Lyrics
I woke up early with love starvation
I woke up early with a strong sense of lacking love.
Hugging my pillow all alone in a rickety bed
Embracing my pillow while being alone in a shaky bed.
Baby, if it's any consolation
Despite the loneliness, there's some comfort in knowing the needle is in the red (possibly a metaphor for intense emotion).
The needle's in the red
The needle being in the red may signify heightened emotional intensity or distress.
It only hit me when I went by a mirror
Realization struck when seeing the reflection in a mirror.
That's when I saw what was written all over my face
Facial expressions reveal the impact of love starvation.
I'm suffering love starvation
Expressing a profound suffering from a lack of love.
A very bad case
Describing the condition as a severe and challenging situation.
I'll tell you something about love starvation
Love starvation is likened to a mental prison, causing feelings of confinement.
It's like a prison in your mind, you're locked up in
Being trapped in disappointment and desperation within one's thoughts.
Disappointment, desperation
Highlighting disappointment and desperation as constant companions.
Your two old friends
Referring to disappointment and desperation as familiar emotions.
Make it stop, make it stop
An appeal to end the suffering and distress caused by love starvation.
If only I could turn back the clock
A desire to reverse time and undo the effects of love deprivation.
Make it so, make it so
An urgent plea to alter the current situation.
'Cause I tell you that I can't exist in a world like this
Expressing the inability to coexist in a love-deprived world.
Show me a love that comes in colors
Yearning for a vibrant and fulfilling love experience.
Or even one I can dream in black and white
Even a simple, monochrome dream of love is desired.
Any love is better than no love
Any form of love is preferable to none.
So any love's right
Asserting that any love is acceptable.
Make it stop, make it stop
Repetition of the plea to end the emotional turmoil.
If only I could turn back the clock now
If only there was a chance to reverse time and correct the situation.
Make it so, make it so
Reiterating the urgent need for change.
'Cause I tell you that I can't exist in a world like this
Expressing the impossibility of existing in a love-starved world.
I woke up early with love starvation
Repetition of the initial sense of love deprivation upon waking up.
Hugging my pillow all alone in a rickety bed
Repeating the image of embracing a pillow in a shaky bed.
Baby, if it's any consolation
Reassuring that despite the loneliness, the emotional intensity is high.
The needle's in the red
Emphasizing the heightened emotional state with the needle still in the red.
The needle's in the red
Reiteration of the intensity represented by the needle being in the red.
Love starvation, baby
A reaffirmation of the impact of love starvation.
It's got me on the back foot
Describing the challenging position love starvation has put the individual in.
It's put me in a dark and lonely place
Expressing the emotional darkness and loneliness caused by love deprivation.
It's got me never knowing
Stating the uncertainty of ever experiencing a fulfilling life again.
If I'm ever going to start living again
Questioning the possibility of starting to live again in the context of love deprivation.
Love starvation, baby
Reiteration of the impact of love starvation.
