Sick Of Losing Soulmates
dodie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What a strange being you are, God knows where I would be
If you hadn't found me, sitting all alone in the dark
A dumb screenshot of youth
Watch how a cold broken teen
Will desperately lean on a superglued human of proof

What the hell would I be, without you (what the hell would I be)
Brave face talk so lightly, hide the truth (hide the truth)

'Cause I'm sick of losing soulmates, so where do we begin
I can finally see, you're as fucked up as me
So how do we win?
Yeah, I'm sick of losing soulmates, won't be alone again
I can finally see, you're as fucked up as me
So how do we win?

We will grow old as friends,
I've promised that before so what's one more
In our grey-haired circle, waiting for the end?
Time and hearts will wear us thin
So which path will you take, 'cause we both know a break
Does exactly what it says on the tin

What the hell would I be, without you
Brave face talk so lightly, hide the truth

'Cause I'm sick of losing soulmates, so where do we begin
I can finally see, you're as fucked up as me
So how do we win?
Yeah, I'm sick of losing soulmates, won't be alone again
I can finally see, you're as fucked up as me
So how do we win?

I won't take no for an answer (I won't take no for an answer)
I won't take no for an answer (I won't take no for an answer)
I won't take no (I won't take no), no
I won't take no (I won't take no)

'Cause I'm sick of losing soulmates, so where do we begin
I can finally see, you're as fucked up as me
So how do we win?
Yeah, I'm sick of losing soulmates, won't be alone again




I can finally see, you're as fucked up as me
So how do we win?

The final lines, “I won't take no for an answer,” further emphasize the singer's determination to hold on to this connection, even in the face of adversity.


Overall, “Sick Of Losing Soulmates” is a poignant depiction of the human desire for genuine connection and the pain of losing those connections. It explores the complexities of relationships and the struggle to find a soulmate, while also acknowledging the impermanence of life.


Line by Line Meaning

What a strange being you are, God knows where I would be If you hadn't found me, sitting all alone in the dark
You are a unique person and I don't know what my life would be like without you. When you found me in the dark, it was a turning point in my life.


A dumb screenshot of youth Watch how a cold broken teen Will desperately lean on a superglued human of proof
When we were young and foolish, I relied on you to hold me together. I was lost and broken, but you were my stability.


What the hell would I be, without you (what the hell would I be) Brave face talk so lightly, hide the truth (hide the truth)
I cannot imagine my life without you. I try to put on a brave face and act like everything's okay, but in reality, I am hiding my true feelings.


'Cause I'm sick of losing soulmates, so where do we begin I can finally see, you're as fucked up as me So how do we win? Yeah, I'm sick of losing soulmates, won't be alone again I can finally see, you're as fucked up as me So how do we win?
I am tired of losing people close to me, so where do we start to fix our relationship? I realize now that you are just as flawed as I am, so how can we turn things around? I don't want to lose you and feel alone anymore.


We will grow old as friends, I've promised that before so what's one more In our grey-haired circle, waiting for the end? Time and hearts will wear us thin So which path will you take, 'cause we both know a break Does exactly what it says on the tin
We have promised to be friends until the end, and we will continue to add more people to our inner circle as we age. Time and life experiences will take a toll on us, so which direction will you choose to go? We both know that a breakup would cause us more harm than good.


I won't take no for an answer (I won't take no for an answer) I won't take no for an answer (I won't take no for an answer) I won't take no (I won't take no), no I won't take no (I won't take no)
I won't accept a rejection or a 'no' from you. I want to fix our relationship and I won't give up easily.

Well … clears throat …
She is my gf now
I asked her out two days after I made this comment because my best friend convinced me that I have nothing to lose (which was a lie but I am so glad she did that)

We went on multiple dates and now we are a couple

She is so sweet and the kind of girl you can go on big adventures with

I really think we are both in love and this is the healthiest, best relationship I have ever been in

This song inspired a villanelle poem, I thought I would share it
Strangers.


I am sick of meeting strangers,
hoping once again
for love to begin.


