Nausea
Closebye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Weighing all my options and you're cheap and for sale
So while I′m getting through to you
Well, better make it count
My empty stomach could care less for food
Monumental choices at my every move
So while I'm getting through to you
Fuck you I′ll never be sorry
I′ll save my truth for the weekend
I get loaded, there'll be no stopping
My endless diet traps that manifest, from the week I left behind
So now what′s the point of biting down
Hold my tongue and brace myself to stick around
What's the point in tellin′ lies
To walk on shells?
Truth is you'll always be around somehow
Because I love you despite every wound
Its love that′s so sure, its assumed
As I trace my steps and keep finding
You
Fuck you I'll never be sorry
I'll save my truth for the weekend
I get loaded, there′ll be no stopping
My endless diet traps that manifest, from the week I left behind
The song "Nausea" by Closebye talks about a love-hate relationship that one has with a person who is always around, despite being an easy and cheap choice. The song tells the story of someone who is not satisfied with their current situation and who seems to be experiencing some existential crisis. They feel nauseated and are not interested in anything, even food, as they try to find some meaning in their life. The person they are addressing is someone who is always around and seems to be the go-to person when all else fails.
The lyrics, "So now what's the point of biting down, Hold my tongue and brace myself to stick around, What's the point in tellin' lies, To walk on shells?" suggest that the singer is torn between being truthful about their feelings and keeping quiet to avoid creating tension. They do not want to hurt the other person but at the same time, they do not want to continue living in this state of emotional confusion.
The chorus, "Fuck you I'll never be sorry, I'll save my truth for the weekend, I get loaded, there'll be no stopping, My endless diet traps that manifest, from the week I left behind," shows that the singer chooses to ignore their problems during the weekdays and only confront it during the weekend when they get loaded. The chorus is an outlet for their frustrations and a way to escape reality. It also shows the singer's inability to confront their problems head-on and instead, they choose to live in denial.
