It Won't Always Be Like This

"It Won't Always Be Like This" is the title track to Inhaler’s debut album. The song is about unrequited love and the feeling of being stuck in a situation where one person feels strongly for the other, but the feelings are not reciprocated. The lyrics suggest that the narrator is aware that the person they are chasing does not feel the same way and that, despite this knowledge, they cannot shake their feelings. The line, "Girl, you know this ain't love, I'm just a bad old beggar with nothing to do," implies that the narrator is aware that their behavior is not desirable and that they are clinging onto the other person out of desperation rather than genuine love. The subsequent lines, "You say that you're not around, and you don't wanna be found, well, I wanna be the best at what I do," suggests that the narrator is trying to convince the other person to notice them, but their efforts are in vain. The chorus, "It won't always be like this, honey, I'll be dead when I'm dead," represents a sense of hopelessness and resignation, as the narrator realizes that the situation is unlikely to change. The repeated line, "You're in my head," emphasizes the notion that the other person is constantly on their mind and that they cannot get them out of their thoughts. In summary, "It Won't Always Be Like This" is a melancholic song about the pain of unrequited love and the frustration of being unable to change the situation. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and hopelessness, with the narrator feeling trapped in their unrequited love. Read more on Last.fm.
