Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Laetitia, you destroy me, so I
Can see why I feel so lonely
When you and me could be forever
Perfectly perfect together.
I know.

Broken down in my dead bedroom,
Stuttering to pictures of you.
I'm sure that you can always
See me.

I saw you staring through the
TV last night.
So I'll leave my door open all
Night, in case you decide you

Want to stop on by.
Because you got to know who's
Been singing that song on
The radio.

The one that goes...
My friends all call me crazy
Cause I stay up late anticipating,
And planning for the day I sweep
You off your feet, I'd never leave
You alone.

Laetitia, you got my hand shaking,
I'm begging you oh baby please
Stop breaking my heart because I
Got the feeling that you and I
Will never really get it on.

So I'll leave my door open all
Night in case you decide you want
To stop on by.
Because you got to know who's been

Singing that song on the radio.
The one that goes...
Girl, come to me.
The only broken-hearted lose




You'll ever need, or I'll be left
Alone forever with my magazines.

Overall Meaning

The first verse of Brand New's song "Magazines" expresses a sense of longing and loneliness that the singer relates to their unrequited love for Laetitia. The singer is aware that their feelings for Laetitia are intense, and they believe that they would be "perfectly perfect together" if only she would reciprocate. However, the reality is that Laetitia is not interested in them, which is a source of significant emotional distress for the singer.


In the second verse, we can see that Laetitia occupies the singer's mind fully. They spend their time in their "dead bedroom," looking at pictures of her and speaking to her, even though she is not physically present. The singer imagines that Laetitia is watching them through their television, an indication of the intensity of their feelings. The singer tells Laetitia that they will leave their door open all night in case she changes her mind and decides to visit. The singer is desperate for her attention and is willing to wait for her.


The chorus of the song is full of desperation, with the singer begging Laetitia not to break their heart. They believe that if Laetitia were to give them a chance, they would do everything in their power to make her happy. Furthermore, the singer asserts that they would never leave Laetitia alone. At the same time, the bridge suggests that the singer knows that Laetitia will never return their feelings, and they will be left alone forever.


Line by Line Meaning

Laetitia, you destroy me, so I
You tear me apart Laetitia


Can see why I feel so lonely
That's why I feel deserted


When you and me could be forever
We could have been together forever


Perfectly perfect together. I know.
We were meant to be together and I'm sure of it


Broken down in my dead bedroom,
I am feeling very low in my silent bedroom


Stuttering to pictures of you.
Struggling to talk while looking at your photos


I'm sure that you can always
I am certain that you always


See me.
See me alone


I saw you staring through the
Last night I saw you looking through the


TV last night.
Television screen


So I'll leave my door open all
I'm going to keep my door unlocked all


Night, in case you decide you
So, if you decide that you


Want to stop on by.
Feel like stopping by


Because you got to know who's
You must find out who is


Been singing that song on
Singing that song on the


The radio.
Radio stations


The one that goes...
The one that goes like this...


My friends all call me crazy
Everyone thinks I'm insane


Cause I stay up late anticipating,
Because I'm awake at night hoping


And planning for the day I sweep
And I am planning for the day I can take


You off your feet, I'd never leave
You off of your feet, and I'll never leave


You alone.
You abandoned.


Laetitia, you got my hand shaking,
You're making my hands tremble, Laetitia


I'm begging you oh baby please
I'm pleading with you, baby, please


Stop breaking my heart because I
Don't break my heart; because


Got the feeling that you and I
I have the feeling that you and I


Will never really get it on.
Will never truly connect.


So I'll leave my door open all
I'm going to keep my door unlocked all


Night in case you decide you want
So, if you feel like


To stop on by.
Stopping by.


Because you got to know who's
You have to find out who is


Been
Been


Singing that song on the radio.
Singing that song on the radio stations.


The one that goes...
The one that goes like this...


Girl, come to me.
Girl, come to me.


The only broken-hearted lose
The only person with a broken heart


You'll ever need, or I'll be left
You'll ever need, or I'll be left


Alone forever with my magazines.
All alone forever with my magazines.
