Stalk u (i didn't mean to)

Los Abandoned's song "Stalk u (i didn't mean to)" delves into the complexities of unrequited love and the fine line between admiration and obsession. The lyrics narrate the story of someone who becomes infatuated with another person, to the point of engaging in behaviors that could be perceived as stalking. The protagonist is aware of their actions and repeatedly insists that they didn't mean to stalk the object of their affection, highlighting a sense of guilt and self-awareness.

The song opens with the protagonist reflecting on how they never intended to become one of those people driven by a sad obsession. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the protagonist recounts their actions, such as following the person around, attending their art openings, and even looking through their history and assignments in the art department. These actions are driven by a desperate need for answers and a desire to get to know the person better, even if it drives them crazy.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of unfulfilled longing. The protagonist's attempts to connect with the person they admire are met with obstacles, such as the revelation that the person has another romantic interest. This unrequited love leads the protagonist to fantasize about the person and prepare a heartfelt declaration of their feelings, only to be left with their emotions unreciprocated. The song captures the bittersweet nature of unrequited love, where admiration can easily turn into an unhealthy obsession, and the pain of not being able to express one's feelings fully.

The lyrics also touch on the protagonist's internal struggle, as they try to justify their actions and convince themselves that their intentions were pure. The repeated refrain, "I didn't mean to stalk u," serves as a reminder of their guilt and the fine line between love and obsession. The song ultimately portrays the protagonist as a sympathetic character, caught in the throes of an intense and unreciprocated emotional experience.
