MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE
Wishes and Regrets: Unveiling the Depths of 'Message in a Bottle'
Lyrics
A message in a bottle, I'm talking bout a wish upon a start
A message in a bottle, referring to a wish upon a star
All I'd even ask for is that I would've seen it from the start
Desire to have seen things differently from the beginning
Avoid the pain
Advise to avoid emotional pain
All the lust, all of everything you'd take
Mention of taking all aspects, including lust
All the lies, all the envy, all the hate
Reference to lies, envy, and hate to be avoided
Avoid the soul that you almost took away
Caution against losing one's soul
All the love that I gave you threw away
Regret for the love given but discarded
I see it now
Realization of the situation
What they talkin bout', how you gun me down (mmm)
Questioning others talking about being targeted
And when I need you how
Expressing need and disappointment in unresponsive moments
You can't pick up now, can't help but let me down
Recognition of consistent letdowns
Well lemme make a promise to you, baby I won't let you live in me no more
Promising not to let the person affect them anymore
And I just took a half of the truth with a little bit of juice just to down that hoe
Describing consumption of truth with some intoxication
I'm sorry rides now closed
Apology and closure, suggesting the end of a ride
Suggesting y'all head home
Encouraging others to leave as well
I said the gates now closed
Indicating closure of a gate, signifying a limitation or end
For now there's no where to go (oh oh oh)
Expressing a temporary lack of direction or options
I tried to get used to being alone (used to being alone)
Attempting to adapt to solitude
A message in a bottle, I'm talking bout a wish upon a start
Reiteration of the wish in a message, possibly emphasizing its importance
All I'd even ask for is that I would've seen it from the start
Repeating the desire to have seen things differently
Avoid the pain
Reiteration of advice to avoid pain
All the lust, all of everything you'd take
Repeating the idea of taking everything, including lust
All the lies, all the envy, all the hate
Reiteration of avoiding lies, envy, and hate
Avoid the soul that you almost took away
Repetition of the warning against losing one's soul
All the love that I gave you threw away
Repeating the regret for discarded love
Avoid the pain
Reiteration of advice to avoid pain
All the lust, all of everything you'd take
Repeating the idea of taking all aspects, including lust
All the lies, all the envy, all the hate
Reiteration of avoiding lies, envy, and hate
Avoid the soul that you almost took away
Repetition of the warning against losing one's soul
All the love that I gave you threw away
Repeating the regret for discarded love
