"Prove It" by Elvis Depressedly is a song that explores the emotions and struggles of a broken relationship. The lyrics depict a sense of devastation and insanity caused by the end of the relationship. The song begins by describing the protagonist as being left in the same state they were found in - devastated, insane, and drowning in their emotions. The line "Around the world in a day and then nothing" may suggest that their connection was intense but short-lived. The protagonist feels that their attempts to communicate their pain have become monotonous and uninteresting to the other person. The chorus, "Gotta let you out of my heart, so we can start over" reflects the protagonist's desire to move on from the pain and start anew. They understand that holding onto the past will not allow them to begin again. By releasing the person from their heart, they can have a fresh start without the weight of the previous relationship. The second verse describes the protagonist feeling a deep sense of frustration and anger in response to the way they are being abandoned. "Commiserating with rage, sundowning" suggests that they are sympathizing with others who feel the same rage and are experiencing a sense of decline in their mental state. The line "I wrote on every page, it's useless" implies that the protagonist has expressed their feelings extensively but feels that it was fruitless. They believe that all the pain they went through was not worth it, and they want to prove this to themselves and the other person. Overall, "Prove It" is a song about the end of a relationship and the protagonist's need to let go, start fresh, and prove to themselves that the pain they experienced was not worth it. It encapsulates the emotions of devastation, frustration, and the desire for closure.
