Deja Vrooom
Rory Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lit cigarette and a break-up note
This time I'm gonna go for broken
Burning holes through all the words
That got to me the most

She said this is what you get when
Everything you do in life's a mistake
Try not to fuck things up again
Oh no, I think I'll find another bar

This town's like a bad infection
I keep heading in the wrong direction
Everyone keeps telling me
I better play it safe

This is what you get when
Everything you do in life's a mistake
Try not to fuck things up again
Someday I'll catch up to where I've been (and we're headed in the wrong direction)
I'm so tired but home is where the hope is

I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe without your oxygen

I can't breathe
I can't breathe
Breathe

Conscious but I'm barely breathing
Oh my god the thoughts are seeping
In the alley way
I'm feeling dizzy hit the floor

This is what you get when
Everything you do in life's a mistake
Try not to fuck things up again
Someday I'll catch up to where I've been (and we're headed in the wrong direction)
I'm so tired but home is where the hope is

I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe without your oxygen

I can't breathe
I can't breathe
Breathe

My words are slurring but I won't stop singin on
My words are slurring but I won't stop singin on
My words are slurring but I won't stop singin on
My words are slurring but I won't stop singin on

Turn me upside (ohh you know you want it)
Turn me upside down (ohh you know you need it)
Turn me upside (ohh you know you want it)
Turn me upside down (ohh you know you need it)
Turn me upside (ohh you know you want it)
Turn me upside down (ohh you know you need it)
Turn me upside (ohh you know want it)
Turn me upside down (ohh you know you need it)

I'll never believe in love again
I'll never believe in love again

Someday I'll catch up to where I've been
I'm so tired but home is where the hope is

I can't breathe without you
I can't breathe without you
I can't breathe without you
I can't breathe without you

I think we've been through this before
I think we've been through this before
I think we've been through this before
I think we've been through this before





I think we've been through this before

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rory's song Deja Vrooom talk about the pain that comes with a breakup and a feeling of being stuck in a rut. The first verse begins with a lit cigarette and a break-up note, which suggests that the singer has recently been dumped. They're hurt and tired, and this time, they've decided to go all-in on their emotions. The singer is burning holes through all the words that have hurt them the most in the past. Nevertheless, the singer's ex is not ready to be together anymore and tells them that this is what they get when everything they do in life is a mistake, warning them not to mess things up again.


The chorus is where the singer confesses that they can't breathe without their ex. They feel suffocated and dependent on their ex's oxygen to function. The second verse talks about the singer's struggle to deal with the pain of the breakup. They feel like they're heading in the wrong direction, and everyone around them is warning them to play it safe. Nonetheless, they can't help but feel like their home is where the hope is. The final section of the song repeats the chorus and highlights the message's idea of familiarity.


Overall, the song is a powerful message to everyone who has ever been through a painful breakup. Rory's vocals and the catchy beat of the song draw attention to the message of the lyrics. The lyrics describe how it can be difficult to move past the pain caused by a broken relationship and how the pain of remembering and reliving these events feels familiar.

I honestly have no clue. I wasn't a very big fan of the CD they put out after this one and haven't heard a thing since. I just wanted to make sure this album was out there for people to enjoy... it was an awesome concert.
