Roman Lob Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Try to get why I feel this blame
but it don't get it
Even on a minute
But Ithink he's never been in love
Try to ask my friends
What they think I should do
So this time I turn to you
Tell me what to do
Cause I'm so conflicted
So conflicted
I'm loosing my mind
And I'm so addicted
And so sick of you
At the same time
Tell me what's on your mind
All pretend that I'm blind
I can see that you're hurting too
That you single all lights
When the more that you lied
Is it because you decided
It's the best to leave it alone
Baby isn't it time
That we let her go down
And along this feelings through
Baby now I turn to you
Let's figure out what to do
Cause I'm so conflicted
So conflicted
I'm loosing my mind
And I'm so addicted
And so sick of you
At the same time
Oh, I'm so conflicted
So conflicted
Going out of my mind
Cause I feel disconnected
And in Love with you
At the same time
People say when your heart is over
There's a way to be free
So turn around
I need to tell you something
And something you should tell me
Baby I'm so conflicted
So conflicted
I'm loosing my mind
Cause I'm so addicted
And so sick of you
At the same time
Yes, I'm so conflicted
So conflicted
Going out of my mind
Can I be disconnected
And in love with you
At the same time
The lyrics of Roman Lob's song "Conflicted" convey the complex emotions and inner struggle of a person in a conflicting and confusing romantic relationship. The singer feels torn between their strong addiction to and love for their partner and the growing sense of frustration and disillusionment in the relationship. The first few lines describe the singer's visit to a therapist who fails to comprehend their emotional turmoil. The singer then turns to their friends for advice, but their suggestions offer no clarity or help. Finally, the singer confesses their confusion and despair to their partner, hoping to find a way to resolve their conflicting feelings.
The chorus of the song repeats the word "conflicted" to emphasize the singer's emotional state while describing the complicated mix of emotions they feel towards their partner. The lyrics suggest that the singer is aware of the impossibility and futility of their situation, but they cannot overcome the pull of their addiction and love. The use of repetition, metaphor, and contrast amplifies the emotional weight of the song, evoking a sense of unease and tension that builds towards the end.
In summary, "Conflicted" is a poignant and relatable portrayal of love's complexity and the difficulty of navigating a troubled relationship. The lyrics capture the conflicting and contrasting emotions that arise when love and addiction coexist, and the listener is left with a sense of longing and heartbreak.
