“Remember when you used to send me songs?”
Demise
Cafuné Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No surprise, I'm not moving, moving
Hours wasted, pickin' choosin'
I wish it wasn't so confusing
Into fading daylight cruising
I'm still driving
Tell me why
Tell me why
I always fabricate the reasons for my own demise
My own demise
I'm allowed to process (who's got time to)
Thought we made some progress (yeah, I'd like to)
Reach out and be honest
Something tells me I should hold my breath
Tell me why
This happens all the time
Implicated in a lie
Negotiations breaking down but
I'm still driving
Tell me why
I love to over complicate my stupid little life
Tell me why
I always fabricate the reasons for my own demise
My own demise
I talk to myself, like I'm losing
Oh, no surprise, I'm not moving, moving
Hours wasted, pickin' choosin'
I wish it wasn't so confusing
Into fading daylight cruising
I'm still driving
Tell me why
I love to over complicate my stupid little life
Tell me why
I always fabricate the reasons for my own demise
My own demise
The lyrics to Cafuné's song "Demise" delve into the internal struggles and complexities of the singer's own mind. The repetitive opening lines, "I talk to myself, like I'm losing, no surprise, I'm not moving," convey a sense of stagnation and frustration. The singer feels trapped in a cycle of self-doubt and indecision, as symbolized by the phrase "pickin' choosin'," which suggests they struggle to make choices and move forward.
The chorus reveals the singer's tendency to overcomplicate their own life and fabricate reasons for their own demise. This suggests a pattern of self-sabotage or self-destructive thinking. The line "Negotiations breaking down but I'm still driving" emphasizes their perseverance despite the obstacles they face internally. The repetition of the phrase "Tell me why" throughout the song shows the singer's yearning for understanding and answers to their self-destructive behaviors.
Overall, "Demise" captures the struggle of grappling with one's own mind, consistently trying to decipher the reasons behind self-sabotaging tendencies and a penchant for overcomplicating one's own life.
