Lyrics

Fuck am I out here tryna find in Santa Monica

Expressing confusion or frustration about being in Santa Monica

Maybe a model named Veronica

Possibly looking for a model named Veronica

Who reads books and makes playlist without no genres

Describing desired qualities in Veronica: reading books and creating diverse playlists

That could make my life a movie like a romcom with a splash of erotica

Wishing for a life that resembles a romantic comedy with a hint of erotica

Wishing we gave up on making our parents proud of us

Expressing a desire to give up on seeking approval from parents

We act like we don't care but the truth is so obvious

Acknowledging that pretending not to care is a facade

That's why we moved out here

Moving to Santa Monica to create a positive image for parents

So we could leave them with a happy mirage of us

Creating a happy illusion for parents to hold onto

To visualize every time that they have a thought of us

Wanting parents to think positively about the individual

And forget about how we skipped out on colleges

Reflecting on skipping college and its implications

Well maybe that was just me reminiscing on the beach

Personal reflection on the beach about the desire for a relationship or connection

Thinking I want a relationship but maybe I just want someone to relate with yea

Questioning if the desire is for a relationship or just someone to relate with

Waves so cold thought

Describing the coldness of the emotional waves

Swimming alone would save my soul but

Swimming alone as a means to save one's soul

They don't know what they don't know yea

Highlighting the lack of awareness in others

They don't know what they don't know yea

Repeating the theme of others' ignorance

Waves so cold thought

Reiterating the coldness of emotional waves

Swimming alone would save my soul but

Emphasizing the solitary nature of swimming for soul salvation

They don't know what they don't know yea

Repeating the theme of others' lack of awareness

They don't know what they don't know yea

Reiterating the idea that others are unaware

Fuck am I tryna do in Cali, fuck with Gavin Newsom?

Raising questions about the purpose of being in California and mentioning Gavin Newsom

Is the only reason I'm here is to maintain illusions

Suspecting that maintaining illusions is the primary reason for being there

And avoid solutions and stall conclusions

Avoiding solutions and delaying decisions to maintain the current state

And act like my life in Atlanta ain't all in ruins

Reflecting on life in Atlanta and its potential ruin

And I mean its not but it could've been

Acknowledging that life in Atlanta is not entirely ruined

Maybe if I didn't come out here then it would've been

Suggesting that not coming to Santa Monica could have led to a different outcome

Shit, anything to feel good about myself

Expressing a desire to feel good about oneself

Cause though I'm good by myself

Acknowledging being fine alone but still desiring companionship

Kinda wish I wasn't by myself yea

Expressing a desire for companionship

Waves so cold thought

Reiterating the coldness of emotional waves

Swimming alone would save my soul but

Swimming alone as a means to save one's soul, emphasizing solitude

They don't know what they don't know yea

Repeating the theme of others' lack of awareness

They don't know what they don't know yea

Reiterating the idea that others are unaware

Waves so cold thought

Reiterating the coldness of emotional waves

Swimming alone would save my soul but

Emphasizing the solitary nature of swimming for soul salvation

They don't know what they don't know yea

Repeating the theme of others' lack of awareness

They don't know what they don't know yea

Reiterating the idea that others are unaware
