Troye Sivan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of a simple human emotion
Weighs me down
More than the tank ever did
The pain
It's determined and demanding
To ache, but I'm okay...
And I don't want to let this go
I don't want to lose control
I just want to see the stars with you
And I don't say goodbye
Someone tell me why
I just want to see the stars with you
You lost, a part of your existence
In the war, against yourself
Oh, the lights,
They light up in lights of sadness
Telling you, it's time to go
And I don't want to let this go
I don't want to lose control
I just want to see the stars with you
And I don't say goodbye
Someone tell me why
I just want to see the stars with you
Don't give it up just yet stay
For one more minute, don't give it up just yet
Stay... grand ( 3x )
And I don't want to let this go
I don't want to lose control
I just want to see the stars with you
And I don't say goodbye
Someone tell me why
I just want to see the stars with you
With you
In this song, Troye Sivan seems to be grappling with intense emotions that are weighing heavily on him. He compares this weight to that of a tank, suggesting that the emotional burden is even greater than a physical one. He acknowledges the pain that he's feeling but insists that he's okay despite it. He holds onto the desire to see the stars with someone, even as he struggles to maintain control and avoid losing that connection.
The lyrics mention losing a part of one's existence in a war against themselves, which is a powerful metaphor for the inner turmoil that people often face. The lights of sadness that Troye describes suggest that he's feeling overwhelmed by his emotions, which are urging him to let go and move on. However, Troye resists this urge and insists that he doesn't want to say goodbye, he wants to hold onto this connection and see the stars with someone.
