Navy

In 'Navy,' gglum delves into the emotional turmoil of unreciprocated love, painting a vivid picture of the loneliness and frustration that comes with it. The song opens with a sense of cosmic irony, suggesting that some higher power is playing cruel jokes on the narrator. This sets the stage for the central theme: a one-sided love that suffocates and exhausts. The repeated phrase 'I'm tired' underscores the emotional fatigue that comes from loving someone who doesn't return the sentiment.

The metaphor of 'navy' is particularly striking. Navy, a deep and dark shade of blue, symbolizes the depth of the narrator's feelings and the overwhelming sadness that accompanies them. The line 'You give me nothing, nothing but navy through' suggests that the relationship offers no joy or fulfillment, only a profound sense of emptiness. The narrator's disdain for physical affection ('I hate when you hold me, it's fake, and it's lonely') further emphasizes the hollowness of the connection.

The song also touches on the idea of missed connections and the futility of trying to make something work when the foundation is flawed. The lyrics 'The start and end begins with missed connections, best to leave it, never mentioned again' highlight the cyclical nature of their interactions, which are doomed from the start. The recurring theme of 'empty thoughts' and 'anger leaking through the floor' adds another layer of complexity, suggesting that unresolved emotions and unspoken words are eroding the relationship from within. 'Navy' is a poignant exploration of the pain and isolation that come with loving someone who can't or won't love you back, wrapped in gglum's hauntingly beautiful musical style.
