Sunglasses
TWIN XL Lyrics

Is anybody out there?
Asking if anyone else feels the same loneliness and isolation that the singer is experiencing.

Or am I the only one?
Expressing doubt and uncertainty about whether the singer is truly alone in their feelings.

A city full of vampires
Metaphorically describing the people around the singer as vampiric, draining their energy and life force.

We used to have so much fun
Reflecting on happier times in the past when the singer felt more connected to others.

Breaking into backyards
Remembering the thrill of youthful rebellion and mischief-making.

Funny how all their faces glow
Observing the eerie, almost supernatural effect of surveillance cameras on people's faces at night.

But I counted every head and I wanna go home
Feeling overwhelmed and exhausted by the sense of isolation and disconnection in the city, longing for a sense of belonging and familiarity.

Hold tight my broken parts
Acknowledging the singer's emotional fragility and vulnerability.

Build my kingdom in the dark
Finding solace in the anonymity and privacy of the night, where they can be themselves without fear of judgment or rejection.

I wear my sunglasses
Using sunglasses as a metaphor for emotional armor, a shield that protects the singer's true feelings and intentions from the world.

So nobody can see me
Wanting to avoid vulnerability and emotional exposure, fearing rejection and ridicule from others.

I take no chances
Preferring to remain aloof and detached from most people, distrusting their motives and intentions.

I know my eyes are bleeding, but I
Admitting that the singer's emotional pain is still very real and present, despite attempts to conceal it.

I must protect my soul
Believing that it is more important to safeguard one's emotional well-being than to take risks and make connections with others.

My sunglasses, yeah
Repeating the chorus and emphasizing the importance of emotional self-preservation.

I been running so long
Feeling exhausted and drained from a constant sense of emotional vigilance and self-protection.

Maybe I should catch my breath
Realizing that the singer needs to slow down and take care of themselves, rather than continuing to run away from their problems.

Terrified of new friends
Expressing deep-seated distrust and fear of getting close to new people.

They love you then they leave you dead
Believing that other people will inevitably hurt and betray the singer, leading to emotional death and devastation.

I could use a lifeline
Recognizing that the singer is in emotional distress and needs help or support from others.

But I don't wanna burden anyone
Feeling that the singer's emotional pain is too personal and intense to share with others, fearing rejection or judgment.

And the world gets scary when you got no one
Describing the feeling of helplessness and vulnerability that comes from having no emotional support or connection to others.
