Starbucks
Lost at Starbucks: A Melancholic Reflection on Loneliness
Lyrics
I walk outside and see a light
I observe a light when I step outside.
It's not your car I wanna die
The desire to end my life is not related to your car.
I'm sick of bein' left here all alone
I'm tired of being abandoned and left alone.
I sit here try to call you goes to voicemail on your phone
Attempting to call you, but it goes to voicemail; you're unreachable.
Things are really not that great I'm done with being trashed
My current situation is not good, and I'm fed up with being mistreated.
On the way home from being stood up I want my car to crash
After being stood up, I contemplate a car crash on my way home.
This is a generic chorus I don't care about anymore
A repetitive chorus expressing indifference and lack of concern.
I lose my motivation as soon as I walk through that door
I lose my drive and enthusiasm upon entering a certain place.
What's wrong with me
Questioning what is wrong with myself.
Why can't I see
Expressing frustration at the inability to perceive something.
These people leave
People depart, leaving the speaker feeling mistreated.
And treat me horribly
Describing the negative treatment received from others.
2pm at Starbucks you said you'd be here but you're nowhere to be found
You promised to meet at Starbucks at 2 pm, but you are nowhere to be seen.
There's nothing to do but contort my muscles into the shape of a frown
With nothing to do, the speaker expresses sadness through facial expression.
Flowers slowly dying as I wait here by myself
Flowers wilt as the speaker waits alone, symbolizing the passage of time.
When I get home I'm grabbin' something from the top shelf
Upon returning home, the speaker plans to consume something from the top shelf, possibly as a coping mechanism.
This is a generic chorus I don't care about anymore
Repetition of a chorus emphasizing the speaker's indifference.
I lose my motivation as soon as I walk through that door
Upon entering a specific place, motivation is lost once again.
What's wrong with me
Questioning personal issues and self-worth.
Why can't I see
Expressing frustration at the inability to understand or perceive something.
These people leave
People leave, treating the speaker poorly, contributing to feelings of mistreatment.
And treat me horribly
Reiteration of mistreatment received from others.
