Lost in Love's Maze: Samara Cyn's Reflection on Pride and Heartache
Lyrics
Where is my mind
Expressing confusion or disorientation in the current mental state.
I don't think I've been here before
Acknowledging unfamiliarity with the current situation.
Look at the time; I should've left here hours ago
Realizing the passage of time and the lateness of the current moment.
I saw the signs; I didn't know that loving you would be so hard
Reflecting on unforeseen challenges in a romantic relationship.
You're just like me; reflection shining bright in our two-edged sword
Comparing oneself to the partner, emphasizing similarities and shared struggles.

-I took a sip and felt the warmth of coffee mug
Describing a moment of introspection fueled by coffee, waiting for approval, and acknowledging addiction to it.
A long night pondering so I had called you up
-I said I'm waiting here for you to show me something
-Addicted to your approval; my choice of drug
-It take me higher than your hugs
Expressing the emotional impact of approval, feeling closer and elevated by it.
Makes me feel closer than your hugs, baby
-I've heard of purity; I've felt it in the sun
Referencing purity, associating love with an intense and overwhelming experience.
Love is in the air and it's burning up my lungs, baby (uh)
-See, how you lose something you ain't never had?
Pondering the concept of losing something one never possessed.
Steez Queen. That's why it came as a surprise you ain't want be with me
Acknowledging surprise at the rejection and referencing a "Steez Queen."
Ego lead perception; you can leave blame on the vanity
Highlighting the role of ego, vanity, and pride in a failed relationship.
Blind faith in your pride and you throw shade like a canopy
-The biggest L was losing me
Considering the breakup as a significant loss for the partner.
The higher ups be choosing me
Asserting personal success and focus despite external distractions.
Too focused on a bag to get technical in calamities
-I been doing great and my momma still stay in Tennessee
Indicating personal achievement while expressing concern for a mother in Tennessee.
You still ain't shit and need to work on your delivery
Criticizing the partner's character and suggesting the need for improvement.
I miss ya
Expressing a sense of longing or missing the partner.
I don't know why I diss ya
Confusion and offense at the partner's change in behavior and distance.
I guess I'm offended that you switched up to acting distant
-In love with the idea of you than what was in my vision
Being infatuated with an idealized version of the partner, conflicting with reality.
I been heating up and you too cool to be in kitchens
Highlighting personal growth and contrasting it with the partner's stagnation.
I get it
Understanding and accepting the situation.
