Meaning of "Gravity" by Susanne Sundfør

The lyrics of "Gravity" capture the pain of unrequited love and the struggle to move on from someone who appears empty and insincere. The singer describes the person's character as superficial and masks their true feelings with insincere sincerity. The repeated plea to gravity to make the singer heavy symbolizes a desire to stop feeling the emotional weight of the unfulfilled connection. The longing for the person to look the singer's way and the hopelessness of the situation are encapsulated in the refrain "So I won't sing any more, Don't let me sing any more." Despite recognizing the falsehood in the person's facade, the singer still finds themselves unable to detach, expressing their feelings through music as a form of release and catharsis. The song highlights the complexity of emotions in unreciprocated love and the struggle to let go of someone who may never truly see or understand the depth of the singer's feelings.
