Alphabet Soup
Laika Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't want a word
Got deep in trouble
And my hands got burnt
Ain't nobody love me
That's how I got here
With pockets full of nothing
You broke a heart a many a time
But you'll never break this heart of mine
You broke a heart a many a time
But you'll never break this heart of mine
I'm a fish outta water
A soup in a basket
Gotta get to where I'm going
But don't know how to ask it
Believed in a young man
That's where I went wrong
And now I'm in the gutter
And I ain't got long
He was a callous boy
That much I could see
But the heart's a crazy fool
When it wants to believe
It loses all directions
Forgets how to drive
That honey saw me coming
And skinned me alive
You broke a heart a many a time
But you'll never break this heart of mine
You broke a heart a many a time
But you'll never break this heart of mine
You broke a heart a many a time
But you'll never break this heart of mine
You broke a heart a many a time
But you'll never break this heart of mine
The lyrics of Alphabet Soup by Laika speak of a person who is grappling with the consequences of placing their faith in love and trust in the wrong person. The opening lines of "silence please now, I don't want a word, got deep in trouble, and my hands got burnt," depict the singer's reluctance to talk and face the reality of how they ended up in their current situation. This can be inferred to be a result of a relationship gone wrong, where the person they loved betrayed their trust and left them with nothing but fear and an overwhelming sense of loss. The lines "with pockets full of nothing, and a head full of fear" symbolize their desperation and the feeling of emptiness that comes with being left heartbroken.
The chorus "you broke a heart a many a time, but you'll never break this heart of mine," showcases the resilience and determination of the singer to not let their past traumas define them. The lines "I'm a fish outta water, a soup in a basket, gotta get to where I'm going, but don't know how to ask it," highlight their feeling of being lost, out of place, and unsure about the future. This can be attributed to the fact that they placed their trust in the wrong person, as seen through the lines "believed in a young man, that's where I went wrong, and now I'm in the gutter, and I ain't got long."
The overall theme of the song is the pain of heartbreak and the struggle to move on while overcoming the trust issues and fears that come with it. It also acknowledges the power of love and the role it can play in leading someone astray if they aren't careful.
