IN CASE I DON'T SEE YOU
Navigating Love in a Digital Era: Ego, Choices, and Unseen Battles
Lyrics
& Sometimes I feel false masculinity is ego manifested
Sometimes, I feel that projecting a false sense of masculinity is an expression of ego.
The world we live in just protect it
The world we live in encourages the protection of this false masculinity.
Talking to this girl, never met but we stay texting
Talking to a girl through texting, even though they've never met in person.
Dating in 2017 means added pressure
Dating in 2017 comes with added pressure and challenges.
Never overstep it, never put my foot in, I'm too good at second guessing
Avoiding overstepping boundaries, being adept at second-guessing.
Might've sent a nude, she sent one too - first impressions
Both parties have exchanged intimate photos, shaping their initial impressions.
& she got her roster, so she hold leverage
The girl has multiple options, giving her a position of power.
Me? I'm just an option, so she knows better
The narrator sees himself as just one of the options, recognizing the girl's discernment.
Stuck in the city my phone won't hold a charge
Being stuck in the city with a phone that won't hold a charge.
At first I hit my dogs but got no response
Contacting friends for support but receiving no response.
Called an ex fling & she told me off
Calling an ex-fling who dismisses him.
So I called her on a whim, she said no prob
Calling another person impulsively, receiving a positive response.
So I caught an Uber to scoop me, I wrote her buzz number on my palm
Using Uber to meet the person, writing her contact details on his hand.
The illusion of grandeur had me channeling my charm
The narrator, influenced by an inflated sense of importance, relies on charm.
Going off our convo she ain't with the small talk
The girl is not interested in small talk based on their conversation.
Still wonder who she is when she log off
The narrator is curious about the girl's true identity when she logs off.
Can't nobody see you in the dark
Highlighting the invisibility in the dark, suggesting secrecy or hidden aspects.
There's a war outside, we should call it off

She said I know your kind, she's sort of right I guess
The girl claims to understand the narrator's nature to some extent.
Things to leave behind, I need some time, oh yes
Expressing a need for time and a willingness to leave certain things behind.
So then we took the scenic route & she decided out west
Choosing a scenic route, possibly metaphorical, and deciding to head west.
Then she put her knees around me
The intimacy increases as she wraps her knees around the narrator.
Told me take it easy darling, you can leave just now
She advises the narrator to take it easy and suggests the possibility of leaving soon.
Can't nobody see you in the dark
Reiteration of the idea that one is unseen in the dark.
There's a war outside, we should call it off
A repetition of the desire to call off a war outside.
