SPLIFF
Love's Betrayal: A Tale of Broken Bonds in Janelle Mack's SPLIFF
Lyrics
We were tighter than this
We were once closer than this
Spliff
Reference to a rolled marijuana cigarette
I rolled
The singer rolled the spliff
Til they got inside your head
Someone influenced or affected your thoughts
Poking holes inside our bread
Metaphorical damage to the foundation of their relationship
It's
Referring to a situation or person
Parasitic how they changed your mind
Others negatively impacted your mindset like a parasite
Now Your paralyzed
You are now emotionally paralyzed
They planted seeds
They influenced you with negative intentions
That bloomed to bleed
Those influences resulted in pain and conflict
Our love
Their love is damaged
A shoulder blade
Symbolic reference to a broken support
That cut the seems
Metaphorical reference to a shattered connection
My luck
Unfortunate circumstances or bad fortune
Bad timing
Bad timing in the relationship
Right girl
Refers to the wrong person
Bad karma
Negative consequences of past actions
But you were just
Initially just a friend, but now turned into an enemy
You were just a friend of me
Reflecting on the transformation of the relationship
Now you're just my enemy
The current state of the relationship
Will always be so funny how
Expressing irony or disbelief about the situation
How it all tuned out X2
Emphasizing the unexpected outcome
Damn I wish it was easier
Expressing a desire for an easier situation
Had you up on a pedestal
Putting someone on a high pedestal
High as Eva
Being elevated and feeling great
Made me feel right as Eva uh
Feeling positive and right in that elevated state
Damn I wish it was less pain I felt
Expressing a wish for less emotional pain
When I called your name
The act of calling someone's name brings emotional pain
It was my favorite Spell
Calling the person's name was a favorite, now associated with pain
You feel like I'm the blame
Feeling blamed for the situation
Ain't that some shit to say
Expressing frustration about being blamed
I want to hide away
Desire to escape or avoid the situation
Can't look at you face to face
Unable to confront the person directly
Knowing that we're enemies
Acknowledging the current state of being enemies
Damn it's such a shame
Expressing regret or sadness about the situation
How the story changed
Reflecting on how the narrative has changed
You were just a friend of me
Recalling the past friendship that has now turned sour
Now you're just my enemy
Emphasizing the current status as enemies
Will always be so funny how
Reiterating the irony or unexpected nature of the situation
How it all tuned out X2
Repetition of the emphasis on the unexpected outcome