They catch my eye,
and steal my breath.
I am sick-- of meeting strangers.



For it feels only when friendships are willing to die,
and meet an untimely death
is when our love begins.



So I'd rather have a friend
to love until our eventual end, because
I am sick of meeting strangers.



Who try to butt in,
who lie, saying it is time
for love to begin.



So when I turn my eye,
or stifle my laugh, turning it into a sigh,
it is only because- I am sick of meeting strangers,
waiting for love to never begin.



@thedarkm8tters256

Sick of losing soulmates
From a young age I've run and people have left
I've gotten bored in the longevity of love
Ppl have been tired of my existence


Reality begins at the edge of tears that never reach the ground
Substance relies in the fulfilment of the one that doesn't exist
Death lies in the bed you struggle to sleep in
Love runs towards you as you sink into the grassy sand beneath your soul

Sitting all alone in the dark

Upon a superglued human of proof

Brave face, talk so lightly, hide the truth (Hide the truth)

Dear L,




I've only known you since august, but everything feels easier with you. I don't even know if I have a crush on you, but you make me feel better about everything. I come to you when I feel like going back into old habits, and you tell me the right things. You know how to handle all my crazy shit, something M never gave much of an effort at. you've helped me come out to so many people in my life, and you've stood by me while I've questioned my sexuality again and again. you've told me that everything's gonna be alright. you told me that you'd always be there for me no matter what. You're beautiful in such a subtle way, with your huge smile and soft brown eyes. you stand up for what you believe in, something you've inspired me to do more often. You care so much about people, and sometimes I think you forget to take care of yourself first. I wish i could just run up to you and tell you that you're enough, and that you always have been and will be. I love how we made up inside jokes about running away to Canada together, getting married and adopting kids. Living in a cottage playing Girls Like Girls and i met sarah in the bathroom every night, and watching the sunrise in the morning. I know it's just a joke we have, but I sometimes wish it was real, and I think sometimes you do too. We're young though, and I know that time and hearts will wear us thin, so I can't hope for that much. In a few months you're going to a new school, in a new country. You'll probably meet a new girl, and give her a nickname just like you gave me, you'll tell her about how you want to escape reality and hide with her forever. You'll defend her and call her beautiful, not me. Like I said, i'm not even sure I have a crush on you, so why did it hurt so much when you told me you were leaving? I guess we really will grow old as friends, so know that I'm here for you, no matter what you need, i'll be here. and although picturing our futures being separate hurts, its probably what life has in store for us. if there's ever a chance you'd wanna be with me, and i know that sounded weird, but i'll say yes.


update: yeah im pretty sure i like L.
update again: ha we're dating



@bjorn4215

Hey, you are doing so well.
I'm so proud of you.
Please don't let others get in the way of your health, dreams and ideals. It's hard, but in the end it will be worth it.
You may feel alone, but this will pass. It will. I promise. Life takes your fears and gives them to you. Though it might be scary, it's ok. These fears help us grow, learn, observe, understand and empathize. Without battling them life would be dull, bland and misunderstood.
There's so many wonders in life, I hope you find them. You don't have much time, so take it. Your fears won't keep you safe. They only build walls, and hinder positive growth.
If you are trying to grow and be a better person, I believe in you. Another person believes in you, that person, the other person, the person you talked to for a second. They are proud and you are capable of so much positive growth, so much love, kindness and empathy. Your feelings are valid. They are so valid.
I hope you find a safe space.
If you'd like, vent here. I'll check every so often and I know, I know, there will be others to help when things get tough. You are not alone.
I cherish your existence, I see your progress and I'm so proud of you.



@SageOrion-pw4nb

My dearest, sweetest, fiercest Kimiko.

Not a day goes by where I cant help but miss your infectous laughter. Your smile that lit up a room. And the warmth in your eyes that could not compare.

To all those who experience the heart wrenching joy of love...
Enjoy it. Enjoy every little moment and treasure it forever.
Live it as if it were your last.

Also. Know that you ARE loved and treasured by someone. That others WILL miss you if you were gone.
That their lives will be ruined if you decide to leave.
