Missing
H.1 Lyrics

H.1's "Missing" is a song about fear and avoidance of falling in love. The first verse begins with the singer admitting that they have been holding their breath for months and trying hard not to care too much. The fear of falling in love is so strong that they have been tying knots with their own tongue. The singer is shutting down emotionally, trying to talk themselves out of showing up to any parties where their love interest might be around. The fear of rejection or heartbreak is so great that they are trying to convince themselves that they don't want this person, and they are trying to be okay with missing out on any potential relationship. The singer admits that they never make much sense and can be socially awkward, but they still want to know how their love interest is doing, which shows that they still have feelings for them.

The chorus repeats the line "turning off these feelings," emphasizing how the singer is shutting themselves off emotionally. They are terrified of how a relationship with this person might end, and they would rather avoid the possibility of love altogether than risk getting hurt.

The song ends with the singer repeating the line "turning off these feelings," emphasizing the bleakness of their situation. It's a powerful and emotional ballad that conveys the fear and avoidance that can come with falling in love.
