The song "You Suck Charlie" by Joji is a melancholic and introspective piece, exploring themes of loneliness, longing, and frustration in a relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and yearning for the other person's presence and attention. The opening line, "ま、今夜は本気でやってもらいますね。" (Well, you'll do it for me tonight right?), suggests a request or plea for genuine connection and effort from the other person. The following lines, "One, two, three, four おねがいします。" (One, two, three, four, please), further emphasize the urgency and importance placed on this request. The repeated line "I never see you anymore" expresses the narrator's lament about the lack of closeness and connection they feel with their partner. It conveys a sense of disappointment and sadness in the fading or distant nature of the relationship. The chorus, with lines like "Baby, can you be a little bit stronger? Baby, cause I need a little longer," reveals the narrator's desire for the other person to be more emotionally present and committed. They long for the relationship to be more fulfilling and lasting. The mention of the other person being both an "earthly comfort" and "divine" highlights their significance and importance to the narrator. Overall, the song portrays a sense of longing and frustration in a relationship where the narrator feels increasingly disconnected and unseen. They are hoping for the other person to make an effort and bring back the intimacy they once shared.
