The track echoes the hazy psychedelia of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/the-meaning-behind-dracula-by-tame-impala\/\">Tame Impala<\/a>. It\u2019s propelled not only by a four-on-the-floor groove but also by Sombr\u2019s hooky falsetto and gloomy heartbreak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lonerism<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"sombr - 12 to 12 (official video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cZgUiR31m-Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The first verse opens with a smitten Sombr, though the girl\u2019s feelings are not mutual. Then he spots her dancing with another man and assumes she has cruel intentions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I don\u2019t want anyone else,<br>From the hours of 12 to 12.<br>I am not the least compelled,<br>By anyone but yourself.<br>Look at me, it makes me melt,<br>I know you wanna see me in hell, my love.<br>I\u2019m dealing with the cards I\u2019ve dealt,<br>While you\u2019re dancing with somebody else<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, our hero is falling hard, and he becomes paranoid that she was up to some kind of devious plan from the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Was it always in your plan to leave eventually?<br>Because to me, there\u2019s no one else that could make sense to me.<br>The last and final puzzle piece<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, he searches every room, looking for the girl. He wonders if she feels the same way. But he likely already knows the answer. Otherwise, he wouldn\u2019t be asking whether she\u2019d choose to avoid him. It appears Sombr, perhaps fated by his stage name, is ruthlessly destined for melancholy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>In a room full of people, I look for you.<br>Would you avoid me, or would you look for me too?<br>Tell me, is our story through?<br>Or do our hearts still beat in tune?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>French Rejection<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the second verse, Sombr mentions meeting the girl at The Paris Caf\u00e9 in New York. And her reaction to meeting him doesn\u2019t match his eagerness. He speaks in French, which translates to \u201cHow come&#8230;\u201d or \u201cHow is it that&#8230;\u201d The rejection leaves Sombr wishing he\u2019d never looked her way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>We met in The Paris Caf\u00e9,<br>I said, \u201cCan I sit with you? Comment \u00e7a se fait?\u201d<br>My mistake.<br>If I\u2019d known it would have been this way,<br>I\u2019d never looked at you, looked in the first place<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photo by Angela Weiss\/AFP via Getty Images<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Sombr\u2019s disco hit, \u201c12 To 12\u201d, the singer born Shane Boose offers a dark banger about unrequited love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":973477,"featured_media":3629,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"byline":{"profiles":[{"type":"byline_id","atts":{"term_id":316,"post_id":2139}}]},"savage_platform_role_ideator":[],"savage_platform_role_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_senior_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_photographer":[],"savage_platform_role_illustrator":[],"savage_platform_role_translator":[],"savage_platform_role_as-told-to":[],"savage_platform_role_reviewed-by":[],"savage_platform_disable_recirculation":false,"savage_platform_article_type":"news","savage_platform_vice_article_type":"article","savage_platform_article_intent":"","savage_platform_show_affiliate_disclaimer":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"wp_curate_deduplication":false,"wp_curate_unique_pinned_posts":false,"savage_platform_featured_image_caption":"Photo by ANGELA WEISS \/ AFP","_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"savage_platform_subheadline":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[36,215],"byline":[316],"class_list":["post-3627","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features","tag-pop-music","tag-sombr"],"savage_platform_primary_term":{"category":{"term_name":"Features","term_id":12,"term_link":"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/category\/features\/"},"post_tag":{"term_name":"pop music","term_id":36,"term_link":"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/tag\/pop-music\/"}},"hide_from_homepage":false,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
