Loop
Paces Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lying where you left
You're in my head walkin' ‘round the same old street
Back and forth and repeat
Night for daylight
You're the only one who makes me feel alive
You're breakin' my heart
You're the only one to get me off this ride
And it goes on and on and on
I'm jumping through your hoops like
Oh oh oh oh ohh
On and on and on
You got me in your loop like
Oh oh oh oh ohh
Oh oh oh oh ohh
Oh oh oh oh ohh
We kiss, make up
But the truth is hard to find
When we never change our minds
Love turns to ice ‘cause it's harder to rewind
What's been done is left behind
Night for daylight
You're the only one who makes me feel alive
You're breakin' my heart
You're the only one to get me off this ride
On and on and on
I'm jumping through your hoops like
Oh oh oh oh ohh
On and on and on
You got me in your loop like
Oh oh oh oh ohh
Oh oh oh oh ohh
Oh oh oh oh ohh
Stuck in a loop and I can't get out
Stuck in a loop and I can't get out
Ooh
Ooh
Stuck in a loop and I can't get out
Stuck in a loop and I can't get out of loving you
You
On and on and on
I'm jumping through your hoops like
Oh oh oh oh ohh
On and on and on
You got me in your loop like
Oh oh oh oh ohh
Oh oh oh oh ohh
Oh oh oh oh ohh
In “Loop”, Paces describes a toxic relationship that he's unable to leave, despite knowing that it's harmful. Starting with a melancholic, yet hopeful verse, Paces explains that there are “promises” that have been “broken”. This could be linked to the feeling of broken trust in a relationship that leads him to repeat the same things over and over again in his head. Even after a break-up or a fight, he claims that his love-interest still wanders his mind, just like the old street that he walks in his head. This could mean that he's still stuck in a loop of memories and routine which makes it difficult for him to cut the ties.
Paces repeatedly refers to the concept of being “stuck in a loop” as a metaphor for his situation. Rather than making a conscious decision, he's constantly jumping through his partner's hoops to keep them happy. Though he wants to break the cycle, he's unable to because of his deep attachment. The constant repitition of the phrase “Oh oh oh oh ohh” could be interpreted as the sound of him feeling trapped, as if he's calling for help to escape. The chorus repeats how the relationship has become cyclical, without any end in sight. It's a reminder of the fact that he's in the same place, and that he's not able to move on from his feelings, which causes him deep suffering.
Overall, Paces presents a vulnerable outlook in “Loop”, addressing the challenges of leaving a toxic relationship with a partner he still loves. Through the use of metaphors and repetition, he depicts the cyclical nature of relationships, and how they can be difficult to break out of, even when it's causing pain.

SUVs are just ugly boxes, Jags are supposed to be sleek and elegant. Hate the way all these great Marques like Cadillac and Bentley are churning these things out now
