Benzo
Unveiling Emotional Turmoil: Blood Orange's "Benzo" Reflection
Lyrics
I'm like, it was like
Reflecting on a past experience, expressing a similarity or resemblance.
It was too late, it was late
Regret about a missed opportunity or a delayed realization.
I saw, oh, I see
Noticing or realizing something; acknowledging a sight or observation.
Nothing that is confident to me
Perceiving a lack of self-assurance or certainty in the surroundings.
Repeat (repeat) and discreet (discreet)
Repetition and secrecy in emotions, suggesting a need for privacy or reservation.
Feelings that are not supposed to be
Feelings that deviate from societal expectations or norms.
Ooh
An interjection expressing emotion, possibly emphasizing the preceding lines.
Open the door, leave me with arms exposed, oh
Invoking a scenario of vulnerability, perhaps a plea for openness or understanding.
Outside, I saw where I belong
Recognition of a place where the speaker feels a sense of belonging.
What's worse? Ego?
Pondering a comparison between ego and a negative aspect, questioning what is worse.
Thinking that it's something that you're owed
Highlighting the misconception of entitlement, implying one should not expect undeserved things.
2 AM, it's not like it was
Noting a temporal shift, suggesting a change in circumstances at 2 AM.
Listen to the fears that you hear now, oh yeah
Encouraging attentiveness to current fears or concerns, acknowledging their presence.
Open the door, leave me with arms exposed, oh
Repetition of the theme of vulnerability and a desire for openness.
Outside, I saw where I belong
Reiteration of a place where the speaker feels a sense of belonging.
Ooh
An interjection expressing emotion, possibly emphasizing the preceding lines.
