Arriving in Los Angeles was a spirit quest that took Taylor from one coast to the other: It was in gritty Washington, D.C. that a young Taylor steeped like tea in the music of Fugazi and Bad Brains, Black Tambourine and Velocity Girl. Now, Taylor distills his adopted home’s sun-bleached optimism and its heartbreaking letdowns: “Lovers and Fake Friends” abandons its dreamy beginnings for a disenchanted, Dinosaur Jr.-esque riot of guitars. “I Want It All” may as well be the lament of every sorry West Coast dream-chaser.

inside an empty room
i follow
but i don't know where you are
where we are
and i'm slippin away
i don't know who you are
still spinning
on a dizzy memory
unwinding
on something that is lost
in me
and i'm slippin away
i don't know who you are
who you are
and i'm slippin away
i don't know who you are
and you're lost on your own
cause that's just who you are
who you are
The lyrics of Tennis System's song "Dizzy" convey a sense of disorientation and uncertainty in a relationship. The opening lines describe a feeling of wasted time in an empty room, with the singer following someone but not knowing their whereabouts or the nature of their connection. This sets the tone for the rest of the song.
The repetition of the phrase "and I'm slippin away, I don't know who you are" emphasizes the singer's gradual detachment and confusion. It suggests that the relationship they once had is slipping away, along with their understanding of the other person's identity. The line "still spinning on a dizzy memory, unwinding on something that is lost in me" further emphasizes this disorientation, as the memory they hold onto feels elusive and vague.
The final lines highlight the singer's realization that the other person is also lost and unable to find their way. It implies that they are both disconnected and struggling to fully comprehend and connect with each other. The repetition of the phrase "who you are" signifies the central theme of the song, as the singer grapples with the elusive nature of the other person and their own shifting sense of self.
Overall, "Dizzy" explores the confusion and uncertainty that can arise in relationships, where both parties may find themselves lost and disconnected.

time wasted
Moments of my life spent without purpose
inside an empty room
Confined within a space devoid of meaning or connection
i follow
I try to pursue or understand
but i don't know where you are
Yet I remain clueless about your whereabouts
where we are
And our current state or location is unknown
and i'm slippin away
I feel myself gradually losing grip
i don't know who you are
I'm uncertain about your true identity
still spinning
Continuously revolving or turning
on a dizzy memory
In a state of confusion or disorientation caused by a past recollection
unwinding
Letting go or unraveling
on something that is lost
Caught up in something that has been misplaced or forgotten
in me
Within my own being or thoughts
and you're lost on your own
And you are also adrift or uncertain by yourself
cause that's just who you are
Because it is your inherent nature or characteristic
who you are
Your true identity or essence

So dreamy, so bittersweet, so filled with longing... *sigh*; and the video is especially relevant during these days of (sadly) empty venues.
