Sonny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Coming cross the telephone
My mind gets stuck when its sober
And im all alone
(yeah im all alone)
I know you're gonna get sick of me
After talking for a weekend
I don't mind getting strung out on things
(yeah I believe in)
And when my world goes dark
Full of thoughts that I don't want
Come crashing to my bed
Will you hear me when im calling
(yeah im calling)
But im giving up on love for the sake of my sanity
And breaking hearts won't
Bring me the peace that I thought
I wouldn't make it far
(I wouldn't make it far)
So maybe ill just move to Miami
And get stoned on top of my car
Under freeways
And hang out inside of shady bars
I've been hearing that you've
Been feeling not like yourself
Its not easy but babe I don't want nobody else
So come on down to my place
And we can call it a draw
Ill take care of your pain and you can
Lead me down the hall
Im the door on the left
Don't try and act like you're impressed
Girl im far from the best
In fact im just a fucking wreck
So let me know if you've got someone else
That you can call when you've got nothing left
We had it all but then again I guess
Im better off just being by myself
The lyrics of Sonny's song "Signal" explore themes of mixed signals, loneliness, and the struggle with love and one's own mental state. The singer expresses their fear of sending mixed messages and feeling stuck when they're sober and alone. They acknowledge the potential for the other person to grow tired of them, but also accept their willingness to invest in things they believe in.
The chorus reflects the vulnerability and desperation felt during darker moments. The singer questions if they will be heard when they reach out for help in their darkest moments and contemplates the idea of giving up on love for the sake of their sanity. They acknowledge that breaking hearts won't bring them the peace they seek and express doubts about their own ability to succeed.
In the second verse, the singer considers escaping to Miami and finding solace in getting high on top of their car and spending time in shady bars. They mention hearing that the other person hasn't been feeling like themselves, but they don't want anyone else. They invite the other person to come to their place for comfort and support, offering to take care of their pain while also acknowledging their own flaws and admitting to being a wreck.
The song concludes with a plea for the other person to let the singer know if they have someone else to turn to when they have nothing left. The singer reflects on the past, acknowledging that they had it all but ultimately suggests that they might be better off alone.
Line by Line Meaning
I hope I didn't give you mixed signals
I hope I didn't confuse you with my words or actions
Coming cross the telephone
Communicating through phone calls
My mind gets stuck when its sober
I struggle with negative thoughts and emotions when I'm not under the influence
And im all alone (yeah im all alone)
I feel lonely and isolated
I know you're gonna get sick of me
I'm aware that you will eventually grow tired of me
After talking for a weekend
After spending a weekend together
I don't mind getting strung out on things
I don't mind becoming obsessed with things
That I believe in (yeah I believe in)
That I have strong faith or attachment to
And when my world goes dark
When I'm in a state of darkness or despair
Full of thoughts that I don't want
Filled with unwanted or negative thoughts
Come crashing to my bed
Overwhelming me and affecting my sleep
Will you hear me when im calling (yeah im calling)
Will you listen and respond to me when I reach out, metaphorically calling for help
But im giving up on love for the sake of my sanity
I'm sacrificing love for the sake of my mental well-being
And breaking hearts won't bring me the peace that I thought
Hurting others emotionally will not bring me the inner peace I expected
I wouldn't make it far (I wouldn't make it far)
I wouldn't succeed or progress in life
So maybe ill just move to Miami
Perhaps I'll relocate to Miami
And get stoned on top of my car
And indulge in marijuana while sitting on the roof of my car
Under freeways
Beneath the elevated roadways
And hang out inside of shady bars
And spend time in questionable or disreputable bars
I've been hearing that you've
I've heard rumors that you've
Been feeling not like yourself
Been feeling unhappy or unlike your usual self
Its not easy but babe I don't want nobody else
It's difficult, but I don't desire anyone else
So come on down to my place
So come visit me
And we can call it a draw
And we can consider it a truce or an equal outcome
Ill take care of your pain and you can
I'll help alleviate your emotional pain and you can
Lead me down the hall
Guide me towards a closer, more intimate connection
Im the door on the left
Metaphorically, I am the option to choose
Don't try and act like you're impressed
Don't pretend to be impressed or affected by me
Girl im far from the best
I am nowhere near being the best
In fact im just a fucking wreck
In fact, I am a complete mess
So let me know if you've got someone else
Inform me if you have another person
That you can call when you've got nothing left
Whom you can reach out to when you're desperate or out of options
We had it all but then again I guess
We had everything, but I suppose
Im better off just being by myself
I am better off being alone
