Life Is Confusing
Langhorne Slim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Least not the way I saw you before
We′re caught up in traffic, the landscape changed
Life is confusing and people are insane
Can we be happy for a while?
Can we just sit here, shut up and smile?
Forgot what we're saying
Life is confusing and people are insane
Life is confusing and people are insane, yeah, oh, hm, oh
Wish that I could see you smile
Wish we could forget ourselves for a while
But your heart is wild
Or if it's been tamed
Life is confusing and people are insane
Life is confusing and people are insane, yeah, oh, hm, oh
Oh, hm, oh
Life is confusing and people are insane
Life is confusing and people are insane
Life is confusing and people are insane
Life is confusing and people are insane
In Langhorne Slim's song "Life Is Confusing", the lyrics tackle the idea of life being a confusing and overwhelming experience, particularly when it comes to relationships with others. The first verse describes a loss of connection with someone previously known, either due to physical distance or changes in their relationship. The second verse highlights the desire for simple contentment, without the added complications of overthinking or excessive talking.
The repetition of the line "Life is confusing and people are insane" emphasizes the idea that no matter how much we try to understand life or connect with others, it will always be a complicated and often frustrating experience. The chorus also contrasts the idea of wanting to make meaningful connections with others, while also acknowledging the difficulties and pitfalls that come with attempting to form these relationships.
Overall, the song captures the themes of confusion, disillusionment, and the struggle to connect with others that many people face throughout their lives. It serves as a reminder that despite the challenges we may face in our relationships or in understanding life itself, it’s important to keep a sense of humor and perspective.
