Pain
Journey Through Heartbreak: King Jefe's Poetic Reflections on Love and Pain
Lyrics
Hey Heyyy
Greeting or expression of attention
King
Referring to the artist as "King"
Wasted time, broken promises
Reflection on wasted time and broken promises
Dreamed of love but I never had the shit
Expressing dreams of love but never experiencing it
You know loving ain't the same
Noting that love is not consistent or unchanged
Everybody play these games
Observation that people engage in games in relationships
I don't wana feel this pain
Expressing a desire to avoid feeling pain
So I'm leaving
Decision to leave the situation causing pain
I'm not coming back
Commitment not to return
Cuz When you had me you ain't know how to act
Reflecting on past behavior when the person didn't appreciate the relationship
So we can leave it at that
Choosing to end the discussion there
Guess that's your definition of loyalty
Perceived lack of loyalty in the relationship
That's something that we look at differently
Differences in understanding loyalty
How do you picture me
Questioning how the person views the speaker
You Want me to smile, you want me to laugh?
Addressing expectations of happiness
When I'm mad and I put on a mask?
Mentioning masking emotions when upset
I mean, what you expect from me?
Asking about expectations from the speaker
tryna do this respectfully
Intent to handle the situation respectfully
They say that life is a race
Metaphorically referring to life as a race
Double down and I keep up the pace
Determination to maintain a fast pace
Just keeping the faith.
Expression of faith and hope
I do my best to be calm
Commitment to staying calm
I do my best to be chill
Commitment to being chill (calm and relaxed)
Know if I close my palms
Trusting in a higher power
And I trust in his will
Acknowledging aggression and lack of acceptance
I am aware, it's aggressive I am not here for acceptance I don't know what you expected
Apology for any harm caused
sorry to whom I've affected
Recognition of unresolved issues
I got some things in my life
Acknowledgment of personal challenges
I know I should let 'em go
Acknowledging the need to let go of certain things
Let me write em down
Expressing the intention to reflect on personal issues
Let me take a mental note
Taking note of personal challenges mentally
I put it all in this microphone
Using music as a therapeutic outlet
Till my pain is gone
Continuing to express pain through music
Ouuuuu
Exclamation expressing emotion
But what you expect when you walk into my therapy session
Describing the music as a therapeutic session
I speak facts that's the key to the lesson
Emphasizing truth as a key to learning
It's only progression
Highlighting the continuous process of improvement
Till death that's the life that I'm livin
Commitment to living a certain lifestyle until death
Enduring all the pain I been feeling
Endurance of emotional pain
Striving to succeed doing all that I'm willing
Determination to succeed within personal limits
Always staying grindful I'll make a killing
Maintaining a positive and focused mindset
Til then
Expressing a commitment to hard work until success
Gotta stay on my grind and one day I promise I'm gonna shine
Continuing to work hard with a promise of future success
Where does love come from? Where does it go when its gone? What takes its place? and why does that space turn as cold and hard as stone? Love and pain
Philosophical reflection on love and pain
