Loop
Sophia Kennedy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause their mothers are insane
Our fathers are insane
'Cause their fathers are insane
Everything falls from the top
First it bends and then it drops
It's always someone else's fault
All the people in art business
Trying making money with their visions
Wearing their white sneakers
All the people in art business
It's hard for me to talk to you
But I need someone I can talk to
I keep falling from the top
(I bend and I drop)
What should I say?
(Shame, shame)
Harshness confused with strength
Kindness mixed with guilt
All of these are traps
We set up for themselves
I feel sick today
Who are you gonna call?
Tomorrow I'll feel great
And then it hits again
Hits again, hits again, hits again
Hits again, again, again
Hits again, hits again, hits again
Hits again, again, again
The lyrics of Sophia Kennedy's song Loop are a commentary on the cycle of intergenerational trauma that is passed down from one generation to the next. The opening lines, "Our mothers are insane / 'Cause their mothers are insane / Our fathers are insane / 'Cause their fathers are insane," hint at this theme. The repetition of the phrase "hits again" throughout the song emphasizes the cyclical nature of the trauma.
The second verse of the song seems to be commenting on the art world and the way that people in the industry often prioritize making money over creating meaningful art. The line "All the people in art business / Trying making money with their visions / Wearing their white sneakers" suggests a certain conformity and lack of originality in the industry.
The chorus of the song is a lament about the difficulty of finding someone to talk to when you're struggling, and the sense of shame that can come with admitting that you need help. The lines "It's hard for me to talk to you / But I need someone I can talk to / I keep falling from the top / (I bend and I drop) / What should I say? / (Shame, shame)" capture this feeling of isolation and uncertainty.
Overall, the lyrics of Loop are a powerful commentary on the cycle of trauma and the challenges of finding connection and support in a world that often prioritizes individual success over collective well-being.
