Smoke
Love's Complexity: Embracing Strength in the Smoke
Lyrics
Sometimes you show me you appreciate
Sometimes, you express appreciation towards me
Me lesser than you think you do
You value me less than you believe you do
Think you do
Reiteration of the perception that the other person values the speaker less
Absolute banger of a person but I hate
You are an amazing person, but I harbor hatred towards you
You while I love you too
Despite my hatred, I also love you
I love you too
Reiteration of the conflicted emotions of both love and hate towards the person
Run so much my love
The speaker runs away from love
Please slow it down
A plea to slow down the intensity of love
Look me in my eyes
Asking the person to look into the speaker's eyes
And show me that you lie
Challenging the other person to reveal their dishonesty
Right next to me
The other person is physically close, possibly in a relationship
Baby
An affectionate term used for the person
Stay or you go
A decision point, urging the person to stay or leave
You can come with the smoke babe
Inviting the person to confront challenges together ("come with the smoke")
I’m not your weakness
Asserting that the speaker is not a vulnerability for the person
I am your strength
Claiming to be a source of strength for the person
Stay or you go
Similar to line 14, presenting the choice again
You can come with the smoke babe
Repeating the invitation to face challenges together
I’m not your weakness
Emphasizing that the speaker is not a weakness for the person
I am your strength
Reiterating the claim of being a source of strength
Sometimes I show you all my anger
At times, the speaker expresses anger to the person
When I know it ain’t the best to say
Acknowledging that expressing anger may not be the best approach
The best to say
Reiteration that expressing anger is not the optimal choice
But my love we figure it out anyway
Despite disagreements, the speaker and the person find resolutions
Cause you can truly empathize
The person can truly understand and share the speaker's perspective
See my way
Encouraging the person to see things from the speaker's point of view
Run so much my love
Similar to line 7, the speaker runs away from love
Please slow it down
Repeating the plea to slow down the intensity of love
Look me in my eyes
Reiterating the request for eye contact and honesty
And show me that you lie
Repeating the challenge to reveal any deception
Right next to me
Reiteration of physical closeness with the person
Baby
Endearing term used for the person
Stay or you go
Reiteration of the decision point, stay or leave
You can come with the smoke babe
Repeating the invitation to face challenges together
I’m not your weakness
Emphasizing that the speaker is not a weakness for the person
I am your strength
Reiterating the claim of being a source of strength
Stay or you go
Similar to line 38, presenting the choice again
You can come with the smoke babe
Repeating the invitation to face challenges together
I’m not your weakness
Emphasizing that the speaker is not a weakness for the person
I am your strength
Reiterating the claim of being a source of strength
