The meaning of the lyrics of the song "[Reboot]" by the artist "Waterparks"

Contents

Waterparks' "Reboot" delves into a painful breakup, with the lyrical protagonist grappling with the shift in his emotions. He confesses that he no longer desires to salvage the relationship, despite previously clinging to his partner's voice. Feeling depleted and disillusioned, he likens his heart to bait. The recurring line "I didn't promise you a dream boy" emphasizes his refusal to conform to expectations or bear the weight of unfulfilled desires.

Boxing metaphors ("Your gloves are laced… I'm out the ring") illustrate the protagonist's feeling of defeat and exhaustion. He yearns for intimacy ("The only ring I want is on your finger") but encounters rejection ("you're flipping me off"). Despite the pain, he attempts to salvage a friendship ("You're my friend… let's tell secrets"), acknowledging its potential toxicity.

Interspersed throughout the lyrics are references to other Waterparks songs, creating a sense of continuity and character development. "Reboot" is a song about embracing pain, releasing expectations, and navigating the path to healing after heartbreak.

I used to want to save you

Now I don't

I used to need your voice

And now I need to sleep alone

You were supposed to be the first sigh

Worth all of the long nights

Turning on your high beams

Dying in your mood light

I think I talk too much

I try to walk it off

But now you got your gloves

And now you boxed me out

I'm out the ring

But the only ring I want

Is the ring around your finger

But your middle one's up

I've had enough

I try to brush it off

'Cause you're my confidante

So let's talk

Share secrets

I've got some dirty laundry

Can you keep it?

I never promised you your dream boy

I'm better as your chew toy

Love, love, love

The heart I gave, it was a decoy

I'm just here to destroy

Love, love, love

I never promised you your dream boy

I'm better as your chew toy

Love, love, love

The heart I gave, it was a decoy

I'm just here to destroy

Love, love, love

(I never promised you your dream boy)

You're not worth my color

You're not worth another

Headache, you're dead weight

You're gonna be just like your mother

I tried to make life a movie

Yeah, here, I got you a preview

I had 101 wishes

And lost them all on you

I think I talk too much

I try to walk it off

But now you got your gloves

And now you boxed me out

I'm out the ring

But the only ring I want

Is the ring around your finger

But your middle one's up

I've had enough

I try to brush it off

'Cause you're my confidante

So let's talk

Share secrets

I've got some dirty laundry

Can you keep it?

I never promised you your dream boy

I'm better as your chew toy

Love, love, love

The heart I gave, it was a decoy

I'm just here to destroy

Love, love, love

I never promised you your dream boy

I'm better as your chew toy

Love, love, love

The heart I gave, it was a decoy

I'm just here to destroy

Love, love, love

I never promised you your dream boy

I'm better as your chew toy

The heart I gave, it was a decoy

I'm just here to destroy

I think I talk too much

I try to walk it off

But now you got your gloves

And now you boxed me out

I'm out the ring

But the only ring I want

Is the ring around your finger

But your middle one's up

I've had enough

I try to brush it off

'Cause you're my confidante

So let's talk

Share secrets

I've got some dirty laundry

Can you keep it?

I never promised you your dream boy

I'm better as your chew toy

Love, love, love

The heart I gave, it was a decoy

I'm just here to destroy

Love, love, love

I never promised you your dream boy

I'm better as your chew toy

Love, love, love

The heart I gave, it was a decoy

I'm just here to destroy

Love, love, love

I never promised you your dream boy, dream, dream boy

Dream boy, dream boy, dream boy, dream boy, dream boy

Dream boy, dream
