You Always Win
Dropout Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're in my mind, who let you in?
I guess that's fine, it's always been
When did I lose my fight? That scares me
It's been so long since I could feel
Rolling through this empty field
Broken songs, they never heal
Ohhh... Why do you always win, why do you always win?
Ohhh... Why do you always win, why do you always win?
Ohhh... Why do you always win, why do you always win?
Ohhh... Why do you always win, why do you always win?
Ohhh... Why do you always win, why do you always win?
Ohhh... Why do you always win, why do you always win?
It's only been a month but I feel a year away from you
A taste is strong, it's still on the surface of my memories
Ohhh... Why do you always win, why do you always win?
Ohhh... Why do you always win, why do you always win?
Ohhh... Why do you always win, why do you always win?
Ohhh... Why do you always win, why do you always win?
Ohhh... Why do you always win, why do you always win?
Ohhh... Why do you always win, why do you always win?
You make me dream of gold and ice
Anything to keep you off my mind
You make me dream of gold and ice
Anything to keep you off my mind
You make me dream of gold and ice
Anything to keep you off my mind
You make me dream of gold and ice
Anything to keep you off my mind
Ohhh... Why do you always win, why do you always win?
Ohhh... Why do you always win, why do you always win?




Ohhh... Why do you always win, why do you always win?
Ohhh... Why do you always win, why do you always win?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dropout's song "You Always Win" depict a person who is haunted by the memory of someone they cannot have. The repetition of the line "why do you always win?" suggests that the person is struggling with a sense of defeat or loss, and the imagery of "broken songs" and an "empty field" implies a profound loneliness. The line "It's only been a month but I feel a year away from you" conveys the idea that time has slowed down or has become distorted for the singer, adding to their sense of disorientation or emotional pain.


The chorus of the song, with its anthemic "ohh"s, emphasizes the hook, which is both a confession of vulnerability and a plea for answers. The line "You make me dream of gold and ice" could be interpreted as a metaphor for the conflicting feelings of desire and numbness that the singer feels in relation to their object of obsession. Ultimately, the song expresses a sense of powerlessness and confusion in the face of unrequited love, and the frustration of feeling stuck in a cycle of longing and disappointment.


Line by Line Meaning

You're in my mind, who let you in?
I can't seem to shake off thoughts of you, how did you manage to find your way into my thoughts?


I guess that's fine, it's always been
Although I'm concerned about this, it's been happening for as long as I can remember


When did I lose my fight? That scares me
I'm worried that I've lost my determination and strength to resist thinking about you


It's been so long since I could feel
It's been an extended period since I've genuinely experienced emotions without thinking about you


Rolling through this empty field
I'm aimlessly wandering through life, feeling empty and incomplete


Broken songs, they never heal
My emotional scars remain to this day, and attempts at healing them have been futile


Ohhh... Why do you always win, why do you always win?
Why must you keep winning and occupying my mind?


It's only been a month but I feel a year away from you
Only a month has passed, but it feels like it's been ages since I last saw you


A taste is strong, it's still on the surface of my memories
The memories of you still linger on the surface of my mind, and they are still potent


You make me dream of gold and ice
I have unrealistic dreams of a perfect future with you, no matter how improbable they may be


Anything to keep you off my mind
I'll do anything to try and stop thinking about you, even if it's just temporary relief

Dropout

No, it's a real account.  We just haven't been pushing it as much because we have wonderful resources like proximity so theres almost no point in pushing our own page right now. We're more focused on our spotify and soundcloud followings at this point.

Dropout

We're actually from Santa Barbara, but we're in la quite a bit :)
