Losing You
Sleeperstar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where the earth meets the sun in the distance,
So hard to find it
Where the ocean makes it's entrance
Everyone loses what they're trying to hold on to,
And it's so hard to find it.
So hard to find it
So hard to fight it
While we're trying to fight it just to make it through,
Everyone bruises, even those who defend you
And it's so hard to fight it.
Honest and true,
The hardest was losing you.
The hardest was losing you.
So hard to fight it
When I thought you had come to your senses,
So hard to fight it
When my heart is digging trenches,
Wishing for once that you'd just taken my side,
I can no longer fight it.
Honest and true,
The hardest was losing you.
Lying here tonight,
Sleeping alone, sleeping alone again,
And all I wanna do
Is leave it alone, leave it alone.
Lying here tonight
Sleeping alone, sleeping alone,
And all I wanna do
Is leave it alone, let go.
Honest and true,
The hardest was losing you.
The hardest was losing you.
In Sleeperstar's song "Losing You", the lyrics evoke the feelings of loss, confusion and disappointment that often come with the end of a meaningful relationship. The song starts by painting a picture of how hard it can be to find a true connection with someone (“Where the earth meets the sun in the distance, so hard to find it / Where the ocean makes it's entrance”). The gap between two individuals can often feel like an insurmountable distance, as elusive as the earth-meeting-sun horizon line or a vast, ever-changing ocean.
The chorus illustrates the idea that losing someone important in one's life is just a natural part of living ("Everyone loses what they're trying to hold on to"). The verses expand on this idea, by exploring the feelings of betrayal and sadness that come with a lost relationship. The singer admits that it's hard to fight these feelings when trying to move on, especially when he is forced to face the realization that even the people who defend him can hurt him ("Everyone bruises, even those who defend you").
Overall, "Losing You" is a poignant reflection on the journey of love and loss, and the inherent struggles that come along with it. The singer acknowledges the pain of losing someone, but ultimately comes to the conclusion that sometimes letting go is the only way to find peace and comfort.
