Sugarless Lyrics

Cover art for Sugarless lyrics by Autolux

well, i think this song is about a couple breaking up.

"impossible day i don’t complain i’m over it i guess scattered and grey so i hold it back and keep it sugarless"

i think eugene and carla are the both parts of that couple, so guy and girl, that's why the refrain is song twice. they both feel the same way about their relationship. you see, that they aren't really over it, cause they add "i guess" at the end of that line, making them look uncertain. so they somehow still feel for each other, but don't admit it to themselves. but they both don't wanna go on, so that they keep their upcoming emotions "sugarless" ("i hold it back and keep it sugarless"). well ... in the end one part realizes the situation and caves in ... just without a reason ("you just caved in yeah. it came from nowhere")
