strangers
Unraveling Love's Echo: Donte Jackson's Strangers
Lyrics
Do you feel like you know everything about him?
Expressing doubt about knowing everything about someone.
Is it real? you don't know, message from the bottle
Questioning the authenticity of a message, using a metaphor of a message in a bottle.
Strangers taking my place
Feeling replaced by strangers.
You better look me in my eyes and spit in my face
Demanding direct confrontation and honesty, even if it's harsh.
'Cause it took me a long time to get over that day
Reflecting on the time and effort taken to move on from a painful experience.
And I thought you was all mine but the love went away
Expressing disappointment in a once-believed enduring love that faded away.
(Yeah)
Confirmation or agreement with the previous line.
But lovin' just ain't worth it
Suggesting that love is not always worth the emotional investment.
Especially when you're worth it
Affirming self-worth and hinting at a situation where love was not reciprocated.
Had some dirt I did on my end
Acknowledging past mistakes or wrongs committed.
Too real, no cap, no lyin'
Emphasizing truthfulness and authenticity, denying falsehood.
I know you like it when we vibin'
Recognizing enjoyment in shared moments or vibes with someone.
Smoke blunts, send posts on IG
Describing casual activities like smoking and social media posts in a past relationship.
I had a real one right beside me
Reminiscing about having a genuine partner by one's side.
And the time changed not the timepiece
Noting that external factors (like time) have changed, but internal feelings remain.
I think I'm in between my feelings
Expressing uncertainty or confusion about one's emotions.
Do I love her or just miss it?
Questioning whether feelings are genuine love or just a longing for the past.
Can you sit down baby listen
Asking for a serious conversation and attention from the partner.
Tryna ask you for forgiveness
Expressing a desire for forgiveness, indicating remorse for past actions.
Asking you for forgiveness (asking you)
Repeating the request for forgiveness, emphasizing its importance.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Reiteration of the plea for forgiveness, possibly indicating the depth of remorse.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
-Yeah, yeah, yeah
-Yeah, yeah, yeah (asking you)
-Girl that's all that I'm asking (yeah)
Emphasizing that forgiveness is the only thing being asked for.
Awh yeah
An exclamation expressing emotion, possibly related to the plea for forgiveness.
Yeah
Repeating an affirmative response, confirming the ask for forgiveness.
