Old Flame
Unveiling Love's Illusions: Rhita Nattah's Old Flame Revelations
Lyrics
Old flame
Reference to a past romantic relationship
This wasn’t your place
Indication that the setting is not where the speaker belongs
Yea old games
Reference to past deceptive actions or behaviors
I should have known from your pretty face
Regret over not recognizing deception from the person's attractive appearance
Talks made no sense
Communication was nonsensical or confusing
But I ignored waves
Ignoring warning signs or red flags
Never have learned your names nor your
Lack of knowledge about the person's identity
Silly taste, silly taste
Repetition of a "silly taste" suggests a reflection on a foolish or regrettable choice
Silly taste, silly taste
-Silly taste, silly taste
-Silly taste, silly taste
-Pretty face
Reiteration of regret over being deceived by physical appearance
You really think that i am down to play your
Doubt about the sincerity of the other person's intentions
Silly games
Characterization of past actions as trivial or foolish
You’re in my face here now more than ever
Increased presence of the person in the speaker's life
Why so afraid? And now you beg to stay
Questioning the fearfulness of the other person and their desire to stay
Here you can’t find no help
No support or assistance available in the current situation
Hardships come and go
Acknowledgment of life's challenges and difficulties
Now you just another old flame
Declaration that the person is now just a past lover
When I got you
Recalling a time when the person was in a restricted situation
You were locked in those old chains
Describing the person being freed from previous constraints
Then I threw you off the game we know the truth babe
Acknowledging a revelation about the person and the truth of the situation
I thought your soji but you still think I am your soulmate
Doubt about the sincerity of the person's feelings
Now I know your names but not my
Knowledge of the person's identity, but not the speaker's own
Silly taste, silly taste
Repetition of a "silly taste" emphasizing the regrettable nature of the past choice
Silly taste, silly taste
-But not my
-Silly taste, silly taste
-Silly taste, silly taste
-Aaah ya heeeya
Expression of frustration or realization
Ah don’t bleed nah
A plea or command not to suffer or endure pain
Aaah ya heeeya
Expressive vocalization, possibly indicating distress or realization
