Losing Grip
Stella Starlight Trio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are you aware of what you make me feel? baby
Right now I feel invisible to you, like I'm not real
Didn't you feel me lock my arms around you?
Why'd you turn away?
Here's what I have to say
I was left to cry there
Waiting outside there
Grinning with a lost stare
That's when I decided
Why should I care
'Cause you weren't there when I was scared
I was so alone
You, you need to listen
I'm starting to trip
I'm losing my grip and I'm in this thing alone
Am I just some chick you place beside you to take somebody's place?
When you turn around can you recognize my face?
You used to love me, you used to hug me
But that wasn't the case
Everything wasn't ok
I was left to cry there
Waiting outside there
Grinning with a lost stare
That's when I decided
Why should I care
'Cause you weren't there when I was scared
I was so alone
You, you need to listen
I'm starting to trip
I'm losing my grip and I'm in this thing alone
Crying out loud I'm crying out loud
Crying out loud I'm crying out loud
Open your eyes
Open up wide
Why should I care?
'Cause you weren't there
When I was scared
I was so alone
Why should I care?
'Cause you weren't there
When I was scared
I was so alone
Why should I care?
If you don't care then
I don't care
We're not going anywhere
Why should I care?
'Cause you weren't there
When I was scared
I was so alone
Why should I care?
If you don't care then




I don't care
We're not going anywhere

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Losing Grip" by Stella Starlight Trio depict a person who feels invisible and unvalued in a relationship. The singer is expressing their frustration and disappointment towards their partner who seems to have disregarded their emotions and presence. The first verse conveys the singer's efforts to connect with their partner by physically embracing them, but the partner turns away, leaving the singer feeling abandoned and uncared for.


The chorus reveals the singer's feelings of isolation and their realization that they are alone in this relationship. They question if they are merely a replacement for someone else, asking if their partner can even recognize their face anymore. In the second verse, the singer reflects on the past, reminiscing about when their partner used to love and hug them. However, they acknowledge that those positive moments were not the reality, and everything was not okay.


The bridge section emphasizes the desperate need for the partner to listen and understand the singer's feelings. They express that they are losing control and becoming overwhelmed by the situation, feeling like they are navigating it alone. The repetition of the lines "Crying out loud, I'm crying out loud" showcases the singer's emotional distress and their attempt to make their pain heard.


In the final part of the song, the singer confronts their partner, questioning why they should care if the partner doesn't. They affirm that if the partner is not there for them in their moments of fear and loneliness, then they don't need to care either. The closing lines suggest a realization that the relationship has reached a standstill and there is no progress or growth.


Overall, "Losing Grip" captures the frustration and disillusionment that can arise when one person feels unacknowledged and undervalued in a relationship. It portrays the struggle of wanting to hold on while realizing the futility of the situation.

My daughter heard this in a cafe and thought, “Wait, is that the Avril Lavigne song?!” She shared it with me promptly.
