Equally Lost
Tove Lo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waiting for somebody carefree
Hey, wanna get high with me? Uh
I see you looking at me, so I turn my charm on
Hoping you think I look awesome
Wanna feel your hands on me, yeah
Gotta play it off my way, ooh
Gotta play it off 'cause I want you
Wanna run away, run away for the night, night, night
E-Equally lost
We got drunken hearts and we're dancing more than enough
E (e) equally lost (la-la-la, la-la-la)
But we own the night and the hearts are wild in love (in love)
'Cause I be so down, down, yeah
When my heart goes down, down, yeah
'Cause I be so down, down, yeah
When my heart goes down, down, yeah
Come on down with me with that rum one
I got you with the drinks and the bun dance
I ain't tryna get to know-know-know your loved ones
'Cause I'm a whole other bitch when I'm fucked up
Ayy, and tell me what ya want, what ya into
Ayy, and I can tell you all what ya been through
Ayy, and mi no wanna sob, nah, I tend to
Ayy, just wanna get lost in your rental
E (ooh), equally lost (yeah, yeah)
We got drunken hearts and we're dancing more than enough
E (E) equally lost (yeah, la-la-la, la-la-la)
But we own the night and the hearts are wild in love (in love)
'Cause I be so down, down, yeah
When my heart goes down, down, yeah
'Cause I be so down, down, yeah
When my heart goes down, down, yeah
Oh yeah
Ayy, okay
Ayy, okay
Ayy, okay
Ayy, okay
In "Equally Lost," Tove Lo and Doja Cat describe the fleeting, carefree nature of a wild night out with a lover that they don't necessarily want to get to know on a deeper level. The song begins with Tove Lo saying she appears lonely and seeks a partner to get high with, and she is interested in whoever is looking at her. She wants to feel the person's hands on her but understands that she has to play it cool, even if she really wants them. The chorus talks about their shared feeling of being lost but owning the night with their drunken hearts, dancing, and wild love.
The two artists' verses delve deeper into their desire for adventure without any strings attached. They talk about how they want to drink, dance, and forget their problems with someone who wants the same. Neither is interested in the other's personal life – they just want to get lost in each other. They also touch on themes of self-destruction, with lines like "when my heart goes down, down" indicating that they know the night might not end well, but they're going to enjoy themselves while they can.
