Goth Songs
Froglady Lyrics

The lyrics to Froglady's song "Goth Songs" express a conflicted emotional state. The singer admits to being physically present with someone they love, but their thoughts are preoccupied with memories of someone else. The line "trying to force the fall" suggests that the singer is bracing themselves for the end of the relationship they are currently in, and is perhaps subconsciously pushing away their current partner in anticipation of the pain they will experience when the relationship inevitably ends. The repeated refrain of "I know this won't last" reinforces this sense of fatalistic inevitability.

In the second half of the song, the focus shifts to music. The singer describes singing along to "all those goth songs," implying a shared connection with the person they are with. However, the repetition of "longing for something in the dark" suggests that there is still an unfulfilled longing within the singer, despite the sense of connection they feel through music. The final repetition of the phrase "longing for something in the dark" implies a desire for something dark and mysterious, a desire that is not being fulfilled even in the context of music and emotional bonds.
