Losing Sleep
DVBBS & Powfu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm layin' in the grass lookin' up at the stars
I'm dreamin' of you here but you're wrapped in his arms
Wish I could forget but I don't want to
I've been losing sleep since I lost you
Ordered fast food at night
If you don't care about me
Then why should I
Tell me what's cool 'bout the new guy
Is he strong, is he funny, does the sun shine?
I know you cry more than sometimes
Does he bring you chips with the sundried?
I don't wanna curse myself but I won't ever be
Back in the place I was when you were here with me
I'm layin' in the grass lookin' up at the stars
I'm dreamin' of you here but you're wrapped in his arms
Wish I could forget but I don't want to
I've been losing sleep since I lost you
Deleting all my apps
'Cause nobody gives a shit
We're nothing anymore
But I wish we were
Ordered fast food at night
And sleep through the light
If you don't care about me
Then why should I
Tell me what's cool 'bout the new guy
Is he strong, is he funny, does the sun shine?
I know you cry more than sometimes
Does he bring you chips with the sundried?
I don't wanna curse myself but I won't ever be
Back in the place I was when you were here with me
I'm layin' in the grass lookin' up at the stars
I'm dreamin' of you here but you're wrapped in his arms
Wish I could forget but I don't want to
I've been losing sleep since I lost you
I'm layin' in the grass lookin' up at the stars
I'm dreamin' of you here but you're wrapped in his arms
Wish I could forget but I don't want to
I've been losing sleep since I lost you
The lyrics of "Losing Sleep" by DVBBS & Powfu express the feelings of heartbreak and longing after a breakup. The singer finds themselves lying in the grass, looking up at the stars, and reminiscing about the person they lost. Despite wishing they could forget about their former lover, they confess that they don't actually want to let go. The pain of the breakup has caused them to lose sleep, unable to fully move on.
The song also touches on the feelings of jealousy and insecurity that arise when the singer imagines their ex with someone else. They question what is so special about this new person, wondering if they possess qualities like strength, humor, or the ability to make the sun shine. The singer admits that they know their ex cries, implying that they were familiar with their emotions and vulnerabilities. The mention of bringing chips with the sundried could be seen as a reference to offering comfort or care to their ex that they now miss.
The second verse of the song reveals the singer's actions in response to their heartbreak. They have deleted all their apps, suggesting they are withdrawing from social media or cutting off contact with the outside world. They feel that nobody cares about them anymore. The repetition of ordering fast food at night and sleeping through the light implies a sense of comfort in indulging in unhealthy habits to cope with the pain.
Overall, "Losing Sleep" captures the emotional turmoil of a broken heart, the struggle to move on, and the lingering thoughts and longing for what was lost.
