Dear Sister
Late-Night Loneliness: Unveiling the Silent Struggle Behind the Laughter
Lyrics
I wish that I could watch SNL
I desire to watch Saturday Night Live (SNL).
There's just something about pretending to laugh along
There's a certain appeal in pretending to laugh along.
To 9 sketches out of 10 when only 1 is funny and
Nine out of ten sketches are not funny, and I hope for improvement.
I'm holding onto hope that it gets better
I am holding onto hope for a better experience.
I can't go anywhere - this mindless tether's
I feel restricted, unable to go anywhere due to a mindless tether.
An invisible bond, my tired TV can't understand
An invisible bond exists, and my tired TV can't comprehend why I want to watch a movie alone.
Why I wanna watch a movie without my friends
I want to watch a movie without my friends, regardless of it being on TV when I have the DVD.
Just because it's on the TV, even though I've got the DVD
Disliking adverts as they break the immersion in the viewing experience.
I hate the adverts
A strong dislike for advertisements.
It really breaks the immersion
Advertisements disrupt the immersive experience and are disliked.
But I love the feeling, that it's not just me watching
Enjoying the feeling that others are also watching, not feeling alone.
My lonely brain hurts
Feeling pain in the lonely mind.
"10 points - who can answer this next question
A quiz scenario with the desire to be alone.
Who begs to be alone?"
Questioning who wants to be alone.
When I'm alone it eats away at me
Being alone causes internal distress.
Maybe I should learn Spanish
Contemplating the idea of learning Spanish.
Maybe I could learn some Japanese
Considering the possibility of learning Japanese.
I wish that I could watch Jimmy Fallon
Expressing a desire to watch Jimmy Fallon's show.
The fake laughs at all his guests, I can't even fathom
Disliking the fake laughs at Jimmy Fallon's guests.
But then again, I pretend to be happy all the time
Acknowledging the pretense of happiness despite internal struggles.
I wanna watch America's late-night TV
Expressing a wish to watch America's late-night TV.
Even though I rarely find the guests that funny
Not always finding the late-night TV guests amusing.
But I guess that Jimmy doesn't either
Suggesting that Jimmy Fallon might not find the guests funny either.
He's just the nation's
Jimmy Fallon is portrayed as the nation's favorite actor.
Favourite actor
Highlighting Jimmy Fallon's role in late-night TV.
Late-night TV
Describing late-night TV as a worldwide distractor.
A worldwide distractor
Connecting work hours (9-5) and the only time for mental disconnection (5-9).
Work 9-5, but 5-9
Expressing the feeling of loneliness when alone.
Is the only time, you disconnect your mind
Repetition of the sense of disconnect during alone time.
When I'm alone
Feeling alone.
When I'm alone
Reiteration of the feeling of loneliness.
When I'm alone
Continued expression of loneliness.
I feel so alone
Intensifying the sense of loneliness when alone.
When I'm alone
Repeating the feeling of being alone.
When I'm alone
Emphasizing the loneliness during solitary moments.
When I'm alone
Reiterating the sense of isolation when alone.
I feel so alone
Intensifying the feeling of loneliness during solitary moments.
When I'm alone
Repetition of the loneliness experienced when alone.
When I'm alone
Continued expression of the sense of loneliness during alone time.
When I'm a-
Incomplete line, leaving the meaning open-ended.
