Laura's Sad Song
Yearning in Melody: Deciphering Robot Tennis Club's 'Laura's Sad Song'
Lyrics
I want to know you
Expressing a desire to understand someone deeply.
To convince myself
Attempting to convince oneself of deserving the person's attention.
That I am worthy of your time
Feeling inadequate or unworthy of the person's time.
But the reason that I just can't get it out
Struggling to express feelings due to internal barriers.
Must be something inside me that doesn't believe it
Recognizing a lack of self-belief causing difficulties.
And I know that I'm alright
Acknowledging personal stability despite doubts.
But I feel like I have to prove it
Feeling a need to externally validate one's well-being.
And I know
Self-awareness regarding impending emotional distress.
One of these nights
Anticipating a future emotional breakdown.
Or sooner or later that I'm gonna lose it
Expecting a breakdown to happen sooner or later.
Oh please, oh please believe me
Begging for belief in genuine desires despite uncertainties.
I want these things I can't see
Yearning for intangible desires.
The earth just keeps on spinning
Reflecting on life's continuous motion causing disorientation.
And I am getting dizzy
Feeling disoriented or lost amidst life's motion.
I want to love you so I can love someone else
Desiring to love in order to love others better.
I'm not diluted enough to think that you are mine
Realizing the unrealistic nature of possessing someone.
And I'm sorry, crash dummy, it just didn't work out
Expressing regret over a failed relationship.
And I wish that I didn't believe in next times
Wishing to discard belief in second chances.
Cuz I know I'm not alive
Feeling emotionally dead or disconnected.
What's it like on the right side of dirt?
Questioning about life after death or existence.
And I know I won't like
Expecting dissatisfying answers about the afterlife.
The answers you give me
Fearful of discovering unsettling truths personally.
I'm too scared to see for myself
Expressing fear of self-discovery and facing reality.
Oh please believe me
Repeated plea for belief in earnest desires.
(please believe me, please believe me)
Reiterating the plea for belief in unseen desires.
I want these things I can't see
Reiterating the longing for intangible desires.
(things I can't see, things I can't see)
Emphasizing the desire for unseen or unknown aspirations.
The earth just keeps on spinning
Reflecting on life's continual motion causing disorientation.
(please believe me, please believe me)
Expressing disorientation or confusion amidst life's motion.
And I am getting dizzy
Reiterating the disorientation amid life's relentless motion.
Oh please, oh please believe me
Repeated plea for belief in genuine desires.
(The future isn't a place)
Speculation about the uncertain nature of the future.
I want these things I can't see
Reiterating the longing for intangible desires.
(To go to on a rainy day)
Viewing the future as an uncertain or undesirable place.
The earth just keeps on spinning
Reflecting on life's continuous motion causing instability.
(There is nowhere to stay)
Expressing nowhere as a stable place amidst motion.
And I am getting dizzy
Feeling disoriented or lost amidst life's motion.
(And I don't need to escape)
Not desiring an escape despite feeling disoriented.
