Lyrics

I don't wanna make new friends, no

I prefer not to form new friendships.

Don't need no more when, everybody keeps falling, out

I don't want more people around, as relationships tend to break.

It don't matter who your friends know

Your social connections don't matter to me.

They keep name-dropping and I'm tryna block it, out

People keep mentioning names, and I'm trying to ignore it.


Just stop

A command to stop or pause.

I got a feeling if these walls

Implies that if the walls could talk, they would express discontent.

Could talk, they'd be saying

Speculation on what the walls might say in a conversation.

"I don't mean to interrupt

Quoting potential words of the walls.

We both know this party sucks"

Indication that the party is not enjoyable for both.

Don't let me rain on your parade

Request not to spoil the other person's enjoyment.


I'm sorry I can't make it out

Apology for not participating in the event.

Everyone's so high it brings me down

Observation that the atmosphere is negatively affected by substance use.

I'm sure you'll hit me up the next time you're in town

Expectation of being contacted during future visits.

I'll give you my attention if you give it right back to me

Willingness to engage only if attention is reciprocated.


(You can have my attention

Repetition emphasizing the conditional offer of attention.

You can have my attention

-

You can have my attention)

-

If you give it right back to me

-

(You can have my attention

-

You can have my attention

-

You can have my attention)

-

I don't know where I fit in, so disconnected

Feeling of not fitting in and being disconnected.

I don't wanna keep zoning, out

Desire to avoid zoning out or being mentally absent.

So many problems that nobody's solving

Recognition of unsolved problems in the social environment.

A social circle revolving, around itself

Description of a social circle focused on itself.

(I just wish it could)

Expressing a wish for something to stop (ambiguous).


Stop

A repetition of the command to stop.

It's been a minute since I said

It has been a while since expressing thoughts openly.

What I was thinking

Continuation of the previous thought.

I don't mean to interrupt

Reiteration that the party is not enjoyable for both.

We both know this party sucks

Similar to line 10, asking not to spoil the enjoyment.

Don't let me rain on your parade

Request not to dampen the other person's mood.


I'm sorry I can't make it out

Apology for being unable to attend the event.

Everyone's so high it brings me down

Observation of a negative impact due to substance use.

I'm sure you'll hit me up the next time you're in town

Expectation of future contact during visits.

I'll give you my attention if you give it right back to me

Willingness to engage if attention is reciprocated.


(You can have my attention

Repetition emphasizing the conditional offer of attention.

You can have my attention

-

You can have my attention)

-

If you give it right back to me

-

(You can have my attention

-

You can have my attention

-

You can have my attention)

-

So many problems that nobody's solving

Repetition highlighting the persistent unsolved problems in the social circle.

A social circle that keeps on revolving

-

So many problems that nobody's solving

-

A social circle revolving, around itself

-

I'm sorry I can't make it out
