may we all have space

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

may we all just have our space
maybe i'm the only one i like to
communicate with
and it's all in terms of taste
a loner as a friendly place
i could never clear my plate

what if i believed in trust
i forever feel flustered
i forgot not to lie
but i know that i'm well loved
i've forgotten why

may we all end up in space
undeserving of this friendly place
alone for good
if i could i'd be replaced
by something more bare-faced
and understood





i'll take u by surprise

Overall Meaning

In Gobbinjr's song "May We All Have Space," the singer expresses a desire for personal space and isolation. The opening lines, "may we all just have our space / maybe i'm the only one i like to / communicate with," suggest that the singer values their own company and prefers to be alone. The next line, "and it's all in terms of taste," clarifies that this is a matter of personal preference, and not necessarily indicative of any larger emotional or psychological issues.


The lyrics continue to explore the singer's feelings of isolation and ambivalence toward relationships. "A loner as a friendly place / i could never clear my plate" suggests that although the singer may find comfort in being alone, they still struggle with feelings of emptiness and unfulfillment. The line "what if i believed in trust / i forever feel flustered / i forgot not to lie" suggests that the singer has difficulty trusting others, and may have been hurt in the past. However, the final lines of the verse, "but i know that i'm well loved / i've forgotten why," suggest that even though the singer may struggle with relationships, they are aware that they are loved, even if they don't fully understand why.


As the song continues, the lyrics become increasingly bleak, with the chorus repeating "may we all end up in space / undeserving of this friendly place / alone for good / if i could i'd be replaced / by something more bare-faced / and understood." Here, the singer seems to be expressing a desire to escape from the world and find solace in isolation, even if it means giving up on relationships altogether.


Overall, "May We All Have Space" is a contemplative and nuanced exploration of the complexities of loneliness and the human need for both connection and personal space.
