fuck, i'm lonely (feat. Lauv)
Anne-Marie
The Lingering Ache of Loneliness
In 'fuck, i'm lonely (feat. Lauv),' Anne-Marie and Lauv delve into the raw and unfiltered emotions that accompany the end of a relationship. The song captures the essence of loneliness and the struggle to move on from a past lover. The repeated calls and the longing for physical touch highlight the desperation and the void left by the absence of a significant other. The lyrics, 'I call you one time, two time, three time / I can't wait no more,' emphasize the urgency and the helplessness felt in the wake of a breakup.
The chorus, with its candid expression of loneliness, 'Fuck, I'm lonely, I'm lonely as / Fuck, come hold me come hold me come hold me,' serves as a cathartic release of pent-up emotions. The repetition of 'lonely' underscores the depth of the isolation experienced. The song also touches on the bittersweet memories that linger, as seen in the lines, 'Yeah I still watch the shows you showed me / I still drink that wine / But these days it tastes more bitter than sweet.' These memories, once cherished, now serve as painful reminders of what has been lost.
The passage of time is another significant theme in the song. The transition from June to October symbolizes the changing seasons and the passage of time, yet the pain remains constant. The lyrics, 'I miss those nights when you would come over / Spent all night just tryna get closer / That was June and now it's October / I don't want, don't want to get over you,' reflect the reluctance to move on and the desire to hold onto the past. The song poignantly captures the struggle of dealing with loneliness and the difficulty of letting go of someone who once meant everything.
