Losing You
Mitch Watkins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Late at night
As I lay sleeping
All the vampires
They come creeping
They drink my blood
And steal my soul

And I don't bother
To lock my door
I just don't care
Anymore
This house is empty
And black as coal

[Chorus:]
And it's got nothing
No it's got nothing to do
With the realization
I'm losing you

Feel like a captain
Sailing out to sea
And all I carry
Are these memories
The ship is sinking
And there's no way home

[Chorus]

And all the people
That I know
They all tell me
Just goes to show




That no matter where you are
You're still alone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mitch Watkins's song Losing You depict a feeling of loneliness and despair, as the singer feels like they are losing grip on everything they hold dear. The opening lines depict the singer's fear of the unknown, represented as 'vampires' that come creeping in to steal their blood and soul as they sleep. The imagery of vampires, a classic horror symbol, highlights the singer's anxiety and lack of control over their life, as if they are constantly being attacked from all sides. The singer then goes on to reveal their apathy toward their situation, not bothering to lock their door or protect themselves anymore. They then describe their surroundings as 'empty' and 'black as coal', highlighting the bleakness of their situation.


The chorus of the song reveals that the singer's loss of hope and despair 'has got nothing to do' with the realization that they are losing you. This indicates that the cause of their anxiety and feelings of loneliness is not necessarily rooted in their relationship with someone else, but rather a deeper internal struggle. The second verse of the song illustrates the singer's sense of hopelessness, as they compare themselves to a captain sailing alone at sea, carrying only memories with them. They feel like they are sinking and there is no hope of rescue. The final lines of the chorus reveal the underlying sentiment of isolation and loneliness, as the singer reveals that 'no matter where you are, you're still alone'. This line highlights the universal feeling of loneliness, as one can be surrounded by people and still feel isolated and disconnected.

Late at night
During the night when it is dark


As I lay sleeping
When I was laying down to sleep


All the vampires
People who take advantage of others


They come creeping
They come in quietly and unnoticed


They drink my blood
They take away my energy and life force


And steal my soul
They take away my emotions and feelings


And I don't bother
I don't take action or care


To lock my door
To secure my safety and protection


I just don't care
I'm indifferent


Anymore
I don't feel anything


This house is empty
There's nothing here for me


And black as coal
It's dark and gloomy


And it's got nothing
The situation doesn't have any correlation


No it's got nothing to do
Is not related


With the realization
With understanding and becoming aware


I'm losing you
I'm losing someone special to me


Feel like a captain
I feel like a leader


Sailing out to sea
Going out into the unknown


And all I carry
The only thing I have left


Are these memories
Are my past experiences


The ship is sinking
Everything is falling apart


And there's no way home
And there's no going back


And all the people
Everyone


That I know
That I'm familiar with


They all tell me
They all inform me


Just goes to show
It's proof


That no matter where you are
That regardless of location


You're still alone
You will always be by yourself
