Lyrics
I dumped your jacket
I separated from your influence or presence
At the back of my closet cause I
I hid your jacket in a less accessible place in my belongings
Didn't know what to wear
I was uncertain about my attire
That day after the fight
Referring to a day after a disagreement or argument
At least I thought it was
Expressing uncertainty about the nature of the conflict
We had been working
We were invested in something I believed was important
On what I thought really mattered
It turned out to be primarily about my own emotional state
It was essentially me broken
I was emotionally damaged
And eventually shattered
And eventually, completely broken
You gotta let this one go
Suggesting the need to move on from the past
Cause no man could ever replace
No one can replace the unique way I perceive things
The way I think about things
Emphasizing a distinctive thought process
You'll never get in the way
Your actions won't hinder my pursuit of dreams
To keep on living my dream
I will continue to follow my aspirations
That blood on your hands
A reference to serious consequences or guilt
Was never just a game
Implying that actions have real and lasting effects
It's karma turning on you again
Karma is catching up, bringing consequences
Looks like you're not who you were
You have changed from the person you used to be
I am so used to it now
The speaker has become accustomed to this transformation
Some people hold onto things
Some individuals hold onto grudges or negativity
Just throw a flame war
Suggesting to instigate an online conflict ("flame war")
Embers followed me home
The aftermath of the online conflict still affects the speaker
But now they keep me warm
The experience provides warmth or comfort
Cause no man could ever replace
No one can replace the unique way I perceive things
The way I think about things
Emphasizing a distinctive thought process
You'll never get in the way
Your actions won't hinder my pursuit of dreams
To keep on living my dream
I will continue to follow my aspirations
That blood on your hands
A reference to serious consequences or guilt
Was never just a game
Implying that actions have real and lasting effects
It's karma turning on you again
Karma is catching up, bringing consequences
Cause no man could ever replace
No one can replace the unique way I perceive things
The way I think about things
Emphasizing a distinctive thought process
You'll never get in the way
Your actions won't hinder my pursuit of dreams
To keep on living my dream
I will continue to follow my aspirations
That blood on your hands
A reference to serious consequences or guilt
Was never just a game, ooh
Implying that actions have real and lasting effects
No man could ever replace
No one can replace the unique way I perceive things
The way I think about things
Emphasizing a distinctive thought process
You'll never get in the way
Your actions won't hinder my pursuit of dreams
To keep on living my dream
I will continue to follow my aspirations
That blood on your hands
A reference to serious consequences or guilt
Was never just a game
Implying that actions have real and lasting effects
It's karma turning on you again
Karma is catching up, bringing consequences
No, no
Reiteration that consequences are not a mere game
