Notes
- If the song has had an explanation generated for it before, then every other request for the same song will have the same response. This is to cut down on errors such as being rate limited, costs, and so forth. This endpoint also has very aggressive rate limiting.
- Cached responses do not count towards your hourly quota.
- A line-specific explanation is cached separately from the whole-song explanation.

"explanation": "The song centers on a feeling of intense, almost addictive longing for someone who is emotionally out of reach. The speaker describes holding the person tightly, feeling stimulated by their presence — comparing the effect to an amphetamine — while also being plagued by insomnia, secrecy, and fear that the affection is not reciprocated. There is a repeated wish to have been more honest and to have confessed the desire to keep the person “for me,” revealing regret over missed opportunities.
Throughout the track, the narrator tries to cope with the pain by dancing to every song as if it were about the beloved, drinking until they kiss strangers who resemble them, and spinning through parties while tears mingle with their drink. These actions illustrate a cycle of distraction and self‑medication, underscoring the theme of yearning mixed with self‑recrimination. No concrete storyline or specific references beyond these emotional cues are presented in the lyrics.",
