Soft
Julian Lamadrid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It'd be best if you were selfish
It'd be nice if you were mean
It'd be great if you got jealous
It'd make it easier for me
Cause I really can't explain it
And you can be there at your throne
But I gotta be alone now
It's time to sing a different song
But you just promised me a long die
You've been perfect to the bone
And the fold of things that crushed me
You are the softer that I've known

So numb

So numb

Overall Meaning

In Julian Lamadrid's song Soft, the lyrics express a sense of yearning for a partner who is less perfect and more flawed. The singer wishes that their partner could be selfish, mean, and even jealous, as it would make their own struggles and desires easier to understand. However, despite this desire for imperfection, the partner remains steadfastly kind and supportive, leaving the singer feeling lonely and numb.


The lyrics capture the complexity of relationships and the conflicting emotions that can arise when one partner feels a need for distance or change. The singer recognizes that their partner has been nothing but loving and supportive, yet still yearns for something different. This tension is underscored by the repeated refrain of "so numb," which suggests a feeling of emotional detachment or apathy.


Overall, the lyrics of Soft speak to the challenges of balancing individual needs and desires with the demands of a relationship, and the difficulty of communicating those needs to a partner. The song provides a powerful and poignant reflection on the complexities of human connection and the ways in which we can both seek and push away love and support from those closest to us.
