we aren't the same
Unveiling Emotions: Gun Boi Kaz's 'We Aren't the Same' Narrative
Lyrics
Leave your goodbye at the tone
Expressing a desire for the person to leave a farewell message on the phone.
Cus I'm doing fine on my own
Claiming independence and contentment in being alone.
And I never liked letting go
Expressing reluctance to let go of something or someone.
But you're so typical and you're making it easy
Describing the other person as predictable and making the separation easy.
Cus you, you're taking a toll on me
Feeling the emotional toll caused by the other person's actions.
I'm breaking your picture frame
Physically breaking a picture frame, symbolizing a symbolic end to a shared past.
And washing your lipstick stains a-a-away
Cleaning away reminders of the other person, specifically lipstick stains, to move on.
Go head and forget my name
Encouraging the other person to forget the speaker's name.
And stay in your god damn lane
Asserting the need for the other person to stay out of the speaker's life.
Cus we aren't the same
Declaring a fundamental difference between the speaker and the other person.
Burnt all the polaroids
Destroying memories by burning photographs.
And blocked your call cus I hate the noise
Blocking communication due to dislike for the disturbance caused by the other person.
And I had hopes that you destroyed
Expressing disappointment in the destructive nature of the other person.
Cus you just love to disappoint
Highlighting a pattern of the other person's tendency to disappoint.
Drove past the street where I met you
Revisiting the location where the speaker met the other person.
And I wish I saw all the signs
Regretting not recognizing signs in the past.
I hope you're not alright
Expressing a lack of concern for the well-being of the other person.
Cus you, you're losing your hold on me
Noting the diminishing emotional influence of the other person on the speaker.
I'm breaking your picture frame
Continuing the symbolic act of breaking a picture frame and cleansing from the past.
And washing your lipstick stains a-a-away
Reiterating the process of removing traces of the other person from the speaker's life.
Go head and forget my name
Encouraging the other person to forget the speaker's name again.
And stay in your god damn lane
Reiterating the need for the other person to stay away.
Cus we aren't the same
Emphasizing the fundamental difference between the speaker and the other person.
Solo, just me and myself
Going solo and enjoying one's company without the other person.
And all the photos of somebody else
Surrounded by photos of someone else, emphasizing the move forward.
Someone I don't know, at least not very well
Acknowledging a lack of familiarity with the new phase of life without the other person.
But oh well
Indifferent acceptance of the current situation.
I'm breaking your picture frame
Repeating the symbolic act of breaking a picture frame and cleansing from the past.
And washing your lipstick stains a-a-away
Reiterating the process of removing traces of the other person from the speaker's life.
Go head and forget my name
Encouraging the other person to forget the speaker's name once more.
And stay in your god damn lane
Reiterating the need for the other person to stay away.
Cus we aren't the same as we used to be
Affirming the significant change in the relationship, asserting they are no longer the same.
No more, no more
Declaring an end to what was, indicating a departure from the past.
Girl there's nothing left for you and me
Asserting there is nothing left for the relationship to continue.
I'm sure, I'm sure
Expressing certainty in the decision to move on from the relationship.
And if you're wondering i'm perfectly okay
Stating the speaker's emotional well-being after the separation.
So stay in your god damn lane
Reiterating the need for the other person to stay away.
Cus we aren't the same
Emphasizing the irreversibility of the change in the relationship.
