Sympathy
Cat Vas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
forget the one you're waiting for, throw away that dream once more
It starts, in his eyes you're the prize so you fall in love
forget the lessons learnt before, how could a girl want more?
Don't feel sorry for me, I don't need your Sympathy
Lessons are learned when you crash and you burn like me
Don't feel sorry for me, I don't need your Sympathy
It starts, love is blind, he's so kind but you're worlds apart
try to word it carefully, try to find a way to make him see.
It starts, he's in pain, you're afraid you broke his heart
pulling back to start again, can there be a way to leave as friends?
The song "Sympathy" by Cat Vas depicts the emotional turmoil someone goes through when falling in love with the wrong person, learning from their mistakes, and moving on. The opening line "You're alone in the land of the broken hearts" sets the tone for the song, as it shows that the singer has experienced heartbreak before and is hesitant to open herself up to someone new. However, she falls in love and forgets the lessons she's learned in the past as she believes this time it's different.
The chorus of the song "Don't feel sorry for me, I don't need your Sympathy, Lessons are learned when you crash and you burn like me" is a powerful statement about taking ownership of one's mistakes and learning from them. The singer is saying that she doesn't need pity or sympathy but rather wants to take her time to heal and grow from the mistakes she's made in the past. The song shows that falling in love can be a rollercoaster ride with highs and lows, but you come out stronger on the other side.
Overall, "Sympathy" is an empowering song that encourages listeners to learn from their mistakes and take ownership of their lives. The lyrics depict a person who has experienced heartbreak before but isn't afraid to put herself out there again and learn from her experiences.
