Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't wanna know what is she up to, calm down
If i close my eyes and focus on my own for a while
It doesn't matter, this love is all i remember
And if you told me for the night then that all be alright, yeah
And when you lay in beside him, i hope you crac (?) a smile and think
He is no competition
He is no competition, when you're with him
He is no competition, i'm the one you missin'
I'm the one you missin'
I'm the one
I always knew that we're different
But i never thought that we survive this distance
If i close my eyes and think about all of the time that we spend
Now that i found that you just cant live without him
And if you told me for the night that all will be alright, yeah
And when you lay in beside him, i hope you crac (?) a smile and think
He is no competition
He is no competition, when you're with him
His touch, his kiss, your name on his lips
He is no competition
I don't know how much longer i can do this
I'm scared to lose you, but the truth is
I'm alone at night, and things need right
I need to hear you sayin don't lie
He is no competition
He is no competition, when you're with him
His touch, his kiss, your name on his lips
He is no competition, i'm the one u missin
I'm the one u missin, i'm the one u missin
In "Competition," Dylan Rockoff sings about a love that he cannot forget despite the physical and emotional distance between him and his partner. He admits to feeling jealous and lonely while his partner spends time with another guy, but ultimately asserts that the other man is "no competition" when it comes to the deep, intimate connection he shares with her. The chorus features repetition of the phrase "He is no competition," emphasizing the singer's confidence in his relationship and his belief that his love for her will ultimately triumph over any fleeting romantic encounters she may have. Though the singer expresses fear of losing his lover, he also craves honesty and truth from her, highlighting the importance of open communication in a healthy relationship.
Throughout the song, Rockoff employs a conversational, conversational tone that lends an immediacy and intimacy to the lyrics. His use of short sentences and incomplete thoughts convey a sense of emotional urgency and rawness, as if the words are spilling out of him in a moment of vulnerability. The use of present tense throughout the song also contributes to this sense of immediacy, as the singer struggles to make sense of his feelings in the moment.
