LiveonRelease's genre of music follows the likes of Blink-182. The name, LiveonRelease, originated from basketball jargon. Basketball is Brittin's favorite sport.

Losing Gravity
LiveonRelease Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
here i am
losing gravity
2ooo miles from the way it's supposed to be
i really feel like i'm sellin my soul here
forget myself, i cant face my own face in the mirror
if i gave you fire would you turn it back on me?
if they can find the trail of gasoline
if they're still not convinced
we could meet over coffee
and tell it like it was while you sit distractedly
and i will fade into the background
out of touch with reality
(CHORUS)
here i am
losing gravity
2ooo miles from the way it's supposed to be
i really feel like i'm sellin my soul here
forget myself, i cant face my own face in the mirror
i never asked for this, as much as i came to receive
if you stop dragging me under, i'll feel compelled to leave
you are my fuel, i am your match stick
and i'm combusting ever so gently
(CHORUS)
here i am
losing gravity
2ooo miles from the way it's supposed to be
i really feel like i'm sellin my soul here
forget myself, i cant face my own face in the mirror
i'm afraid of myself
and i'm coming apart at the seams
it's better when i lie
so i'll keep smiling while i'm kissing this world goodbye
i really feel like i'm selling my soul here
forget myself, i cant face my own face in the mirror
(CHORUS)
here i am
losing gravity
2ooo miles from the way it's supposed to be
i really feel like i'm sellin my soul here
forget myself, i cant face my own face (in the mirror)
The lyrics of LiveonRelease's song Losing Gravity depict the struggles of an individual who feels like they are losing themselves and drifting away from their true self, as they grapple with situations that are not aligned with how they envisioned their life to be. The lyrics suggest that the individual is feeling incomplete, almost as if they are selling their soul, and cannot face themselves in the mirror. They are struggling with their own identity and feel like they are coming apart at the seams. The repetitive chorus emphasizes the gravity of the situation, almost as if the individual is in free fall, losing touch with reality, and drifting away from the way things are "supposed to be."
The lyrics also touch upon themes of self-doubt and vulnerability, as the individual questions whether they are truly in control of their own fate or if they are being manipulated or controlled by external forces. They fear that if they give into their emotions, they might get hurt or end up losing their self-identity altogether. The line "you are my fuel, I am your matchstick, and I'm combusting ever so gently" is particularly striking, as it suggests that the individual is in a relationship that revolves around fire and gasoline, a combination that can be explosive and dangerous.
