Song Meaning of “I Don’t Want to Play Tiger Woods Without You” by The Hextalls
This song is about a relationship that has soured. The narrator is struggling to move on and cannot find the strength to do it without the help of the person they used to be with. The lyrical metaphor of playing Tiger Woods without the other person is a reference to how two people can help lift each other up in life and how hard it is to go back to the struggle of being on their own. The narrator is desperately looking for the comfort and security of their past partnership and is trapped in the loop of reminiscing on their memories together. The chorus of the song embodies the sadness of the relationship’s ending and how easy it is for the pain of loss to become a never ending wave crashing down on the narrator. This song speaks to how strong the grip of nostalgia can be, how it can bring someone back to a place they thought they left behind.
