Lyrics
I'm unlearning all the motions I was going through for you
I am letting go of all the habits and actions I used to go through for you.
I'm discerning fact from notion did you need to put me through it?
I am distinguishing between reality and mere ideas; did you have to subject me to it?
Tryna shatter crystal ceiling, filter poison from the pool
Attempting to break through barriers, cleanse negativity from the environment.
Tryna separate the hurt of it cause hurting ain't the truth
Trying to differentiate the pain caused by it because pain isn't the ultimate truth.
I'm unlearning
Emphasizing the process of unlearning.
Only appreciating orange juice to chase coconut rum
Choosing to appreciate only simple pleasures like orange juice with coconut rum.
I'm unlearning your love language, boy I miss my mother tongue
Rejecting or forgetting the love language previously learned, longing for the familiarity of one's native language.
Only burning up the greenery so we don't have to talk
Burning marijuana to avoid communication.
Only switching up the scenery when I say Imma walk
Changing the environment as a way of expressing independence.
I'm unlearning
Reiterating the ongoing process of unlearning.
Never giving me a reason but I seen it through the seasons
Being given no justification, but recognizing the truth over time.
Only taking on my body as a currency for meaning
Using one's body as a form of exchange for significance.
Couldn't give you what you wanted, I'm to blame for this
Acknowledging personal responsibility for not fulfilling desires.
I've been giving the illusion I'm not losin' it
Pretending not to be affected, presenting a false image.
I been the illusion I'm not losin' it
Reiterating the false impression of not losing control.
I'm unlearning all the motions I was going through for you
Returning to the theme of abandoning old habits for someone.
I'm discerning fact from notion did you need to put me through it?
Revisiting the distinction between reality and ideas, questioning the necessity of enduring it.
Tryna shatter crystal ceiling, filter poison from the pool
Persisting in breaking barriers, removing toxicity from surroundings.
When I met you wish I'd known to say I love you to my youth
Expressing a wish to have known how to express love earlier in the relationship.
Red in the clouds and blue on the water
Describing a vivid scene with contrasting colors in the sky and water.
Left home behind just to see what it offer
Leaving one's home to explore and discover what life has to offer.
“Side you in bed but it felt like I lost you
Feeling emotionally distant while physically close in bed.
Stay out the way, keep you on my mind often
Making an effort to stay out of the way but keeping the person in thoughts regularly.
cnd you on my mind often
Repeating the idea of frequently thinking about the person.
Don't think you ever lost it
Believing that the connection hasn't been lost, despite physical distance.
But I'm moving from Boston
Deciding to move away from the current situation, possibly leaving Boston.
cnd you ain't in the boxes
Not fitting into predefined categories or expectations.
I'm unlearning
Concluding with a repetition of the theme of unlearning.
