SOBBRS opens the song with the line “I’ve learned to dance alone,” immediately getting vulnerable and talking about how he learned to rely on himself and not show his true emotions or problems to other people. This is a common phenomenon, where people hide their struggles because of the belief that struggles make us weak, when in reality there is nothing more meaningful than sharing your hardships with others and leaning on loved ones in times of need. That sort of raw honesty can be scary, though, and SOBBRS captures that distress perfectly with the line “I fear that one day I’ll wake up to find out that you think I’m no good and that you’re gone.”
Though vulnerability often brings two people closer, there is always a worry that showing the deepest parts of ourselves to others will end up driving them away. SOBBRS expressing all of these conflicting feelings through impactful lyrics, and the experimental and riveting production makes the story all the more meaningful.
