Lyrics
Take it from someone who knows where it's going
Advice from someone experienced in the direction life takes.
At times love can be a black hole
Love can sometimes feel consuming and overwhelming.
Watch you fall in
Witnessing someone getting deeply involved in love without caution.
I don't think that's the way to go
Expressing doubt about the chosen path or approach.
Maybe just take it slow
Suggesting a slower, more cautious approach might be better.
I've done it so i've noticed
Personal experience has led to the recognition of certain patterns.
How you suddenly lose control
Noticing the sudden loss of control in certain situations.
It's trialled and it's tested
Life experiences have been tried and tested.
And i've lost many investments so
Referring to various losses encountered, possibly in relationships or investments.
I know, what you know need
Understanding what someone needs.
And I was that girl
Relating to a past version of oneself.
She is me
Confirming the connection between the singer and the referenced girl from the past.
And I know you've heard this before
Acknowledging that the listener might have heard similar advice previously.
Love is a battle so get ready for war
Love is described as a challenging experience requiring preparation.
You are my younger self
Identifying the listener as a younger version of the singer.
I am ahead of time
Asserting a greater understanding due to being ahead in time or experience.
When I feel you crying for help
Offering reassurance when the listener is in distress.
It'll be alright
Encouraging recognition of warning signs in relationships.
You see red flags, they're a warning that it's not meant to be
Emphasizing the importance of setting personal boundaries and trusting instincts, though success is not guaranteed.
Set your boundaries, trust your instincts but that's still not a guarantee
Similar to line 9, suggesting lessons learned through trials and losses.
Oh it's trialled and it's tested and i've lost many investments so
Reflecting on past experiences of loss and lessons.
I know, what you know need
Understanding what someone requires.
And I was that girl
Relating to a past version of oneself, emphasizing a connection.
She is me
Confirming the link between the singer and the girl from the past.
And I know you've heard this before
Acknowledging previous exposure to similar advice.
Love is a battle so get ready for war
Reiterating the challenging nature of love, requiring readiness.
Are you ready... Ooo
Questioning if the listener is prepared for what's to come.
Are you ready Ooo
Repetition of the inquiry about readiness.
Are you ready
Asking if the listener is truly prepared.
I know you've heard this before
Reinforcing the idea that love involves struggles and requires preparation.
Love is a battle so get ready for war
Reiterating the concept of love as a challenging battle needing preparation.
