January
Autoheart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll fight it, I'll fight this disease!
Silence, hereafter
It's not over, it's not over yet!
Why on earth did you call
Me last night, after all?
That you said the night before
You broke my heart
You broke my heart
You got me in a headlock
I'm wrestling, grappling free
Once more, with feeling
Just look at the mess we are in
Why on earth did you call
Me last night, after all?
That you said the night before
That was so uncalled for
You broke my heart
You broke my heart
Did you think I would be separated, or elevated?
It is tragic how I am suffering and you are not all
Did you want me to be motivated or reinstated?
Slam my head against the wall
Why on earth did you call
Me last night, after all?
That you said the night before
That was so uncalled for
You broke my heart
You broke my heart
The song "January" by Autoheart is a melancholic and reflective tune that explores the feelings of heartbreak and betrayal. The opening lines "Don't fret, it's not worth it, I'll fight it, I'll fight this disease," suggest that the singer is trying to move on from a difficult situation, possibly a difficult breakup. The second line "Silence, hereafter," can be interpreted as accepting the fact that the relationship is over and now they are left to deal with the aftermath of it. But the chorus "It's not over, it's not over yet!" suggests the singer is not yet ready to accept the current situation and may still be hoping for a resolution.
The song then goes to the main issue in the story, the singer wondering why their ex-lover called them after all that had happened between them. The lines "Did you think I would be separated, or elevated? It is tragic how I am suffering and you are not all. Did you want me to be motivated or reinstated? Slam my head against the wall" suggest that the singer is struggling to understand their ex's intentions. Did they call to apologize or to hurt them further? The chorus repeats itself, emphasizing the heartbreak of the situation once again.
Overall, "January" is a well-crafted song that portrays the grief and confusion one feels after a relationship ends. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the singer grappling with their emotions and attempting to make sense of the situation.
