deadbeat valentine
nothingnowhere. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm too busy feeling sorry for myself
You say you only wanna be with me
But you'd be better off with almost anyone else
A cool breeze or a skyline
Just give me something to make me feel alive
And I don't want to let you down
But I got a history of ruining everything I'm left around
I know you know I'm lying when I say I'm fine
If you love me you should think twice
Cause no one wants a deadbeat valentine
Losing my mind
Wasting your time
Tell you that I'm gonna change
But I never fucking try
I've been feeling empty
Like the lining of my wallet
I'm constantly fearing the future
And I'm just being honest
God damn, show me the lay of the land
Put your faith in my hands
I promise I'll disappoint you
When you find out my head is a mess like my bed
I'm a lost cause
And I got flaws
And I swear to God that I care a lot
Or I used to, so I make due
With the hole in my soul
Pretend like I'm fine like you do
You can see the void in my eyes
I know you know I'm lying when I say I'm fine
If you love me you should think twice
Cause no one wants a deadbeat valentine
You can see the void in my eyes
I know you know I'm lying when I say I'm fine
If you love me you should think twice
Cause no one wants a deadbeat valentine

They hint at his fear of intimacy and his reluctance to let anyone get too close, as he believes he is not worthy of their love or affection.

Losing my mind
I'm going crazy
Wasting your time
I am not worth your time and energy
Tell you that I'm gonna change
I promise to make improvements
But I never fucking try
I always fall short and don't attempt to change
I've been feeling empty
I feel a sense of hollowness and purposelessness

And I'm just being honest
I am being truthful about how I feel and what I am going through
God damn, show me the lay of the land
I am begging for understanding and guidance
Put your faith in my hands
I am asking for trust and belief
I promise I'll disappoint you
I will inevitably fail and let you down
When you find out my head is a mess like my bed
When you discover that my mind and emotions are in disarray like my physical space
I'm a lost cause
I am a hopeless, irredeemable case
And I got flaws
I have many imperfections and shortcomings
And I swear to God that I care a lot
I do genuinely care despite my issues
Or I used to, so I make due
I may not care as much anymore, so I am making do with what I have left
With the hole in my soul
With the emptiness I feel inside me
Pretend like I'm fine like you do
I am putting on a façade like you are, pretending that everything is okay when it is not

This shit is revolutionary. In a couple years when we start seeing emotional trap artists everywhere, we need to let everyone know that this is where it started.
