Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Starry Cat's "Thanks" express the feelings of insecurity and attachment in a romantic relationship. The singer confesses that they feel scared and incomplete when their partner is absent, and although they recognize that this may not be healthy, they still want to be with them constantly. The lines "but I wanna see you every night" suggest a dependence on the other person that borders on obsession or addiction.


The second stanza continues this theme, revealing that the singer feels "dumb" and "down" without their partner. The question "what's love anyway" implies confusion or uncertainty about the nature of their feelings, as if they are struggling to reconcile their intense emotions with the practical realities of everyday life.
