Your Name (feat. Julien Marchal & Ed Tullett)

Lissom's song 'Your Name,' featuring Julien Marchal and Ed Tullett, delves into themes of loss, separation, and the emotional turmoil that accompanies these experiences. The lyrics repeatedly express a sense of defeat with the phrase 'I lose,' which punctuates the song's narrative of struggling with departure and change.

The song begins with an invitation or a plea, 'Come get your name,' suggesting a return to identity or perhaps a call to reclaim what was once familiar. This is followed by actions like 'Reanimate' and 'Assassinate,' which contrast the ideas of revival and destruction, encapsulating the conflicting emotions involved in letting go of someone. The repetition of 'I lose' after each action indicates a resignation to loss, regardless of the effort to hold on or adapt.

The structure of the song, with its alternating perspectives ('It was in the morning, You came a calling' versus 'I came a calling'), reflects the back-and-forth of a relationship where both parties struggle with presence and absence. The lines 'I don't wanna be without or with you' capture the ambivalence and complexity of the emotions involved, highlighting the internal conflict of wanting to be with someone but also recognizing the pain their presence brings. This poignant expression of conflicted feelings and the inevitability of change gives the song a deeply resonant emotional quality.
