emphasizing the importance of the person in the final moments.
Always hurt, but heaven sent
-When I'm on my last percent
-Will you be the last person?
-Running low on this content
-Summer of our discontent
-When I'm on my last percent
-Will you be the last person?
-I was born millennial
Acknowledging generational fears and doubts, possibly related to being a millennial.
So my fears are perennial
-And I got doubts in general
-I want you when the lights go out
Expressing a desire for emotional support during vulnerable moments when lights go out.
To tell me turn my brightness down
-Everything is lighter now
-Everything is lighter now
-All the words you haven't sent
Repeating the theme of running low on meaningful content and questioning the presence of the person in crucial moments.
Always hurt, but heaven sent
-When I'm on my last percent
-Will you be the last person?
-Running low on this content (running low on this content)
-Summer of our discontent (summer of our discontent)
-When I'm on my last percent (when I'm on my last percent)
-Will you be the last person? (Will you be the last person?)
-Running low on this content (I want you when the lights go out)
Reiteration of themes with additional details about wanting support during moments of darkness and brightness.
Summer of our discontent (to tell me turn my brightness down)
-When I'm on my last percent (everything is lighter now)
-Will you be the last person?
-Everything is lighter now
Concluding with a repetition of the idea that everything feels lighter now, possibly implying relief or resolution.
Everything is lighter now
-Everything is lighter now
-Everything is lighter now
