Lyrics
And next up to the mic
Introduction of the artist to the microphone.
Kreir
Artist identifies as Kreir.
Oh, hey
Casual greeting.
And I get these
Expressing struggles with intrusive thoughts that affect the speaker negatively.
Oh I get these
-Intrusive thoughts they always get the best of me
-And I lose control
Admission of losing control.
Oh, Ohh
-You got a hold
Acknowledging someone's hold on the speaker.
I said you got your hold on me
-There's nothing that I can do
Struggling to break free from a spell or influence.
To break your spell I tried
-And I been tryna find a way to fix myself up for you cause I been fucking up
Admitting mistakes and attempting self-improvement for someone special.
Heels above my head I'm falling for you hit me harder girl you like a sucker punch
Falling deeply for someone, described with vivid imagery.
Shackles to my feet and I'm beneath the water drowning for you baby tell me sum
Feeling bound and immersed in emotions for the person.
Why we fighting?
Pondering reasons for conflicts in the relationship.
I'll admit I'm wrong and try a little harder you my number one
Willingness to admit fault and strive for improvement.
Ooo but I know
Recognition of forgetting self-care and prioritizing the other person.
I forgot how to put myself first
Expressing difficulty in putting oneself first despite efforts.
I try and try but why oh why?
-Can't I
Questioning the ability to bear the weight of responsibilities.
Carry the weight of the world on my shoulders?
-And I know
Acknowledging a change in feelings and accepting the situation.
Ooh I know
-That things don't feel the same (they don't)
-It's okay
-Moving on
Embracing moving on as a recurring theme in the speaker's life.
At this point that is my middle name
-I leave you alone but I'm missing you more
Conflicting emotions of loneliness when apart and stress relief upon reunion.
I turn off my phone then I'm back at your door
-I know when you leave me it make me depressed
-But when you come back I forget all my stress
-And you
Reiteration of the hold the person has on the speaker.
Said you got your hold on me
-There's nothing that I can do
-To break your spell I try
-I can't get a grip when I'm tryna change
Struggling with personal change, using metaphorical language.
Burning in the fire, dancing in the rain
-Up into the night, sleep into the day
-It start within myself, please don't try to save
-Sorry for the way I am, but you know that I never was a saint
Apologizing for past behavior and expressing a genuine desire to change.
Picking up all the pieces, better believe it
-Know that I mean it when I say that I'm gonna change
-And maybe I'll convince myself
Reflecting on self-deception and surprises in the face of challenges.
After all I always do it well
-But why am I surprised when I put my fate into a wishing well
-I wish you well
Expressing good wishes for the other person despite moving on.
But now I'm moving on
Celebrating freedom from problems associated with the person.
Finally free of all the problems
-You bought me (alcohol)
Reference to the person providing alcohol, possibly as a negative influence.
But still
Continued acknowledgment of the hold and attempts to break free.
You got your hold on me
-There's nothing that I can do
-To break your spell I tried
-And you got a hold on me
Repetition of the idea that the person has a strong hold on the speaker.
You got your hold on me
-Damn!
An exclamation, possibly indicating frustration or realization.
I gave you
Recalling giving to the person but receiving hurt in return.
I gave it to you
-But you gave me hurt instead
-You hurt me baby
-Thank you very much
An expression of gratitude despite the pain.
