Lyrics

I fall in love

I experience love.

with every girl with a guitar on the internet

I am attracted to every girl playing a guitar on the internet.

My friends are all on drugs

My friends engage in drug use.

To cope with every tragedy that hasn't happened yet

They use drugs to cope with potential tragedies that have not occurred yet.

Soldiers die

Individuals in the military sacrifice their lives.

So I can feel more like a pacifist

I use their sacrifice to adopt a pacifist stance.

I hold the signs

I participate in activism by holding signs.

So I can say that I'm an activist

Activism allows me to claim the identity of an activist.

But I'm a eye roller

I tend to roll my eyes in a dismissive manner.

I'm a eye roller

Reiteration of eye-rolling behavior.

I just shrug my shoulders

I respond to situations with indifference, expressing apathy or lack of concern.

I'm a eye roller

Reiteration of eye-rolling behavior.

I fake my love

I pretend to love things that Los Angeles models endorse.

For all the ish these la models wanna listen to

I use drugs to cope with the feeling of not missing someone.

I take my drugs

I consume substances to numb myself from the pain of missing you.

I tried to myself how much I wasn't missing you

Reiteration of trying to convince oneself of not missing someone.

Soldiers die so I can feel more like a masochist

Similar to line 6, soldiers' deaths are referenced to enhance the feeling of being a masochist.

I hold the signs

Continuation of participating in activism through sign-holding.

So I can say that I'm an activist

Engaging in activism allows me to claim the identity of an activist.

But I'm a eye roller

Reiteration of eye-rolling behavior.

I'm a eye roller

-

I just shrug my shoulders

Expressing indifference or nonchalant attitude by shrugging shoulders.

I'm a eye roller

Reiteration of eye-rolling behavior.


I fall in love

Repetition emphasizing the speaker's tendency to fall in love.

I fall in love

-

I fall in love

-

I fall in love
