The Hush Sound's song "Love You Much Better" is about unrequited love and the longing to be noticed and loved by someone who seems to pay more attention to others. The lyrics express the frustration and confusion of the narrator, questioning why the person they love sings to everybody else except them. The song portrays the narrator as being deeply infatuated with this person, to the point where they have become like a daydream, always present in their thoughts. However, despite their feelings, the person they love only seems interested in others, falling for someone else who may not truly appreciate them. The lyrics suggest that the person the narrator loves is chasing after superficial qualities such as appearance and materialism, personified by the girl with wild eyes dressed in satin and lace. They see her as an empty diamond mine, someone who may be visually appealing but lacks depth and substance, as evidenced by the moan across her face. This can be seen as a critique of society's obsession with appearances and superficiality. Throughout the song, the narrator expresses their desire to love this person better, believing that they could offer them a more genuine and fulfilling love than what they currently have. They assert that if the person cannot see this, they are blind to the narrator's genuine affection. The repeated lines, "I can love you much better, oh you know someday, I'm gonna make you mine," emphasize the narrator's determination and confidence that one day their love will be reciprocated. Overall, "Love You Much Better" captures the emotions of unrequited love, longing, and the hope of being noticed and loved by someone who seems to overlook the narrator's affections.
