Split lip
Runaway Reflections: Jasper Dean's Split Lip Saga
Lyrics
One sec, deep breath yeah
Preparing for a moment, taking a deep breath.
Don't shake, keep waiting
Advising to stay composed and patient.
All fate, don't trip now
Emphasizing the importance of destiny and not getting upset.
And you talk and you talk
Describing someone who talks excessively.
And you talk some more
-And you talk and you talk
-And you talk some more
-Do I got what you want was it all for sure?
Questioning if the speaker possesses what the listener desires and if their actions were genuine or just for show.
Was it all for show? Just let me know
-Cause I've been running from it
Expressing a history of avoidance or escape.
Boy got a split lip
Describing a person with a split lip who failed to back up their words with actions and is now avoiding facing consequences.
Forgot to put his money where his mouth is
-Spent his days running from his problems
-And now he's too scared to get 'em out said
-Anxious? I do better by myself
Asserting that the speaker copes better alone when feeling anxious.
Anxious? I do better by myself
-Maybe I'll move along
Contemplating moving on from the current situation.
Let me know hit my line anytime you want
Inviting the listener to contact the speaker at any time.
Wasn't around last summer I was boarded up
Reflecting on the past, indicating a period of isolation or emotional withdrawal.
Try and play it all cool
-Like I'm not in love
-Hello I'm on for later
Announcing availability for later while struggling with communication.
My tongue is stuck inside my mouth
-How long have you been waiting?
-Said you're no fun
Noted as not being fun by someone.
Oh my god my fate can't move right
Expressing a feeling of being unable to control fate, with imagery related to luck, high tide, and drowning in gold.
All my luck turn quick like high tide
-Off my head don't dream bout poolsides
-You gon drown in gold in due time
-Tell me you're fine (Boy got a)
Reiteration of the theme that the person copes better alone when feeling anxious.
Tell me you're fine (Boy got a)
-Boy got a split lip
-Forgot to put his money where his mouth is
-Spent his days running from his problems
-And now he's too scared to get 'em out said
-Anxious? I do better by myself
-Anxious? I do better by myself
-Anxious? I do better by myself
-Anxious? I do better by myself
Final emphasis on the speaker's ability to handle anxiety independently.
