Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Her face lights up as she's humming along
To my own song on the radio
It's cute as hell 'cause she didn't know
I didn't say 'cause she didn't ask
She's my future, forgive my past
So used to being cynical
She's something like a miracle
It's only a feeling until you make it more than that
It's the summer of the buzz cut
But you like my long hair
Red flags turn to pixie dust
It don't matter 'cause I don't care
'Cause I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling for you
And I think that you're falling, you're falling for me too
In the summer of the buzz cut
In the summer of the buzz cut
Buzz cut
It's the summer of the buzz cut
Buzz
Same white car with the speakers loud
Singing along with the windows down
She lights herself a cigarette
One day I'll tell her, but she don't know yet
If the secret's out maybe things will change
Haven't told her my last name
Me and her, no internet
I still haven't kissed her yet
It's only a feeling until you make it more than that
It's the summer of the buzz cut
But you like my long hair
Red flags turn to pixie dust
It don't matter 'cause I don't care
'Cause I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling for you
And I think that you're falling, you're falling for me too
In the summer of the buzz cut
In the summer of the buzz cut
Buzz cut
It's the summer of the buzz cut
Buzz
Sometimes you don't know what you got
Sometimes you don't believe it
Sometimes you don't know what you got
Until you see her leaving
It's the summer of the buzz cut
But you like my long hair
Red flags turn to pixie dust
It don't matter 'cause I don't care
'Cause I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling for you
And I think that you're falling, you're falling for me too
In the summer of the buzz cut
In the summer of the buzz cut
Buzz cut
It's the summer of the buzz cut
Buzz
In the summer of the buzz cut
(Sometimes you don't know what you got)
Buzz cut (sometimes you don't believe it)
It's the summer of the buzz cut
(Sometimes you don't know what you got)
Buzz (until you see her leaving)
The song "Buzz Cut" by lovelytheband depicts a young romance that is devoid of the societal norms surrounding it. The singer paints a picture of himself and his girlfriend driving in an off-white Benz on the 101 highway while his song cuts on the radio. His girlfriend hums along innocently, but she does not know that the song is the singer’s own. He seems to be infatuated with her and does not want to ruin the moment by telling her. Moreover, he says, "She’s my future, forgive my past," which could hint that he has a complicated past that he does not want to alter what he currently has with her.
As the song progresses, the singer remains tight-lipped about various things concerning himself, such as his last name. He enjoys the secrecy that comes with their relationship and their time together. Towards the end of the song, he highlights the fact that relationships are unpredictable, and it is crucial to value what one has before it's gone. The song is relatively upbeat and has a catchy melody, which makes it enjoyable to listen to.

Their broken like me song kinda ruins them in my opinion. It's not their best but the radio plays it like it's the only song they have. I got tired of hearing it 10 times a day and didn't bother looking for more of their songs. This song is amazing though, so good
