Coffee
Sophie Lindinger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every morning in this town
I had my coffee in the corner of this bed
and I know
from now on
you won‘t be there to hand it to me like you did

but that‘s still what I do
I sit in my spot
and imagine you‘d drink yours too

My morning still tastes like you
I hear the sound of the coffee maker
you always used
and I‘m sure
I always will
find my cup filled with you

We both know there will be men
and I know I will have coffee with them
and I‘m sure to a point
I can open up and make myself enjoy it

but the coffee I got from you
will never leave my spot
I still imagine you drink yours too

My morning still tastes like you
I hear the sound of the coffee maker
you always used
and I‘m sure
I always will
find my cup filled with you

My morning still tastes like you
I hear the sound of the coffee maker
you always used
and I‘m sure




I always will
find my cup filled with you

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, Sophie Lindinger reflects on a past relationship and the impact it has had on her daily routine. She starts by describing how every morning in their town, she used to have her coffee in the corner of their shared bed. However, she acknowledges that now that the relationship has ended, the other person won't be there to hand her the coffee anymore.


Despite this, she continues to follow the same routine, occupying her usual spot and imagining that her ex-lover would also be drinking their coffee in the same way. This signifies a lingering longing for their presence and the inability to fully let go of past routines and memories.


The next verse reveals that even though she knows there will be new people in her life, including potential romantic interests, she admits that these interactions may not hold the same emotional significance as the coffee she used to share with her ex-lover. She anticipates being able to open up and enjoy these new experiences to a certain extent but acknowledges that the coffee she shared with her ex will always have a special place in her heart.


The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the lingering impact of the past relationship on her morning routine. The act of making coffee stirs up nostalgia as she hears the sound of the coffee maker her ex used. This sound, and the memories associated with it, continue to influence her mornings. She admits that her cup will always be filled with the essence of her ex-lover, suggesting that their influence and presence still lingers in her life.


Overall, these lyrics depict a bittersweet reflection on the lingering memories and emotional attachments that can be associated with daily routines. Sophie Lindinger recognizes the absence of her ex-lover yet finds solace in the familiarity of her coffee routine, even though it reminds her of what she has lost. The song conveys the enduring impact of past relationships and the struggle to move on fully from their emotional imprint.
