Altar
Sweater Beats Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinking I'd meet somebody
With brown eyes, that's real smart
'Bout 5 foot 3 tall
Wait, that's you
Wait, that's you
See, I always do this
Compare them to your lips
But no one's no good without you
Without you
I built you an altar, didn't I?
In the corner, of my mind
'Cause now I know, I know
What feels like you
Thinking about you
Every night
Built you an altar, didn't I?
'Cause now I know, I know
What feels like you
I built you an altar
I built you an altar
I still know your number
Like it's burned on my fingers
'Bout 2, 3 in the morning
I'm drinking and thinking 'bout you
Thinking 'bout you (thinking 'bout you)
And I should be happy
But nothings feels magic
And this sounds dramatic
But nothing cuts deeper than you, you
I built you an altar, didn't I?
In the corner, of my mind
'Cause now I know, I know
What feels like you
Thinking about you
Every night
Built you an altar, didn't I?
'Cause now I know, I know
What feels like you
I built you an altar
I built you an altar
Tell me you'll stay
Tell me everyday
Broken my heart
Now I'm not the same
Now I'm not the same
I built you an ah
An altar
An altar
I built you an altar
The song "Altar" by Sweater Beats featuring R.LUM.R is a melancholy track about a relationship that has ended, leaving the singer feeling lost and alone. The song is quite emotional and speaks to the pain of heartbreak, as well as the lengths that one goes to in order to hold on to that love. The opening lyrics reveal the singer's intention of coming to the party in search of someone to fill the void left by their lost love, but upon seeing someone who resembles their former partner, they are quickly reminded of what they have lost.
The singer then goes on to speak about all of the things that they would do to hold onto their partner, including building an altar in their mind, and constantly thinking about them, even when they are out drinking with friends. The addition of the haunting melody and the repetition of the "I built you an altar" line serve to emphasize the sense of desperation and loneliness that the singer is feeling. The song ends with a plea to the lost love to come back and stay with the singer, but it is left unclear if this plea is enough to change the reality of the situation.
Overall, "Altar" is a powerful and relatable song about heartbreak, moving on, and the power of the mind to hold on to memories of love that have ended.

I came to this party
I attended this party
Thinking I'd meet somebody
I expected to meet someone
With brown eyes, that's real smart
With intelligent brown eyes
Bout 5 foot 3 tall
Around 5 feet 3 inches tall
Wait, that's you
Oh, it's you
See, I always do this
I always make this mistake
Compare them to your lips
Compare others to your lips
I know that I shouldn't
I am aware that it's wrong
But no one's no good without you
Everyone is incomplete without you
Without you
In your absence
I built you an altar, didn't I?
I created a monument for you, didn't I?
In the corner, of my mind
In the recesses of my mind
'Cause now I know, I know
Because now I understand
What feels like you
What reminds me of you
Thinking about you
Reflecting on you
Every night
Each evening
I still know your number
I have memorized your phone number
Like it's burned on my fingers
As though it's seared into my fingers
Bout 2, 3 in the morning
Around 2 or 3 AM
I'm drinking and thinking 'bout you
I'm drinking and pondering about you
And I should be happy
I ought to be joyful
But nothings feels magic
But nothing feels special
And this sounds dramatic
This may sound melodramatic
But nothing cuts deeper than you, you
But nothing hurts me more than you
Tell me you'l stay
Promise me you will stay
Tell me every day
Tell me every day
Broken my heart
You have broken my heart
Now I'm not the same
I'm not as I once was
I built you an ah
I constructed an ah
An altar
A shrine
An altar
A shrine
I built you an altar
I created a shrine for you
