    Fucking poetic and musically gifted! Of course this ballad has to be perfectly relatable :'(
    For those of you wondering what a laserquest is it's a kind of laser tag game. So the message of the song is basically him being hurt from a girl that didn't take things seriously. The girl obviously impacted his life and he thinks about her constantly so he figures itd be best to pretend this girl he used to be with is "just some lover". He describes her as treating love as a "laserquest" or game.

    When I freshly turned 22, a good friend of mine sent me this song while I was going through a very painful break up. This song got me through some dark times, and brought me peace on days when nothing else could.
    Almost 4 years later, I've come back to the song and have my own interpretation of it. I believe that this song examines the stages of grief of losing a relationship. First part when it is still fresh and you're not coping well. Second verse is when you realize you're not coping well and you try something else. The final section is about acceptance and moving forward with your life.
    It took me almost 4 years, but I'm finally able to say that they were just some lover to me.
    For those reading my story, I hope you one day find the same peace that I've found. You may not believe me, but you're far stronger than you think. I didn’t think I could survive without my partner, and there were times I struggled with incredibly self destructive thoughts. It took a really long time, but I made it. I believe in you, and know that you can overcome this ❤

      I’m used to having my heart broken. What I got out of this song is he was in a relationship with someone and it was coming to and end at the same time he had a fan or someone he meant who helped him feel loved and young again. But his fame or his life style kept them apart. He don’t trust no one and he wanted he to prove her self to him. But her fear was to great and it never happened

    Love how everyone's putting their love stories on here, so might as well do the same. Let me just start off saying that this song is amazing, Arctic Monkeys in general are amazing and I've been listening to this song for more months now and only today has it felt so relatable, I feel so close to it. It's been almost exactly a year since I confessed to my best friend that I finally had feelings towards her. In these past 12 months however she's kept breaking up with me and then getting back together with me. About 4 months ago she cut off with me completely, no goodbye, no nothing, so I went through this hard time of trying to get back on feet, I kept blaming myself because I thought it ended because of me, but not long after I did start to realise I deserve a lot better, so much better, she was basically treating me poorly, whereas I treated her like the best thing in the world and even others could see that, even her brother. Not even a month ago, when I was literally about to move on from everything, this random person starts chatting to me on this app and then after a day I figure out it's her and then she starts admitting how wrong she was and that I was right from the very beginning, she was willing to drop everything just to have me back. 4 months, 4 months of rage built up, saved for this moment.... But it didn't come out. Some part of me still absoulty loved her, some part of me was a fool and still wanted her. So then we got back together and immediatly all my friends and family were saying how I'm making a bad choice, how I'm being a fool again and that she'll hurt you and leave again. I said I know, I know all of that, but yet I'm still doing it. I'm a fool, it sortve reminds me of Suck it and see also: "Be cruel to me, cause I'm a fool for you". From that day I was highly conflicted on what to, I know I should leave, but at the same time I wanted this, I wanted her, my ray of sunshine back. And I told her this, my concerns my worries, how I'm tired and it can't be me making the first move anymore, it's her that has to prove to me, not just say it and she said she would do things differently and that she's willing to do it. But then guess what, since this was literally not even a month ago, of course she goes back to her old ways. She does nothing to keep me or prove to me again, doesn't even seem to care that I'm upset of my emotions are mixed and then one day I almost break up with her, I say that maybe we should and she says she knows. This was about two weeks ago and somehow I can't remember what happened next, but we were still together, but she says to still give it a chance and that if it happens again I have to leave her. Which leads me to this past week. She just keeps pushing me away, never interested at all and only wants me around when she wants too, never when I want too. On Wednesday I was almost tempted again to break up with her, as she just still pushes me away constantly but I refrain from doing it because I feel like I'm overreacting and I felt bad and I talk to her about and I apologise, but I shouldn't, she's been doing this for the past year, whereas I give it my all but in the end it's all just the same thing. Which then leads me to yesterday. I go and talk to her but she doesn't even seem that interested that I'm there, and I ask her if I should go and she says yes cause she wants to read her book. But this time I don't move and we still sortve talk, but not even 10 minutes later a few people ask her if she wants to play a card game and she gets up and goes over there and just leaves me, it was at that point I finally realised I wasn't overreacting, I had to do something about this. So at the end of lunch, I went and pulled her away from the game and talked to her, I asked her if this we were still on, still together, because all she does is push me away and never seems to make me feel important when she always says how amazing I am. And all she does is stand there and says one question. What do you want me to do? We've literally been having this conversation like this for ages and u ask what should u do? I literally said all this stuff about what I want from her and she asks that. In the end, I just gave up and said: You know what, fine, if your not gonna fight for this relationship or fight for me, then I guess we're done. I then walked away, out the door, didn't see her reaction. A part of me was hoping that she would turn around and stop me and say: Wait, stop please, I'm sorry for doing all of this, etc etc, u get the point. But no. Nothing. I've been fighting for almost a year and I never gave up whereas she just keeps giving up each month. I relapsed so hard last night that I was pleading for her to keep fighting, but no, she was blaming me of breaking up with her, when she wanted me to in the first place. Today she gave me my stuff back, but shoved it right in my face, said everythings in there and walked off. No goodbye, no nothing. Again. Seriously. This is exactly what she did last time. Now that I listen to this song, especially during the lines, "Well I've found a better method of pretending you were just some lover". In my mind, to me she meant the whole world to me, I would've given her this whole world if I could. But now... I don't know what to think about her. I guess in my mind the lyrics mean that your pretending that this is some random love and it doesn't mean anything to the anymore, that after all this time, they've found a solution to not think of them as the best thing in the world. I always think of her with songs like Suck it and see, Mardy Bum, Only ones who know and Do me a favour. They just seem so real and it's just.... Yeah. In the end I know I didn't lose anything and I know I've only just put my side of the story down and I've always tried to look at it from her view and see if I'm missing something, at times yes, I have and I do realise that and I correct myself and I tell my friends and family about that, I try explain everything from both our sides. But in the end I know I made the right choice. Today I didn't expect to cry, I told myself I wouldn't but I guess when you actually do come to the situation, it's a lot harder than u think. But it's normal, crying is a normal human thing and I don't feel ashamed of it. Sorry that this thing is so long, but I don't care if anyone complains, there's no rule on here that says that I can't and if you did read this far, then bloody hell I am proud of you and thank you so much for reading. I hope you understood this, cause there's so much more I left out, but this was just the main stuff. But again thanks for reading :)

