Lyrics:

I don’t get the love I need anymore
I don’t get the love I need anymore
I’m feelin sick of independence

I don’t get the love I need anymore
I don't get the love I walked out the door
Ohhh won’t let you carry out my sentence

Well the writing was clear it appeared on the wall
We were broken and scared unprepared for the fall, it’s true
I couldn’t keep waiting on you

And I know that you hurt and I know that you tried
But I’ll go it alone if I can’t satisfy your view
Why live a life I wasn’t meant to

But they told me daaa-aaaa-aance
Keep playin the game
Press start continue loo-ook
within you, without you

begin to advaaaa-aaaa-aaance
as far as you can,
til you lose your winnings
find new beginnings
Na na na na na na

I don’t get the love I need anymore
I’m cast out to sea I can’t find the shore
Don’t really know what I was thinking

I don’t get the love I need anymore
I’m not even sure what I’m searching for
I he-ee-ear a melody and I start singing

I am lost in a dream I can’t open my eyes
Never told how to live after I say goodbye to you
They tell me find another darling

How can I find a love when I can’t find myself
Well they set me adrift made me think when I jumped I flew
But this just feels like I am falling

And they told me daaa-aaa-aaance
Follow the rules
The next objective
Feel defective, select

A brand new circumstaaa-aaaa-aaance
Make lovers of fools
Go through the motions
To feel connected
Without them you’re broken

*_"Love I Need" is not in the "zero_one" album because TLT wanted to make it a single since that's the whole point of the song._*

[KyleAllenMusic]

Games are such a huge part of this channel, I love this so much.

[darkerdoggo]

everyone: omg tlt is uploading so many songs he should take a break

tlt: n o

[Inkr]

You can tell he actually wants love at the start but something bad happens each time he looks for it. In the pokemon heartful thing at 1:58 he doesn't know how to act when he sees love anymore which leads to him knocking everyone else down (race part) until at the final one where at that point he doesn't want love and decides to destroy the heart leaving him empty.

[wishfuldentochoosensilver]

I feel like the song isn’t only about a break up. But a break up caused by fear. Skull guy wants love but doesn’t know how to accept it, not necessarily commitment issues, just anxiety over wrong choices. Like how in a Pokemon segment, ‘Talk’ was an option but after stressing over what to choose he ran away. Or in the dating sim when someone was interested in him all of his dialogue options were negative and he ended up running again.

Look at the bubble game at 2:44 he tried to play the game but when he made a wrong move and saw the bubbles getting closer he panics and ends up losing the game for himself.

It all may be more related to social anxieties and not being able to express yourself, and what you mean, the way you want to. And in turn not having good connections. Or “the love you need”

[grem]

moral of recent tlt songs: don’t have a skull face, it doesn’t end well

[JunHwaJun]

The low hp symbolism is crazy. How he reaches for the heart every level/game but he "can't get the love he needs anymore" and how he needs it now more than ever. Genius

[diobrando]

That Kitty helmet was a reference to Sunburn? I think so.
In 1:14
Now even the items are references.

[killertalent]

Can't wait to hear the song about the hunchback of Hyrule

[RebakaChan]

These original songs are bops but they are making need to ask you something.

You good? Like for real? These cover some dark topics.

Sending love ❤️

lyrics:
I don't get the love I need anymore
I don't get the love I need anymore
I'm feelin' sick of independence
I don't get the love I need anymore
I don't get the love, I walked out the door
Oh, won't let you carry out my sentence

Well the writing was clear, it appeared on the wall
We were broken and scared unprepared for the fall
It's true, I couldn't keep waiting on you
And I know that you hurt and I know that you tried
But I'll go it alone if I can't satisfy your view
Why live a life I wasn't meant to?

But they told me, "Dance
Keep playin' the game
Press start, continue, look
Within' you, without you
Begin to advance
As far as you can
'Til you lose your winnings
Find new beginnings"
Na-na-na na-na-na

I don't get the love I need anymore
I'm cast out to sea, I can't find the shore
Don't really know what I was thinking
I don't get the love I need anymore
I'm not even sure what I'm searching for
I hear a melody and I start singing

I am lost in a dream, I can't open my eyes
Never told how to live after I say goodbye to you
They tell me, "Find another darling"
How can I find a love when I can't find myself?
When they set me adrift, made me think when I jumped
I flew but this just feels like I am falling

And they told me, "Dance
Follow the rules
The next objective
Feel defective, select
A brand new circumstance
Make lovers of fools
Go through the motions
To feel connected
Without them you're broken, broken, broken, broken"

This was a real treat to look at and listen to ! <3
Congratulations on 9 years!

[UrGrunkleFord]

This song hits so hard. Breaking a bond with someone eventually makes you feel broken and lost- I can relate to this hard. I have this song on loop almost once a month. I'm always told you'll find someone else for you but its hard to do that when you hate yourself so hard you know?
*Thanks for such an amazing song*

Skull guy:i just wanted a heart
Every enemy in these games: understandable die

[GammaRoidGamma]

LYRICAL ANALYSIS:
I've been listening to this song for a while, and I realize it's not necessarily about romantic love. It could be about any sort of love. Skull Guy had someone he loved very much, and became dependent on. After that person was no longer in the picture, he was alone, an alien experience for him. When they tell him to dance, they're saying he'll be fine on his own, and he can be self sufficient. He may have been convinced whatever bond he had was unhealthy. He felt liberated, but he now feels he's falling. That person was his world, and he depended on them. He has no idea of who he is independently, or how to operate alone. He's working alone, but only barely, hence the low HP. He wants any sort of bond again, but when it occurs, he gets scared and flees, fearing any change or abandonment again. He doesn't want to risk anything, as if he gets hurt by anything, he'll fall. They convinced him to go solo to dance, but it turns out it wasn't healthy for him. This really hits home for me, as I moved out of my foster parents home last year, and have been living alone. I can operate, but I desire any bond. I was abandoned by my biological parents, and always clinged to anyone who showed any interest in me. Not everyone is ready to exit a relationship, and it can be detrimental for someone who fears loneliness. People like Skull Guy and I, we thrive around people, but loneliness takes a heavy toll. Without anyone, we're hollow, doing whatever we can to fill the cavity where we store other people.

There’s a lot of messages in this song and visuals, like:

When he was in the driving game, he only went the wrong way

He had run away from the Heartful

Opening the doors in the Doom style game had monsters behind it

Skull guy only could only say the bad things when she asked him on a date

[lok]

I thinks the most impactfull moment is in the pokeverse when he run away, it completly represent the theme i think and i loved it😊

It’s Actually Cool How The Living Tombstone Makes His Own Character.
