Sober
Kasia Lins Lyrics

The lyrics of Kasia Lins's song "Sober" convey the emotions and thoughts of a person who is struggling to move on after a relationship has ended. The repetition of the lines "All the time I bear it in my mind, his eyes fixed on me when we met, I'm having a tough time, and strange to say we never meet again" shows that the memory of the former partner is constantly present and painful. The person is searching for their former partner everywhere, with the repeated lines "I've been lookin' for him everywhere, I've been lookin' for him everyday" revealing the desperation and anxiety in trying to reconnect with that person. The chorus, "I'm sober, it's not a fairy-tale, I wanna see you once again" reinforces the idea that the person is aware that their desire to reconcile is not a fleeting notion, but rather a sober and conscious decision made to reconnect with their former partner.

The meaning of the song is that moving on from a relationship is not easy and sometimes the pain of loving and losing someone can be overwhelming. It is not just a physical addiction that people need to overcome but also an emotional one. The term "sober" in the song’s chorus serves as a metaphorical alert for the singer’s mental state. The message that the song seems to convey is that overcoming emotional attachment requires the same kind of inner strength as overcoming a physical addiction.
