Needs

Verzache's song "Needs" is a poignant exploration of the complex emotions that arise when a relationship comes to an end. The lyrics convey a sense of resignation and acceptance, as the speaker encourages their former partner to 'enjoy yourself' and find happiness with someone else. This refrain is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the speaker's attempt to come to terms with the breakup and the desire for their ex-partner to be happy, even if it's not with them.

The song also touches on themes of self-worth and the pain of unrequited love. The line 'She doesn't need nobody else' suggests that the ex-partner is self-sufficient and perhaps was never as invested in the relationship as the speaker. The speaker reflects on the hurt caused by the partner's actions, such as 'playing me out' and not reciprocating the love and care that was given. Despite this, the speaker still expresses a willingness to help and a lingering attachment, as seen in the lines 'Please don't put me on a shelf' and 'I help can you, I help can you feel the way you fell.'

Verzache's musical style often blends elements of indie, electronic, and lo-fi genres, creating a sound that is both introspective and emotionally resonant. In "Needs," the melancholic melody and the repetition of the chorus work together to create a haunting atmosphere that mirrors the song's themes of letting go and self-reflection. The song captures the bittersweet nature of moving on from a relationship that was once cherished but is now recognized as one-sided.
