Sorry For Myself

CADE's 'Sorry For Myself' delves into the emotional turmoil and self-reflection that follows a breakup. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is struggling to move on from a past relationship. The repeated lines, 'I should take you out of my phone' and 'I should take one of them home,' suggest a desire to erase the memories of the ex-partner and perhaps find solace in the company of someone new. However, the protagonist is trapped in a cycle of self-pity, unable to let go and move forward.

The chorus, 'Amazed and feeling sorry for myself,' highlights the protagonist's astonishment at their own inability to love someone else. This line underscores a sense of helplessness and confusion, as they grapple with the emotional baggage left behind. The repetition of 'sorry for myself' emphasizes the depth of their self-pity and the difficulty in breaking free from it. The phrase 'I don't know how to love somebody else' further illustrates the protagonist's struggle to open their heart to new possibilities, indicating a deep-seated emotional wound.

The song also touches on the idea of mental clutter, as seen in the lines 'I should listen to a song / Other than a song / If I could clear from my mind / My mental would be fine.' This suggests that the protagonist is constantly reminded of their past relationship through music, making it hard to escape the memories. The overall tone of the song is one of introspection and melancholy, as the protagonist navigates the complexities of healing and self-discovery. CADE's emotive delivery and the repetitive nature of the lyrics effectively convey the lingering pain and the slow, arduous process of moving on from a lost love.
