Hometown Losers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Losing track of attention
Flicker me until you're sick of me shaking left to right
Promise we'll be alright, nothing new in our sight but you
Slap me into place when you have no more face to save
Set me aside from the screaming
Bleeding without a reason
Holding on, I'm holding on
Swinging with your answers
And dancing around my questions
You are the epitome of darkness I can't bear to see
On and on with the same old shit
Addicted to people that we can't quit
For worse or better we're still together
Set me aside from the screaming
Bleeding without a reason
Set me aside from the screaming
Holding on, I'm holding on
I can't take it
I can't take it
We're holding on, we're holding on
We're holding on, we're holding on
The lyrics of "Threads" by Hometown Losers portray a sense of frustration and uncertainty in a relationship. The opening lines, "Spinning without direction, Losing track of attention," suggest a feeling of being lost or unsteady. The singer feels constantly manipulated and tossed around, as expressed through the words "Flicker me until you're sick of me shaking left to right" and "Slap me into place when you have no more face to save." Despite the chaos, there is a glimmer of hope as they affirm that "Promise we'll be alright."
The second verse delves deeper into the complexity of the relationship. The image of "Swinging with your answers, And dancing around my questions" reveals a lack of transparency and honesty between them. The other person is described as the embodiment of darkness, someone the singer cannot bear to witness. The repetition of "On and on with the same old shit" further emphasizes the cyclical nature of their relationship, willingly staying attached to people they cannot let go of.
The chorus, "Set me aside from the screaming, Bleeding without a reason," conveys a desire to distance oneself from the turmoil and pain caused by this relationship. Yet, despite the difficulties, the singer admits to holding on, unsure of what keeps them connected but reluctant to let go.
