Lyrics
Dead
Introduction to the theme of emotional numbness and detachment.
We so dead, we do dead, we so dead
Repetition emphasizing emotional deadness and a sense of hopelessness.
Black, finger nails are cracked
Symbolic description of being in a dark, troubled state.
Burry in the past 'cause I'm too proud to crack
Choosing to bury past issues instead of facing them due to pride.
Facts, there's no coming back
Acknowledging the irreversibility of certain actions.
Never seen a funeral before twenty-five
Expressing a lack of experience with funerals before a certain age.
You ain't, you ain't with me
Emphasizing emotional distance and disconnection from someone.
You ain't, you ain't with me
-I don't wanna learn to have to live without you
Expressing reluctance to cope with life without a significant other and acknowledging hurtful actions.
I know how you're feelin'
-Know I hurt your feelings
-Let it bleed, nothing left we can do
-Dead, the love is dead
Declaring the end of love, encouraging self-focus, and suggesting acceptance of the situation.
Want you to worry 'bout you
-And I'm gone worry 'bout me
-Dead, the love is dead
-No use in losing more sleep
-Let's leave it resting in peace
-Black, all I wear is black, yeah
Describing a preference for dark clothing and nails to match the mood, with a hint of deception.
Paint my nails to match so I can sit in my mood
-I, I'm not gonna lie
-Easier to act as if a nigga never knew ya, ooh yeah
-You ain't, you ain't with me
Continuing the theme of emotional distance and suggesting the possibility of someone else caring.
You ain't, you ain't with me
-Maybe someone else will want to care about you
-I know how you're feelin'
-Know I hurt your feelings
-Let it bleed, nothing left we can do
-Dead, the love is dead

Want you to worry 'bout you
