Can We Hangout Another Time?
CyberGirlfriend Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thought you were spaced out
Guess ya had time
What did you find?
You've been thinking
Overthinking
About your past lives
Shut up, you're overthinking
Take a breath, and try to unwind
If it's all in your head, everything will be alright
What do you mean
When you say
You're afraid to dream?
When you say
Say you can't fall asleep
Are you just avoiding what you need to see?
Do you not even notice?
Are you lying through your teeth?
Hopelessly, so hopeless
Now you're reaching out to me
What do you mean
When you say
You're afraid to dream?
When you say
Say you can't fall asleep
Are you just avoiding what you need to see?
What do you mean?
When you say
You're afraid to dream?
When you say
Say you can't fall asleep
Are you just avoiding what you need to see?
In the first verse of CyberGirlfriend's song "Can We Hangout Another Time?" the lyrics seem to convey a sense of surprise that the person being addressed is back. It is implied that the person had been absent. This absence may have contributed to some mental distress or overthinking on their part, as suggested by the lyrics "you've been thinking, overthinking." The lyrics also refer to "past lives" and what "they looked like," which suggests that the person may be examining or analyzing their own personal history. The chorus of the song provides a message of reassurance, telling the person to "take a breath" and not to worry. The lyrics emphasize the importance of letting go of overthinking and the potential for false perceptions.
The second verse seems to dive deeper into the person's thought process, with questions like "What do you mean when you say you're afraid to dream?" and "Are you just avoiding what you need to see?" These lyrics could be suggesting that the person may be avoiding confronting or processing certain emotions or experiences. The lyrics appear to question whether or not the person is acknowledging or even aware of issues that may be affecting their well-being. The repetition of "What do you mean?" in the chorus suggests that the singer is urging the person to be more introspective and truthful about their feelings.
Overall, "Can We Hangout Another Time?" seems to be a song about dealing with anxiety and overthinking. The lyrics are a reminder to take a step back and breathe amidst the chaos of everyday life. It asks listeners to be honest with themselves and to confront what they may be avoiding.
