J-Friends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I wake up I look in the mirror and I see
The person that's been scaring me away from moving on
And getting out of my house
I end my nights in the same spot that I told myself I would leave
I want to come home and have it be like it was before I left
I'm starting to see that I keep leaving alone in the past
I can't shake it off
Always a fight between my past,
My head, and my heart, you can cut me up
And spread me all over Illinois
I can't, I can't find myself
Since loneliness will never leave my mind
I'm stuck and I feel like I'm the only one
I end my nights in the same spot that I told myself I would leave
I want to come home and have it be like it was before I left
I'm starting to see that I keep leaving alone in the past
Since loneliness will never leave my hand
Did I get left behind?
Or is everybody else just hiding that they're lost
Loneliness will never leave my mind
Loneliness will never leave my mind
Did I get left behind?
Or is everybody else just hiding that they're lost
The song "Love Me All Over" by J-Friends revolves around the theme of loneliness and the feelings of being stuck and unable to move on. The lyrics speak about the struggles of the singer with change, which he feels is holding him down in places where he does not want to be. He talks about waking up every day and looking in the mirror to see the person that has been stopping him from moving on, and getting out of his house. He ends his nights in the same spot that he told himself he would leave, unable to break free from the cycle of loneliness and feeling lost.
The singer's longing for home is a recurring motif in the song, which he equates with a time when things were better before he left. However, he realizes that he keeps leaving the feeling of being alone behind in the past, and it is something that he cannot shake off. The lyrics speak of a continuous fight between his past, head, and heart, which is a rhetorical device used to emphasize the singer's inner turmoil. He feels stuck and unable to find himself, while the feelings of loneliness continue to haunt him.
It is evident that the singer questions if he got left behind or if everybody else is hiding that they are lost, which showcases his feelings of isolation and the disconnect from the world around him. The chorus of the song drives home the message of how loneliness will never leave his mind, and it is something he has to live with.
