Lost It
Circa Waves Lyrics

In "Lost It" by British band Circa Waves, the singer seems to be grappling with feelings of disorientation and loneliness. They ask someone to "put your back on me and keep me going," suggesting a feeling of exhaustion or fatigue. The image of the ground clinging to their feet and the room spinning conveys a sense of being trapped or stuck in a moment. The request for "some sorrows to drown" suggests a desire to turn to substances or other coping mechanisms to deal with these overwhelming emotions.

The chorus repeats the line "we lost it in the people we know," suggesting that the singer and their friends have drifted apart or experienced some kind of breakdown in communication or connection. Blaming this on "someone" suggests a desire to avoid responsibility or accountability for the loss. The repeated question "Am I too young to keep this going?" implies that the singer is struggling with a sense of inadequacy or insecurity, feeling as though they lack the skills or abilities necessary to sustain their friendships or relationships.

The second verse adds to the sense of dislocation and displacement, with the singer describing "pushing through the sticks and stones for conversation" and feeling that they are constantly "out on vacation." The contrast between "broken boys and broken homes" and the idea of a holiday destination also suggests a sense of alienation or conflict. The repeated request for someone to "come and talk with me" and "keep me company" emphasizes the singer's desire for connection and relationships, while "Please say something" emphasizes their sense of desperation and need.
