Being Alone on Valentine's Day
Lemon Demon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Normally, I don't exude lugubriosity,
But this year I am curious,
What it's like to feel blue.
Though it may be spurious,
I've got nothing else to do.
And I'm gonna shed tear after tear.
But Valentine's comes but once a year,
I might as well give it a try.
So I'll partake in all the weeping whims that I can find,
Maybe watch Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Or dress all grim and gruesome
And drive until I'm ill.
Watch the happy twosomes,
Whom, if I were truly lonely, I would probably want to kill.
And I'm gonna shed tear after tear.
Not that I'm a lonely guy,
But Valentine's comes but once a year,
I might as well give it a try.

This song is so strangely relatable?
Sometimes I find myself wanting to be sad. Not because I like the feeling, but I guess it just makes me feel like my opinions are more educated, or something? It's a complicated feeling but I'm glad to know I'm not the only person that feels these sorts of things
@m5676
I have to point out that I'm the 69th like I'm so sorry lmao
@Checkmate___
You may wanna look into the term "aromantic" if you haven't already, lots of aro ppl feel like they should be sad over not having a partner cause it's kinda what has been imposed onto us
