Repeat
Luke Hemmings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of all that's said and done
The love that you borrowed
In the morning's come and gone
You run from tomorrow
But the madness catches up
The pain from the window
Yeah, it all keeps stackin' up
This is all we are, we are
This is all we are
You seem so damn familiar
But I just can't place the name
You're starin' in the mirror
But your face won't stay the same
Been waitin' for so long
But the moment never came
If life's a game of inches
How'd you get miles away?
Away
Hand to the bible
But my wrongs stay in place
Lost in the rubble
But the house stands all the same
You bet on the sorrow
Now your heart is overrun
You fear what you don't know
Tell me, what have I become?
This is all we are, we are
This is all we are
You seem so damn familiar
But I just can't place the name
You're starin' in the mirror
But your face won't stay the same
Been waitin' for so long
But the moment never came
If life's a game of inches
How'd you get miles away?
Away
Leave me in the dark, leave me in the dark
Tell me what to see, tell me what to see
Let it fall apart, let it fall apart
Livin' on repeat
Leave me in the dark, leave me in the dark
Tell me what to see, tell me what to see
Let it fall apart, let it fall apart
Livin' on repeat
"Repeat" by Luke Hemmings is a beautifully introspective song conveying the idea that life can be monotonous, repetitive, and draining. The singer is stuck in a rut, reliving the same moments over and over again. The lyrics are very personal and the vivid imagery creates a palpable sense of loneliness, a feeling that becomes even more poignant as the song progresses.
The first verse describes a person who is living in the shadows of what has already happened. They are stuck in a cycle of borrowing love, watching it disappear at the end of the day, only to be replaced by the same old pain, frustrations, and anxieties. The lyrics suggest that this person is running away from tomorrow, but no matter how hard they try, they are still caught up in their own madness. The use of the word “stacking” suggests that the pain is becoming too much for the person to bear, even though they are putting on a brave face on the outside.
The chorus reinforces the idea that “this is all we are,” which suggests that the singer and the listener alike are trapped in the present. The lyrics describe the feeling of being stuck in a rut, with no hope of breaking free. The lines “you seem so damn familiar, but I just can’t place the name” and “been waiting for so long, but the moment never came” express the feeling of being lost, frustrated, and stuck. The second verse takes a more spiritual tone, referencing the bible and how the person’s wrongs are sticking with them. The chorus is repeated, emphasizing that the feeling of being trapped is universal and timeless.

Here in the shadow
Starting in a place of darkness and obscurity
Of all that's said and done
Reflecting on the past and the things that have been said and done
The love that you borrowed
A love that was not genuine or wholehearted
In the morning's come and gone
Time has passed and the moment is gone
You run from tomorrow
Avoiding facing the future
But the madness catches up
The consequences of your actions eventually catch up to you
The pain from the window
A view of the world that brings pain and grief
Yeah, it all keeps stackin' up
One problem after another, creating an overwhelming pile of issues
This is all we are, we are
Acknowledging the limited nature of human existence and experience
You seem so damn familiar
Recognizing a person who is known but not easily remembered
But I just can't place the name
Unable to identify the individual despite their familiarity
You're starin' in the mirror
Examining oneself in a reflective and introspective way
But your face won't stay the same
A sense of change and inconsistency in one's self-perception
Been waitin' for so long
Longing for a specific moment or experience
But the moment never came

How'd you get miles away?

Hand to the bible
Swearing or affirming truthfulness on a holy book
But my wrongs stay in place
Despite the oath, the mistakes and misdeeds committed cannot be erased
Lost in the rubble
Feeling overwhelmed and lost in chaos and destruction
But the house stands all the same
Despite turmoil, some things remain constant and unchanging
You bet on the sorrow
Choosing to invest in sadness and despair
Now your heart is overrun
Feeling overwhelmed and consumed by negative emotions
You fear what you don't know
Anxiety and apprehension towards the unknown
Tell me, what have I become?
A plea for self-reflection and examination
Leave me in the dark, leave me in the dark
Preferring to remain in a state of ignorance or unawareness
Tell me what to see, tell me what to see
Lacking direction and relying on others for guidance
Let it fall apart, let it fall apart
Allowing everything to crumble and disintegrate
Livin' on repeat
Stuck in a cycle of repetition, never moving forward or progressing

"Repetir"
Aquí, a la sombra
De todo lo dicho y hecho
El amor que tomaste prestado
En la mañana viene y se va
Corres desde mañana
Pero la locura te alcanza
El dolor de la ventana
Sí, todo se sigue acumulando
Esto es todo lo que somos, somos
esto es todo lo que somos
Usted parece tan maldita familiarizado
pero simplemente no puede colocar el nombre
Usted está mirando en un espejo
, pero su cara no se quedará el mismo
estado esperando durante tanto tiempo, pero el momento nunca llegó
Si la vida es un juego de pulgadas, ¿cómo te alejaste millas? Mano
lejana
a la BibliaPero
mis errores siguen en su
lugarPerdido en los escombros
Pero la casa sigue en pie de todos
modos Apuestes por el dolor
Ahora tu corazón está invadido
Temes lo que no sabes
Dime en qué me he convertido
Esto es todo lo que somos, somos
Esto es todo lo que somos
Pareces tan malditamente familiar
Pero Simplemente no puedo poner el nombre
Estás mirando en un espejo
Pero tu cara no permanecerá igual He
estado esperando tanto tiempo pero el momento nunca llegó
Si la vida es un juego de pulgadas, ¿cómo te alejaste millas?
Lejos
Dejadme en la oscuridad, me deja en la oscuridad
Dime qué ver, dime qué ver
Deje caer a pedazos, lo dejó caer, aparte
de estar en la repetición
Dejadme en la oscuridad, me deja en la oscuridad
Dime qué ver, dime qué ver
Deje caer a pedazos, lo dejó caer, aparte
de estar en la repetición
