Nobody Else

Low Roar's 'Nobody Else' is a haunting exploration of love, isolation, and the shadows of the past. The song opens with the imagery of 'old shadows' lurking 'under the rug,' suggesting unresolved issues or memories that are hidden but not forgotten. These shadows 'wait for the moment' to resurface, symbolizing the inevitability of facing one's past. The mention of a 'confetti supply' when feeling 'feeble' adds a layer of irony, as confetti typically signifies celebration, yet here it is tied to moments of weakness, hinting at the complexity of emotions involved.

The refrain 'There's nobody else' underscores a sense of solitude and perhaps resignation. It could imply that the speaker feels alone in their struggles or that they have no one else to turn to. This line is repeated, reinforcing the theme of isolation. The song then delves into the idea of being 'lost,' with 'shine lights in the past' indicating a futile search for clarity or direction. The 'cryptic love' that 'gets worse with time' suggests a relationship that becomes increasingly difficult to understand or sustain, adding to the emotional weight of the song.

The promise 'I swear that it won't happen again' is a recurring motif, reflecting a desire to break free from past patterns or mistakes. However, the repetition of this line also hints at a cycle that is hard to escape. The song's melancholic tone and introspective lyrics are characteristic of Low Roar's style, which often blends ambient soundscapes with deeply personal themes. 'Nobody Else' captures the essence of feeling trapped by one's past and the struggle to find solace in a world that feels increasingly isolating.
