Interested in music from a young age, the San Francisco-born Leff took piano and viola lessons as a child before picking up the guitar around age 11. During high school, he played in several bands and studied jazz before discovering electronic music production. However, it was while attending N.Y.U. as a music tech major in 2014 that a bad breakup found Leff on his own and digging deep into his writing and recording process. Out of this period came the song "The Other," co-written with songwriter/instrumentalist Michael Matosic. Released under Leff's stage name Lauv (inspired by the Latvian "lauva" or lion), the song went viral after gaining blog attention and peaked at number three on blog aggregator Hype Machine. In 2015 he returned with his debut EP, Lost in the Light, which featured "The Other."
More tracks followed, including 2015's "Reforget" and 2016's "Question," featuring Travis Mills. In 2017 Lauv headed his own Late Nights, Deep Talks tour and premiered the official video for "The Other," along with a series of remixes. Released in May of that year, Lauv's single "I Like Me Better" became a breakout international hit and was later featured on his self-titled second EP that October. The single was also included on his full-length debut, 2018's I Met You When I Was 18, which also featured the singles "Paranoid" and "Bracelet." Hit collaborations with Julia Michaels ("There's No Way") and Troye Sivan ("I'm So Tired...") carried him into 2019. Lauv's debut album "~how i'm feeling~" is set to be released in March 2020.
... i'm so tired
Lauv Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tired of love songs, tired of love
Just wanna go home, wanna go home
Wanna go home, whoa
So tired of love songs, tired of love songs
Tired of love songs, tired of love
Just wanna go home, wanna go home
Wanna go home, whoa
Party
Trying my best to meet somebody
But everybody around me's fallin' in love to our song
I, I, oh I, yeah
Hate it
Taking the shot 'cause I can't take it
But I don't think they make anything that strong
So I hold on
I, I, oh I, yeah
I'm so tired of love songs, tired of love songs
Tired of love songs, tired of love
Just wanna go home, wanna go home
Wanna go home, whoa
So tired of love songs, tired of love songs
Tired of love songs, tired of love
Just wanna go home, wanna go home
Wanna go home, whoa
Strangers
Killing my lonely nights with strangers
And when they leave, I go back to our song, I hold on
I, I, oh I
Hurts like heaven, lost in the sound
Buzzcut season like you're still around
Can't unmiss you and I need you now
Yeah, I, I, oh I, yeah
I'm so tired of love songs, tired of love songs
Tired of love songs, tired of love
Just wanna go home, wanna go home
Wanna go home, whoa
So tired of love songs, tired of love songs
Tired of love songs, tired of love
Just wanna go home, wanna go home
Wanna go home, whoa
I'm so tired of love songs, tired of love songs (someone take me home)
Tired of love songs, tired of love
Just wanna go home, wanna go home ('cause I can't be alone)
Wanna go home, whoa
So tired of love songs, tired of love songs (I'm so tired)
Tired of love songs, tired of love
Just wanna go home, wanna go home
Wanna go home, whoa
The lyrics of Lauv's "I'm so tired..." express the singer's exhaustion with hearing love songs played everywhere around them. The repetition of the phrase "tired of love songs" emphasizes this feeling of being overwhelmed and worn out by the constant presence of love in music and society. The repeated desire to "go home" suggests a longing for familiarity and comfort in the midst of all the romantic sentiment.
The second verse introduces the idea that the singer has been seeking love or companionship, but has not found it. This leaves them feeling more isolated, as everyone around them seems to be falling in love. They turn to spending nights with strangers instead, but even that is ultimately unfulfilling because it only reminds them of their own loneliness. The reference to "our song" implies that the singer used to have a significant other, and that their breakup or absence is the reason for the singer's current fatigue with love songs.
Overall, the song communicates a sense of resignation and apathy towards love, as if the singer has given up on the possibility of romantic connection. The contrast between the upbeat tempo and the melancholy lyrics adds to the irony of the song, as if the singer is trying to convince themselves to be cheerful even as they admit their weariness.

@@kapilgulwani7152 Judging the entertainers righteously:
they are:
DECEIVERS
MTFs and FTMs
cowards
masons puppets
greedy
in love of all lies
demon possessed
members of one big club: FREEMASONRY
Analyse them, you`ll get same results.
And they all let us know, by placing the masonic hand signs and symbols into all music videos, movies, concerts, magazines, album covers…..
(As if judging is often unjust by many, so is free speech willed with nonsense , because of the lack of knowledge. 1st go and gain KNOWLEDGE, which you missing and then worry about you being allowed to judge and speak free or not. Take a listen around the world, many are just noise makers, having no knowledge about that they talk about, nobody truly listens them. These 2 verses describe perfectly many human souls situation:
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Job 34:35 Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.)

"Somebody cover up my ears
Somebody save me from my heart
Somebody take me far from here
And rip the speakers out my car
Cause I'm ready to love you
Or I'm ready to lose you
But I can't wait here any longer."
Huhu I died.
