Lyrics Dissection: Scared To Be Lonely by Martin Garrix and Dua Lipa

J.M.J.



It was great at the very start
Hands on each other
Couldn't stand to be far apart
Closer the better

This is the infatuation stage. Every relationship is exciting at the beginning. You want to be around each other all the time.

Now we're picking fights
And slamming doors
Magnifying all our flaws
And I wonder why
Wonder what for
Why we keep coming back for more

Every healthy relationship has fights and disagreements. It matters how you solve them. Slamming doors isn't a great way to do that. But I will say, that a relationship will show all your flaws more than anything else will! This girl is questioning whether the relationship is worth it since they fight. 

Is it just our bodies?
Are we both losing our minds?
Is the only reason you're holding me tonight
'Cause we're scared to be lonely?
Do we need somebody
Just to feel like we're alright?
Is the only reason you're holding me tonight
'Cause we're scared to be lonely?

This is the ultimate question of any relationship. Are you just with me because you don't want to be by yourself? That's a terrible reason to be with someone. People do it all the time.

Too much time, losing track of us
Where was the real?
Undefined, spiraling out of touch
Forgot how it feels

She forgets how it felt at the beginning of the relationship. It's easy to do that with the passing of time. You just don't want to lose sight of why you're together.

Lyrics repeat.

Even when we know it's wrong
Been somebody better for us all along
Tell me, how can we keep holding on?
Holding on tonight
'Cause we're scared to be lonely
Even when we know it's wrong
Been somebody better for us all along
Tell me, how can we keep holding on?
Holding on tonight
'Cause we're scared to be lonely

If you know you're with the wrong person, break up with them already! It's hard but it's worse to stay with him or her! Trust me on this! There is no good reason on this earth to be with someone that you know God doesn't want you with. 

Repetition, etc.

What My 30th Year of Life Has Been Like

  I'm turning 31 tomorrow. What has my 30th year of life been like? I'll tell you. I spent months in bed. I had pushed myself so hard for so long that this was all I could do. I received many treatments from multiple mental health professionals that were ineffective and damaging. Friends reached out to me and helped out during my darkest times. I advocated for myself and obtained an ADHD diagnosis. After receiving proper treatment for my ADHD, my depression, which I have recurrently experienced severely since at least the age of 12, went away. I met a group of women who also care deeply about social justice issues. I had a sleep study done, and while I was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea that existed only while sleeping on my back, I was given no other reason why I wasn't sleeping well. I went to an ENT specialist and he found that I had a very severely deviated septum and enlarged turbinates. With surgery, this was corrected and I can now breathe through my nose.  While re

I Got a Hair Trim

Yesterday, I got my hair trimmed. I hadn't done that since last December. My bangs were getting pretty long, and I got them cut to be blunt. My hair is pretty long (almost below my chest) and I just got it trimmed. I did the slightly choppy effect for some edge. I've never been wild about my hair. The most daring I've gotten is to dye my hair dark red, still a natural hue, but some people who knew me well could tell I'd dyed it. Still, though my hair's back to its natural color these days, it fluctuates from light to dark in the summer and winter months and people who haven't seen me in awhile think I've dyed it darker. Below is a picture that is kind of what I'm talking about, but it's from December of last year.
