Sick Of Losing Soulmates

Dodie Clark's song "Sick Of Losing Soulmates" delves into the complexities of human relationships, particularly focusing on the deep connections we form with those we consider soulmates. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the emotional turmoil and vulnerability that come with these bonds. The opening lines, "What a strange being you are / God knows where I would be / If you hadn’t found me / Sitting all alone in the dark," suggest a sense of salvation and gratitude for the presence of a significant other who has pulled the narrator out of a dark place. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which explores the highs and lows of such intimate connections.

The recurring theme of being "sick of losing soulmates" highlights the fear of abandonment and the pain of losing someone who feels like a part of one's own soul. Dodie uses metaphors like "a dumb screenshot of youth" and "a superglued human of proof" to describe the fragile yet intense nature of these relationships. The line "I can finally see / You’re as fucked up as me / So how do we win?" reveals a moment of realization and acceptance that both parties are flawed, yet this mutual understanding could be the key to maintaining their bond.

The song also touches on the inevitability of change and the passage of time, as seen in the lines "We will grow old as friends / I’ve promised that before / So what’s one more?" and "Time and hearts will wear us thin." Despite these challenges, there is a sense of determination and hope, encapsulated in the repeated question, "So how do we win?" This question underscores the ongoing struggle to preserve meaningful relationships despite their inherent difficulties. Dodie's heartfelt lyrics and emotive delivery make "Sick Of Losing Soulmates" a poignant exploration of love, friendship, and the human condition.
