The Grapes' raw post-punk song on the uncomfortable side of dying love, "Repeat Mode," is about not being able to let someone go. The lyrics bounce between the warmth of connection and the cold reality of what's to come. It's like an ouch moment, "We got colder, we got colder." The chorus of the song, "Until you got me on repeat mode / Babe in my mind," is the perfect metaphor for the mental loop that happens when a relationship starts to break down. The track is full of character, sharp imagery, restless emotion and driving lyric rhythm. Repeat Mode is messy, honest, and deliberately unresolved.
