The song "Why" by Glamma Kid is an expression of the pain caused by a love that is not reciprocated or causes more harm than good. The repeated questioning of "why does your love hurt so much" shows the frustration of trying to understand why someone's love can be so painful. The use of "la di da di da" and "ay say ow" gives an impression of trying to mask the hurt and moving past it, but ultimately the pain remains.
The lyrics also touch on the hopelessness of the situation, with the mention of the person saying they will come back someday, but the singer responding with "here's what I say" and a repetition of "la di da di da", showing a sense of resignation to the fact that the relationship may not work out. The overall tone of the song is one of confusion, pain, and a longing to understand why someone's love can cause so much hurt.
