Playing You
Breaking Free: Unraveling the Deceptive Dance of 'Playing You' by Erah Kings
Lyrics
Shame on you
Expressing disapproval or disappointment towards the listener.
For letting too much slide
Criticizing the listener for overlooking or tolerating too many things.
You know you're losing your dignity
Highlighting the listener's diminishing self-respect.
Slowly hurting your pride
Indicating that the listener is gradually damaging their self-esteem.
Oh baby girl look at you now
Observing the listener's current state and questioning their actions.
What are you doing it for
Raising a question about the purpose or motivation behind the listener's behavior.
The less you know the better
Suggesting that ignorance might be better in some situations.
But sometimes less isn't more
Contrasting the idea that sometimes more knowledge is not beneficial.
You know he's Playing You
Asserting that the listener is being deceived or manipulated.
You know he's Playing You
Reiterating the awareness of being deceived.
Yeah he's just Playing You
Emphasizing that the deception is intentional.
You know he's just Playing You
Restating the deliberate nature of the manipulation.
How long will you stay in his orbit?
Posing a question about the listener's persistence in a harmful relationship.
How much will you take?
Inquiring about the limits of what the listener can endure.
Is it worth losing your peace of mind?
Questioning the value of sacrificing peace of mind for the relationship.
Is it really worth the price you pay?
Challenging the listener to assess if the relationship's cost is justified.
His words are sweeter than honey
Describing the deceptive allure of the manipulator's words.
Colder than rain
Characterizing the manipulator's words as having a dual nature—sweet yet cold.
Deep as the ocean
Comparing the depth of the manipulator's words to the vastness of the ocean.
But don't you dare let them get into your heart
Warning against letting the manipulator's words affect one's emotions.
Cause you know he's said them twice the same
Asserting that the manipulator repeats his words with a similar meaning.
You know he's Playing You
Reiterating the acknowledgment of being played or deceived.
You know he's Playing You
Restating the awareness of being deceived for emphasis.
Yeah he's just Playing You
Emphasizing once again the intentional nature of the manipulation.
You know he's just Playing You
Reaffirming the awareness of being intentionally manipulated.
A fragile heart like yours is too easy to break
Describing the listener's heart as vulnerable and easily damaged.
You're playing a losing game and you know it
Asserting that the listener is engaged in a relationship with inevitable loss.
Let it go
Advising the listener to release or move on from the harmful relationship.
Let it go
Reiterating the advice to let go of the detrimental situation.
