Mess
Such Luck Lyrics

The first verse of "Mess" portrays the singer's insecurities and fears, which lead them to believe they may be clingy and annoying to the subject of the song. However, the singer's infatuation with this person is so strong that they are unable to stay away, and the singer feels lost without their presence. The lyrics use simile to compare the singer's state when the person is not around to being led astray, emphasizing the extreme effect the person has on the singer's life. The line "And in the absence of your presence I'm always left here to reflect on... me" adds depth to the lyrics, showing the singer's vulnerability and introspection.

The chorus of the song highlights the contrast between the singer's perception of themselves and their perception of the person they are singing to. The singer recognizes that they are not easy to understand and may be seen as a mess, both metaphorically and literally ("Have you ever seen your room? / It's such a mess"). However, when addressing the person, the singer sees them as beautiful, and pushes for the relationship to move faster, despite not believing in "happy ever after."

The bridge shows the intensity of the singer's feelings towards the person, as their laughter leaves the singer speechless. The singer also acknowledges their belief in pain, which may seem like a contrast to their hope for happiness earlier in the song. Ultimately, however, the singer's feelings for this person overpower any pain or doubts, and "everything just f\*\*\*ing stops." The song ends with the singer's hope that their feelings will bring the person happiness and that they will never be alone.
