Shoot Me Down
Love's Battlefield: Dodging Words, Embracing Risks
Lyrics
Don't you want me girl
Expressing a desire for connection or attention from the girl.
Can't tell when you hide your face
Unable to discern her emotions or intentions because she conceals her emotions.
Mm
An interjection expressing contemplation or hesitation.
Texting me things that
Receiving messages containing content contrary to her known behavior.
I know you would never say
Aware that the messages received do not align with her usual behavior but choosing to be cautious about their meaning.
But imma take that with a grain of salt
Accepting the messages cautiously, not entirely dismissing them but maintaining skepticism.
Still keep you close
Despite suspicions, maintaining proximity or closeness.
You're used to playing games
She's accustomed to playing manipulative or deceptive games.
I'm your token
He feels like he's merely an object or token in her games.
In an instant
He quickly became a target of her manipulative actions.
I got hit by all
He got affected by her deceptive or harmful actions directed at him.
These strays of yours
Feeling the impact of her hurtful behaviors.
I shoulda looked both ways before crossing
Regretting not being cautious before getting involved.
Shoot Me down
Expressing a desire to be stopped or brought down by her actions.
Baby I didn't know
Unaware of her intentions to hurt him.
You were gunning for me
Realizing that she had ill intentions towards him.
Still I race to answer your calls yea
Despite the danger, he rushes to respond to her calls.
Shoot me down
Unaware of her plans to harm him.
Baby I didn't know
Realizing she was aiming to hurt him.
You were coming for me
Reflecting on potential mistakes leading to her harmful intentions.
And I wonder what I did wrong
Questioning his actions that might have provoked her negative behavior.
Shoot me shoot me shoot me
Repetition emphasizing the desire to be brought down by her actions.
Shoot me down shoot me down
-Shoot me shoot me shoot me
-Shoot me
-Shoot me shoot me shoot me
-Shoot me down shoot me down
-Shoot me shoot me shoot me
-Shoot me
-Tracing my outline
Visualizing the aftermath of her actions on the bedroom floor.
Right here on this bedroom floor
Emphasizing the location where he felt the impact of her harmful actions.
Yea yea yea
Repetition for emphasis.
Here's the scene of the crime
Describing the place where he was harmed by her words.
You shot me with your words of war
Comparing her words to ammunition causing harm.
Still imma take that as a sign
Interpreting her actions as a signal or indication.
Cool cat
Referring to himself as resilient or having multiple chances.
Got nine lives
Metaphorically equating himself to a cat with multiple lives.
Maybe if I give it time
Considering the idea of giving the situation time.
Give it patience
Urging himself to remain calm and composed.
But I know that its a little risky
Acknowledging the risk involved in the situation.
Yea it's just one of those games where
Recognizing that this situation is one of those where caution should have been exercised.
I shoulda looked both ways before playing
Realizing the need for caution in participating in her games.
Shoot Me down
Reiterating the desire to be brought down by her actions, emphasizing the impact.
Baby I didn't know
-You were gunning for me
-Still I race to answer your calls yea
-Shoot me down
-Baby I didn't know
-You were coming for me
-And I wonder what I did wrong
-Shoot Me down
-Baby I didn't know
-You were gunning for me
-Still I race to answer your calls yea
-Shoot me down
-Baby I didn't know
-You were coming for me
-Shoot me shoot me shoot me
-Shoot me down shoot me down
-Shoot me shoot me shoot me
-Shoot me
-Shoot me shoot me shoot me
-Shoot me down shoot me down
-Shoot me shoot me shoot me
-Shoot me
Repetition of the desire to be stopped or impacted by her actions.