      Update time yalllll woohoo!!
      Wow can't believe I posted that 5 months ago. So hugggeeee update. Literally not long after that we start talking again, but within a matter of weeks she ghosts me and neglects me for other people. One night though we do have a big sit down and talk about it all and agree for it to be a mutual break up. The next day I was pretty bummed about it and actually cried a lot when I got home. But after that.... I felt fine, for the next few weeks or so, I was doing fine. It wasn't until one night I discovered that she was stalking a whole bunch of my social media. She was updating her playlist with my songs and all. This went on for about a week before I called her out on it. (yeh I know, I saw the playlist when I shouldn't have and I made first move when I shouldn't have) and guess what, we got back together, again. This time it was a little different, she was starting to be there for me a lot more, however again, that didn't last very long. It was going back to me being there for her again and she never there for me. I had one of my best friends move back to Germany, but she didn't seem to care about that, I found out that the person whom had basically been a grandfather to me was in hospital, but she didn't care about that either, there was a fight going on between two of my other friends and when I tried help sort things out I lost one of them as a friend. And she. Didn't. Care. Every night she said that she could only chat at 2am in the morning, so because of that plus all the things that had happened, it wasn't affecting me very well. And one night I tried called her out on this, but she just ghosted me again. She kept ghosting me up until new years. Where she spilled out all of her problems onto me, but as mad as I was, I still listened to her. The first was she spilled so much stuff about this guy that she used to like around the same time as me, there was a love triangle that happened a year ago. And she goes on to say all this stuff about him and that.... Sortve made me think that she wanted him back, cause she'd never talked about me in that way before and it made me feel infurior to him, that apparently out bond meant nothing compared to him and her. And she didn't even deny that. She said to me that she never prosessed everything that happened between them when she left him. And just knowing that she could've contacted him anytime.... Anyway, there were some other reasons but those are personal. I told her I wanted to work through the problem with her together, but she said no, this was something that she has to figure out and she couldn't do that to me. So I offered to go on a break, for her to just figure everything out and her feelings towards me, she didn't even say yes. Well actually she didn't even say anything much about that. There was no agreement or anything. The next day I send her an email about how amazing she was and I sent her a song that I had written for her. But the next few nights she just talked to me as if nothing was wrong at all, but she knew that so much of this had taken a toll on me also but she didn't even care. The next few nights after that she ghosts me again. Until one night I text her and say what was going on between us? I was so broken that night, so utterly distraught that I may have said a few things which I shouldn't have. I didn't even go to sleep that night. Until the morning she texted me saying that apparently that night on new year's I complained about her problem. Wtf?! When she talked about the guy I was immediately on edge, I asked a whole bunch of questions like does she want him back or does she miss him or anything, that's not complaining. Even though I had my problems, I dropped them to hear her problems. She then also says "fine I want a break, there, now go away" and that was it, that was the last time I talked to her. That happened about a month and a half ago. I see a bit from time to time, but she doesn't even look at me anymore. She looks so happy and tbh... As much as I want her to feel better, it sortve hurts, she just threw me out like that again. In my mind we've definitely broken up again and it feels indefinite. Since that night on new years, I always wonder if she'll find someone better than me and if she's talking to him right now. I did email her, 3 weeks into the no contact, hoping that she was alright and all. Now. I feel like the chapters over and I've gotta move forward, I've trying to, but from time to time I keep slipping back and miss her. But I keep reminding myself, how is it love, if she keeps leaving me over and over again

