Little Things

The lyrics portray a relationship and state of mind that feel chaotic, exhausting, and hard to escape. The speaker swings between closeness and hostility, admitting to lies, denial, and repeated harm. The repeated claim that “little things” cause damage suggests that small irritations or problems build up until they dominate the speaker’s thoughts.

Several images make the mood feel unstable. “Spinning around two howling moons” suggests confusion or being caught in a strange, unsettling cycle, rather than describing a clear, literal event. “The cupboard is empty” introduces plain, practical deprivation, while “summer is winter” makes the world feel emotionally reversed or bleak. The phrase “going up when coming down” captures contradictory movement: a rush or high that is already turning into a fall.

The lyrics are deliberately jagged, and some lines are difficult to connect into one clear story. The speaker may be criticizing a destructive relationship, their own compulsive behavior, or both; “addicted to love” beside “addicted to bullshit” points toward attraction to patterns they know are harmful. “Here come the new things” might suggest change arriving, but it does not clearly promise improvement. The overall effect is less a tidy confession than an expression of restless frustration.
