They express the frustration of hearing only the bad and not being able to focus on the good aspects of life. The song also touches upon the pressure and self-doubt that success can bring. Despite achieving success, the protagonist feels like a mess and is crippled by self-doubt. They question their own identity and long for some time to understand who they have become. The influence of social media is also addressed, with the protagonist finding it a nuisance and feeling overwhelmed by the opinions and judgments of others. They express a dedication to their craft and a desire to tune out the negativity. The chorus highlights the repetitive nature of these negative thoughts, as they continuously play over and over in the protagonist's mind. They can't escape the cycle and wish they could be anyone else instead. The bridge of the song emphasizes how criticism and negative comments stick in the protagonist's mind and are replayed like a song. They struggle to silence these thoughts and find themselves questioning everything they do. Overall, "Repeat" shines a light on the battle with self-doubt, the impact of external criticisms, and the longing for peace from the constant replay of negative thoughts.