I've always been a little sassy and primadonna, he made me hate myself, he made me insicure and sad, but I didn't realise it since he literally disappeared from my life without saying goodbye or anything. Sometimes I met him, but he just ignore me so I do too, because now I am confident and happy again and I have lots of people that love me and who I love, but I often ask my self why he went away just like this and how he is now. It's a pretty sad story and this song reminds me about it every fucking time.

    Do you still feel younger than you thought you would by now
    Or, darling, have you started feeling old yet
    Don't worry, I'm sure that you're still breaking hearts
    With the efficiency that only youth can harness
    And do you still think love is a Laserquest
    Or do you take it all more seriously
    I've tried to ask you this in some daydreams that I've had
    But you're always busy being make-believe
    And do you look into the mirror to remind yourself you're there
    Or have somebody's good-night kisses got that covered
    Well I'm not being honest, I'll pretend that you were just some lover
    Now I can't think of air without thinking of you
    I doubt that comes as a surprise
    And I can't think of anything to dream about
    I can't find anywhere to hide
    And when I'm hanging on by the rings around my eyes
    And I convince myself I need another
    And for a minute it gets easier to pretend that you were just some lover
    When I'm pipe and slippers and rocking chair
    Singing dreadful songs about something
    Well I've found a better method of pretending you were just some lover

    Arctic Monkeys was her favourite band; She hurt me so much, and because of her I hurt so many people. Love is an endless loop of pain. I still think about her after more than 1 year. She used to like me but suddenly started to act like she didn't know me. I was deeply in love with her, she's the first girl I've ever loved, and she cruelly broke my heart. Sometimes I think I'll never love again because every person I meet seems nothing compared to her, and I can't help but wondering how it would have been like to be able to love her. Sometimes I miss her so much I think I would die, but I think she'll never talk to me again. This song has become my favourite, because it describes perfectly my feelings.

      Beto Balderas It's not like I crave her right now. She's on the other end of the world now and probably engaged. But more than that it would be sad to get into the same loop again only to find out that was a bad idea. Just the songs like these bring out emotions on those lonely nights. Funny though, I like it. Makes me feel more human and vulnerable. And above all, it makes a good story to remember.

