Lyrics
you told me you been feeling oddly
Feeling oddly; expressing a sense of unease or discomfort.
told me you been hearing some sleeptalking lately
Noticing sleeptalking; being aware of subconscious expressions during sleep.
well i can’t really help what haunts me
Unable to control haunting thoughts or memories; feeling haunted by certain experiences.
so i guess i ought to be more careful what i say
Acknowledging the need for caution in speech to avoid unintended consequences.
it’s all hyperbole yeah
Describing everything as hyperbole; emphasizing that words used are exaggerated and not to be taken literally.
these words don’t define me
Rejecting the idea that words define one's identity.
Reiterating that words do not define the person.
told me you been feeling fondly
Feeling affectionate or emotionally attached.
about sleeping on the spare room air mattress all day
Enjoying the comfort of sleeping in a spare room with an air mattress throughout the day.
the breeze was a bit too balmy
Finding the room temperature uncomfortably warm or oppressive.
as you dreamt of a motel outside of LA
Dreaming of a motel outside of Los Angeles.
some hip hop blared downstairs
Background noise of hip hop music downstairs.
and rustled you awake
Being awakened by the noise but not fully.
but the beat was a bit too calming
Finding the rhythm of the music calming and conducive to falling back asleep.
so you drifted off and far away again and again
Drifting off into a dream state repeatedly.
you don’t take lightly what i said to you that night
Acknowledging the seriousness of something said during a previous night.
i don’t remember what it was but i
Unable to recall the exact words spoken but acknowledging their weight.
i don’t take lightly
Emphasizing the gravity or importance of a situation or conversation.
i like you lately
Expressing a recent positive opinion or feeling towards someone.
it’s all hyperbole yeah
Reiterating that words are exaggerated and do not define the person.
these words don’t define me
Emphasizing again that personal identity is not determined by spoken words.
no
Reaffirming the rejection of literal interpretation of words.
these high notes
Acknowledging the difficulty of reaching high notes; possibly a metaphor for challenges or struggles.
they aren’t easy
Stating that achieving high notes in life or relationships is not easy.
no
Reiterating the difficulty of handling high notes or challenges.
