Lightspeed Champion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the movie has just stopped
Music in the background
Smell of sweat crowding the room
The walls keep moving pushing us together
I hope my lies will come true
At least in the next hour
So close to being sick right now
We do, we do, we did it, I'm done
The after is too much, I won't let you stay
We do, we do, we did it, I'm done
The after is too much, I won't let you stay
So now you'll see
I was taught
Yeah, I learned this weapon
We all used the art
"I Could Have Done This Myself" by Lightspeed Champion is a song that explores the aftermath of a sexual encounter between two people. The lyrics describe a situation where the curtains are drawn and a movie has just ended, while music plays in the background. The room is filled with the smell of sweat, and the walls seem to be pushing the two people together. The singer hopes that his lies will come true in the next hour, giving a sense of the desperation and disillusionment he feels towards the encounter. The chorus repeats the phrase "We do, we do, we did it, I'm done", emphasizing the emptiness and dissatisfaction that the singer feels after the experience.
The second verse of the song suggests that the singer has learned how to use sex as a weapon, indicating that he may have used lies or manipulation to get the other person to sleep with him. The last line of the verse, "We all used the art", suggests that this is a common tactic amongst people who engage in casual sex, and that it is an art that has been perfected by many.
The song's lyrics are a reflection on the emptiness and disappointment that can come with casual sex, and the sense of detachment that can accompany such experiences. The singer is left feeling unfulfilled and used, suggesting that sex is not always the answer to his problems. The music itself is haunting and melancholic, with slow, mournful chords that convey the sense of regret and sadness that the singer is feeling.
