Lyrics: Augusta
Feel like maybe I might go to Boston Cut my hair in the way that I've wanted Change my number and bury my wallet California makes me exhausted I'm lost I'm lost I'm lost I'm lost Heard a poem about mid October How the leaves in the fall feel like closure About a girl that the guy wasn't over Think that I might relate when I'm older I'm lost I'm lost I'm lost I'm lost Tough I don't know a lot that could hurt me Learned the hard way to forget my body Till you're walking around like a zombie Still don't know how to talk through that story I'm lost I'm lost I'm lost I'm lost
Exploring the Theme of “Augusta”
Searching for Change and Identity
“Augusta” captures the feeling of wanting to escape and reinvent oneself. The opening lines reveal a deep sense of restlessness, as the narrator contemplates moving to Boston, changing their appearance, and leaving behind their past. California, once a place of promise, now brings exhaustion—highlighting a desire for new beginnings.
Reflection and Emotional Closure
The song uses autumn imagery to symbolize closure and change. The reference to a poem about October and falling leaves suggests the end of a chapter or a relationship. The narrator relates to the idea of not being over someone, hinting at unresolved emotions that may become clearer with time.
Struggles with Vulnerability
The lyrics delve into the difficulty of processing pain and trauma. Learning “the hard way to forget my body” and feeling like a “zombie” speak to emotional numbness. The repeated refrain, “I’m lost,” echoes throughout, emphasizing the ongoing search for direction and healing.