    When I was eighteen, I was heartbroken and insecure. So I met this girl who said she wouldn't be like the girl before her, and I truly believed in her words. She used to tell me she'd like to stay four years with me and watch us grow up into different, more mature versions of ourselves. Now I'm about to turn 21 this year and I've dated other people, but everytime I see my right knuckles and I see them all crooked and ruined, I can't help but to hear her songs inside of my head, the cold air filling my lungs like it used to everytime I walked her home after she got out of work. It might have been short and probably meaningless for someone else, but I can't pretend it was only that for me, if every minute of it felt like a movie. The music, the parties, driving around and skating with my friends, eating pizza, watching movies, meeting new people.

    Had an on off relationship with a girl for about 2 1/2 years. She was perfect but things just kept getting between us and we were always playing petty little games. She would sometimes make me feel like the luckiest man alive, and at other times I hated the idea of even texting her. After breaking up for the millionth time a couple months ago, we were both really depressed and recently she was trying to get back together with me. I finally decided enough is enough and I told her how I feel that we should completely cut off our relationship and move on. Still really sad about her but Arctic Monkeys and their beautiful lyrics are helping me get through it.

    I've always had an affinity for this song.
    Suck It and See was the soundtrack to my high school years and this song has always been my favorite from that album for some reason.
    Something about hanging on with the rings around your eyes and thinking another one will help stood out to me back when the midnight hours seemed to hold promise of days past and potential futures to come.
    I went to college and lost my dear girlfriend at the time.
    Again I spent hours past midnight thinking about days gone and the potential future that seemed to vanish into ash.
    I didnt know how to move on. I still, I'm still not sure if I did or not.
    I dont want to talk to her or anything.
    I dont want to go back and I dont know how to move forward.
    That's me now.
    At the time I just wanted to find someone else to warm the pain away.
    Somehow I found a woman and we spent 5 wonderful years together.
    We got the apartment together, we got a dog.
    My first dog ran away so I was hesitant to get attached again but damn if that little creature didnt melt my heart.
    We really enjoyed listening to the Monkeys together.
    We even went to a concert for the tranquility base tour.
    I wanted them to play this song but that was never going to happen.
    We really enjoyed going to concerts together.
    Concerts and movies were everything to us.
    Well we moved in together too quickly and drifted apart too slowly.
    I dont think I was ready.
    I couldnt even take care of myself, mentally, physically, emotionally.
    I couldnt particularly take care of her either.
    I phrase our life together as a warm cabin in the middle of a raging cyclone.
    And we were just trying to hold our world together and keep the storm outside.
    Eventually it came inside and she had to move out.
    Or wanted to.
    Anyway I couldnt really handle this so I got drunker then I've ever been.
    Blacked out and woke up the next morning with a hangover that lasted weeks.
    Apparently I just called everyone I knew and just had an emotional breakdown.
    My puppy was never far in the middle of all this so I take it as I wasnt actually dangerous or anything just catatonically sad.
    Anyway I woke up the next morning and we just did the things we normally did.
    Take our puppy to the park and play soccer/football together.
    I heard the acoustic version of this song and for some reason it never left my mind those two weeks.
    Such a gentle little life.
    Anyway she moved out and took the puppy with her.
    I was living alone and she moved to a place with another dog our puppy got along with so I figured it would be best if she had company because I'm basically living the divorced dad life now and I wasn't ready to take care of her the way she needed me to.
    As a little bit of revenge I guess, I decided to talk to a woman she was always jealous of and who always seemed to be kind to me whenever I was having a breakdown.
    Freshman year of college I'd always tell people "listen I know I'm a lot but just pat me on the head and tell me it's just in my head and I'll calm down"
    She was the only one who did.
    Anyways I normally send music I make to everyone I know so I just sent her some and she actually responded with music that she played over my music.
    This blew my fucking mind so I actually finished a full song with her help.
    A year later and I dont wanna be codependent on her for music so I decide to do an open mic on my own.
    I've always... never been particularly confident in my voice but after she left I figured I had nothing to lose.
    Our puppy always liked hearing me play so I decided to sing and play as if I was playing to her.
    I've gotten alright at it i guess.
    So for the open mic i chose to sing and play this song.
    It seemed fitting.
    Now I just have memories and I cant envision a future anymore.
    Will I have found a way to pretend you were just some lover?
    That's why it's my favorite song of theirs.
