Lyrics
I been painting shit like I'm Van Gogh
I express myself artistically, akin to Van Gogh's painting style
Rolled up, dark lights, need a show
In a dimly lit environment, prepared for a performance
Had to change the number to my cell phone
Changed my phone number for personal reasons
I realized that I rather be alone
Realized a preference for solitude
I been painting shit like I'm Van Gogh
Continuation of expressing emotions through art
Rolled up, dark lights, need a show
Repeat of the setting for a performance
Had to change the number to my cell phone
Reiteration of changing the phone number and embracing solitude
I realized that I rather be alone
Reaffirmation of the realization to be alone
I don't wanna hear the shit that you talking
Unwillingness to hear irrelevant talk
Dressed in black, you in love and you stalking
Describing someone in love, dressed in black, possibly obsessive
Black nails, dead girl in a coffin
Imagery of dark elements, hinting at a challenging situation
Try to catch yourself I noticed that you're falling
Observing someone's struggle and potential downfall
If I gave you all of me, would you take it all?
Pondering if someone would accept all aspects of the self
Put that make-up on your face and become a doll
Reference to applying makeup and adopting a doll-like appearance
I don't wanna love no more
Expressing a reluctance to love
Ring; another call
Receiving another call, possibly unwelcome
Roll dope, pop xans with the alcohol
Indulging in substances with a starry night reference
Starry night, twinkle eyes
Visual imagery of a starry night and twinkling eyes
Say you miss me through the lies
Alleged insincere expressions of missing someone
Am I the only one that tries?
Doubt about being the only one making an effort
Yeah, yeah
Repetition of earlier themes and emotions
Starry night, twinkle eyes
-Starry night, twinkle eyes
-Say you miss me through the lies
-Am I the only one that tries?
-I been painting shit like I'm Van Gogh
Reiteration of the artist's lifestyle and preference for solitude
Rolled up, dark lights, need a show
-Had to change the number to my cell phone
-I realized that I rather be alone
-I been painting shit like I'm Van Gogh
-Rolled up, dark lights, need a show
-Had to change the number to my cell phone
-I realized that I rather be alone
-Red roses, blue eyes
Description of various scenes, possibly related to relationships
Hay fields, late nights
-Car drives, alright
-All we do is fight, fight
-Car drives, my place
-3AM half baked
-Make a film, make a tape
-Nice skinny sleek shape
-Miss me, miss me
Rejecting fake expressions and causing emotional turmoil
With that fake shit
-Got you quaking
-You can't take it
-M.I.A without a trace bitch
Embracing independence and rejecting insincere love
Call me, Call me
-I'm going ape shit
-No love
-For the fakes
Expressing disdain for fake individuals
Get the fuck
-Out of my face
-You a little guy
Dismissing someone as insignificant and being elusive
Lowercase
-M.I.A
-Without a trace
-Stop it, Stop it
Desiring personal space and rejecting negativity
I need space
-Bitch boy leaves in a brace
-Keep up
Encouraging others to keep up with their own pace
At my pace
-Somewhere, somehow, someplace
-Starry night, twinkle eyes
Repetition of themes related to starry nights and self-reflection
Say you miss me through the lies
-Am I the only one that tries?
-Yeah, yeah
-Starry night, twinkle eyes
-Starry night, twinkle eyes
-Say you miss me through the lies
-Am I the only one that tries?
-I been painting shit like I'm Van Gogh
Final repetition of artistic expression and the preference for solitude
Rolled up, dark lights, need a show
-Had to change the number to my cell phone
-I realized that I rather be alone
