Loop
Hubcaps Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Our words are on loop
Our words are on loop
Our words are on loop
Our words are on loop
and I know i’m here
The bats fight
When I look at them
When the doorbell sounds
My bed is unmade
The creases on my face
I know I’m here
When I breathe in
When the wallpaper is ruining
(Its ruining)
When our words are on loop x 2
When the doorbell sounds
When I look at them
Feel the creases on my face
The bats fight
When our words are on loop x 2
The pictures hang crooked
The lyrics of Hubcaps's song "Loop" seem to convey a sense of repetition, stuckness, and a feeling of being trapped. The repetition of the line "Our words are on loop" emphasizes that communication between the singer and another person is stuck in a cycle, perhaps a cycle of arguments or misunderstandings. This could imply a lack of progress or resolution in their relationship.
The next set of lines introduces some imagery that adds to the feeling of being trapped. The mention of bats fighting and a gate creaking creates a sense of unease and tension. The singer also mentions looking at something, possibly referring to the people they are communicating with, and the sound of a doorbell, which could symbolize an interruption or change in the monotony. The description of an unmade bed and creases on the face might signify a lack of rest or sleep, further contributing to the feeling of being stuck in an uncomfortable place.
The repetition of the line "When our words are on loop" reinforces the idea that communication is stagnant and unproductive. The mention of the wallpaper ruining adds to the sense of decay or deterioration, suggesting that the situation is gradually worsening. The line "Feel the creases on my face" implies that the singer is conscious of the stress and strain caused by this continuous loop and the impact it is having on their physical well-being.
Finally, the mention of crookedly hung pictures serves as a visual representation of the disarray and imbalance in the singer's life. It can be interpreted as a metaphor for the overall state of their relationship and personal circumstances. The repeated phrases and imagery throughout the song emphasize a feeling of being trapped, unable to break free from this loop and find resolution or progress.
