So Sweet
The T-Birds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But now you're just killing me
I'm rolling up your
Windblown street
Trying to breathe
You'll be the death of me
That's not just hyperbole
But I'm seeing past
To who I should be
Do do do do do do do do
You'll never leave me completely
Na na na, na na na
But you won't come back
To defeat me
Na na na, na na na
I know I said we'd be
Together forever
Na na na, na na na
But you are on your own
I'm sure you'll find someone
To keep you in the lungs
You know when I hit rock bottom
I'm still looking up at you
So smoke 'em all
While you got 'em
'Til the air is full of blue
The lyrics to The T-Birds' song "So Sweet" depict a change in a person's perception of someone they used to find sweet and endearing. The opening lines express a sense of disappointment as the person realizes that the sweetness they once found in the other individual has faded. The phrase "but now you're just killing me" suggests that their actions or behavior have become hurtful or detrimental to the singer.
As the song progresses, the lyrics evoke a feeling of longing and frustration. The line "I'm rolling up your windblown street, trying to breathe" could symbolize a desperate attempt to revisit and reconnect with the good times they once shared. However, the phrase "you'll be the death of me" suggests that this pursuit is causing harm or distress to the singer, emphasizing the negative impact the other person is having on their life.
Despite acknowledging the damaging effects of this relationship, the lyrics indicate that the singer still holds onto hope. They declare that they are "seeing past and over you, to who I should be," implying that they are starting to recognize their own worth and potential beyond this toxic connection. This part of the song suggests a desire to move on and find their true self outside of the confines of this unhealthy relationship.
The chorus alludes to the lingering presence of the person who has caused them pain. The phrase "You'll never leave me completely" implies that their impact will always be felt to some degree. However, the lyrics also convey a sense of empowerment as the singer asserts that the other person "won't come back to defeat" them. It seems they are determined to break free from the emotional hold this person had on them.
The concluding lines of the song suggest a mix of resignation, acceptance, and a desire for the other person to find happiness elsewhere. The mention of being "on your own" implies a acknowledgment of the individual's independence, despite the pain they have caused. The line "I'm sure you'll find someone to keep you in the lungs" may suggest the hope that the other person will find someone else who will satisfy their desires or needs, releasing the singer from the suffocating grip of the past.

When Vee was first “shown” I was like “you know what? The evil doppelgänger is cliché and overused” so I thought it was a clone made by Eda so that Camila wouldn’t freak out about Luz being missing.

It's logic. At first we didn't knew anything about her,she was just a dark figure pretending to be luz. Then we discover that she is just a víctim
