Telescope
Hollywood Nobody Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

you've been alright
without me all along
the fact that upsetting
yet a lil bit releaving
time is a mystery
space is a myth
cant be sure where you're going
the darkness tells me nothing

you've been alright
without me all along
the fact that upsetting
yet a lil bit releaving
time is a mystery
space is a myth
cant be sure where you're going
the darkness tells me nothing

we're walking on a different tracks
heading to a different space and time
and i can see you're doing okay
though i'll be using telescope
capturing your moves
deliver love you might not received, not received.

you've been alright
without me all along
the fact that upsetting
yet a lil bit releaving
time is a mystery
space is a myth
cant be sure where you're going
the darkness tells me nothing
we're walking on a different tracks
heading to a different space and time
and i can see you're doing okay
though i'll be using telescope
capturing your moves
deliver love you might not received, not received.
we're walking on a different tracks
heading to a different space and time
and i can see you're doing okay
though i'll be using telescope




capturing your moves
deliver love you might not received, not received.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hollywood Nobody's song Telescope talk about a person who is reflecting on their past relationship. The first lines express the realization that the person they were with has been doing just fine without them. This realization is both upsetting and relieving as it conveys a sense of loss but also a sense of release. The following lines convey the theme of uncertainty, with time being described as a mystery and space as a myth, emphasizing the inability to know what lies ahead.


The verse "we're walking on different tracks, heading to a different space and time" suggests that both parties have moved on and are living their lives. However, the singer is still keeping tabs on the other person using a metaphorical telescope to capture their moves. They want to deliver love that the other person might not have received, indicating a desire to connect even though they are no longer a couple.


The overall theme of the song is the aftermath of a relationship, how it can be both freeing and bittersweet. It speaks to the idea that not all breakups are bad, that sometimes we need to let go of things and people to find our own paths. The song's soothing pace and melody create a sense of nostalgia and allow listeners to relate to the feelings of the singer.
