"Goo" by Em Beihold is a song that explores the pain and frustration of being in an unrequited love. The lyrics suggest that the narrator's mind is like "goo," constantly drawn back to the person they desire, despite never having a chance with them. The narrator feels that they are good enough for the person's superficial desires, symbolized by the reference to "911s," but they are not the one the person chooses to spend their time with during the good times. This brings a sense of hurt and jealousy, especially when the person makes coffee for someone else before going to bed. The narrator expresses their unease and dissatisfaction with the situation, confessing that they don't want to hear any excuses or promises that the person will be there in spirit. They see it as a stab in the heart, and instead, they suggest that the person should go call a cab next time they need something. The song also touches on the narrator's attempts to make the person happy and be there for them, seen in lines such as picking them up from LAX and listening to them talk about their ex. However, despite their efforts, they feel unnoticed and like an idiot for still holding on to their feelings. The lyrics also mention losing to Jesus, indicating that the person's faith or religious beliefs may be a hindrance to their relationship. Despite the pain and uncertainty, the narrator confesses that they still need this person, highlighting the complexity of their emotions. Overall, "Goo" conveys the internal struggle of loving someone who doesn't reciprocate those feelings fully. It examines the feelings of insecurity, inadequacy, and the desire for recognition and reciprocation in a relationship.
