The lyrics in F.T Island's song BPM69 talk about the feeling of heartbreak and the pain that comes with it. The song opens with the lines, "Love always leaves, it closes the door to my heart, and I'm left alone with my thoughts." These lyrics set the tone for the rest of the song, which deals with the singer's struggle to cope with their unrequited love.
Throughout the song, the singer reflects on their failed relationship and tries to come to terms with their feelings of love and loss. They admit that no matter how much they try to distract themselves, they can't seem to escape the pain in their heart. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase, "Love always leaves me behind, and I can't hold onto it even if I try," emphasizing the feeling of helplessness and frustration that comes with a failed romance.
Overall, BPM69 is a poignant song that captures the universal experience of heartbreak and the struggles that come with moving on.
