No Surprise
Breaking Hearts, Finding Solitude: Foreign Frnd's No Surprise
Lyrics
Yeah
Expressing affirmation or agreement
Yeah
-Foreign, look
Introducing the artist as "Foreign"
You think it's right
Reflecting contrasting opinions or perspectives
I think it's wrong now
-Tears in my eyes
Indicating emotional distress through tears
Now watch them fall down
Observing tears falling, possibly symbolizing emotional pain
It's no surprise
Stating that a situation is not surprising
How this gon' go down
Anticipating and acknowledging the outcome
It's no surprise
-I'm on my own now
Expressing a sense of independence
I gotta go
Conveying the need to leave and emphasizing a lack of understanding
Gotta hit the road
-You think you know
-But you don't really know shit
-I gotta go
-Gotta hit the road
-You think you know
-But you don't really know shit
-I cannot focus
Describing emotional struggles, feeling hopeless, and homeless
Drowning in emotions
-Been feeling hopeless
-And I can't let you notice
-My hearts been homeless
-And I haven't felt homesick
-Thought you should know
Informing about a lack of control over a situation
That this is out my control
Acknowledging a previous disclosure of information
Yeah I told you what it was, and you didn't wanna hear it
Reflecting on past communication and its consequences
Now you fallin' all in love, saying that I broke your spirit
-When you knew this from start, I'm not one to share my feelings
-I ain't mean to break your heart, and it hurts me that you feel that
-And it hurts, you should know
Expressing empathy and understanding of the other's pain
You're not grieving on your own
Affirming shared experiences and offering wishes for healing
You're not feeling this alone
-Pray you're healing and you've grown
-I'm not concealing I just know
Admitting past similar emotional struggles and regret
The way you feel I've felt before
-That's why this shit just hurts me more
-Because I broke something so pure, yeah
-You think it's right
Repeating the theme of expecting and accepting an inevitable outcome
I think it's wrong now
-Tears in my eyes
-Now watch them fall down
-It's no surprise
-How this gon' go down
-It's no surprise
-I'm on my own now
-Trauma on trauma it's carrying on
Describing a series of challenges and personal losses
Problems on problems is all that I got
-Drama on drama is not what I want
-Causing this nonsense I'm losing a lot
-Losing my person this shit is so wrong
-But I know this shit just needed to stop
-How the fuck am I gon' look at my phone
Questioning how to face a personal connection over a distance
300 miles and you were my home
-I think that I love you, but I know it's not enough no
Expressing conflicting feelings about love, timing, and commitment
I know that you special, but I'm just not in a rush no
-Timing is the devil, yeah he got me locked in cuffs oh
-Not on the same level, yeah I did this shit for us so
-I gotta go
Reiterating the decision to leave and emphasizing a lack of understanding
Gotta hit the road
-You think you know
-But you don't really know shit
-I gotta go
-Gotta hit the road
-You think you know
-But you don't really know shit
-You think it's right
Repeating the theme of the unsurprising and independent outcome
I think it's wrong now
-Tears in my eyes
-Now watch them fall down
-It's no surprise
-How this gon' go down
-It's no surprise
-I'm on my own now
