What Not to Do
Lessons in Heartache: Ryn Nicole's 'What Not to Do' Reveals the Painful Dance of Love
Lyrics
Been waiting longer than a bathroom line at a festival
Expressing impatience, emphasizing a prolonged wait akin to a festival bathroom line.
But these old stitches always reopen at the worst time
Referring to emotional wounds resurfacing at inconvenient times, suggesting unresolved issues.
I'm no doctor, I can't fix the three dimensional
Acknowledging a lack of expertise to fix complex emotional situations.
So these scars will always remind me of the first time
Scars serve as reminders of past experiences, particularly the initial encounter.
That I went dancing with my thoughts
Engaging in introspection, dancing metaphorically with one's thoughts.
And you gave me a grand applause
Receiving acknowledgment or validation for inner struggles or achievements.
And I was beside myself
Experiencing detachment or a sense of being out of one's usual state.
I learned how to hide myself so well
Learning to conceal one's true self adeptly, possibly as a coping mechanism.
Oh, the thing about you is
Introducing a key observation about someone else.
You taught me what not to do
Acknowledging the valuable lesson learned from the person mentioned in line 11.
Like how to risk it all and lose
Learning not to take excessive risks that may lead to losing something important.
How much of a heart can bruise
Reflecting on the emotional toll of risking too much and experiencing heartbreak.
You showed me that
Recognizing the valuable insight gained from the mentioned experience.
Oh, the thing about me is
Shifting focus to self-awareness and personal desires.
I wanted you desperately
Expressing a strong yearning or longing for the person mentioned in line 11.
I guess it was a lesson learned

You taught me what not to do

Still in recovery but non-medical
Describing a state of ongoing recovery without relying on medical intervention.
Cause I call bull before the stage sees the matador
Asserting skepticism or doubt before facing a challenging situation.
And I can't help it if I'm selfish with my trust now
Being cautious and protective of trust, possibly due to past experiences.
Because I gave you every drop of it before
Referring to a previous complete investment of trust in someone.
When I went dancing with my thoughts
Revisiting introspection and the acknowledgment received for inner struggles.
And you gave me a grand applause
Receiving external validation or applause for inner battles.
And I was beside myself
Experiencing detachment or a sense of being out of one's usual state, echoing line 8.
