i'm so tired... (feat. Troye Sivan)

LAUV's 'i'm so tired...' featuring Troye Sivan is a poignant reflection on the weariness that comes from the constant bombardment of romantic narratives, especially when one is dealing with heartbreak. The song's chorus, with its repetitive declaration of being 'so tired of love songs,' captures the feeling of being overwhelmed and fed up with the idealization of love that is often portrayed in media and music. The desire to 'just wanna go home' signifies a longing for comfort and escape from the relentless reminders of what one has lost or is missing in their own love life.

The verses of the song delve deeper into the narrator's emotional state. They describe attempts to move on or distract oneself by going to parties and trying to meet new people. However, these efforts are futile as 'everybody around me is falling in love to our song,' which suggests that the memories of a past relationship are inescapable, even in social settings. The act of 'taking a shot 'cause I can’t take it' is a metaphor for using alcohol as a coping mechanism to numb the pain, but it's not enough to forget. The line 'Hurts like heaven, lost in the sound' could be a reference to the bittersweet nature of memories that are tied to music, which can be both beautiful and painful.

The collaboration between LAUV and Troye Sivan brings together their unique styles, blending pop sensibilities with introspective lyricism. The song resonates with anyone who has ever felt stuck in a loop of emotional exhaustion, where the very things that are supposed to represent love and happiness instead serve as reminders of heartache. 'i'm so tired...' is not just a catchy tune; it's a shared sentiment for those who are trying to heal from a broken heart and find peace in solitude.
