Lyrics

Shouting fuck you at the rave

Expressing frustration by shouting profanity at a party or event

But words don't taste the same

Words lack the same impact or significance

Gum stale in my mouth

Gum losing its flavor, possibly reflecting a dull or uninteresting situation

Voice stained in my brain

The impact of someone's voice lingering in the speaker's mind

Can't get you to change

Difficulty in influencing someone to change

Cos your smile pissed me off

Feeling annoyed by someone's smile

Wide eyes ain't enough

Wide eyes (expression) not being sufficient or convincing

Lied straight through your lips

Accusation of lying directly from the person's lips

The most bitter kiss

Describing a kiss as bitter, possibly indicating a negative experience

Entertained the game once but curtains up so it's done

Ending a game or relationship with the curtains closing

But when I cut I feel finished moments diminished time cannot stop us

Feeling completion and time not being a hindrance after self-harm

Back to yard because life's not as hard if you find the heart you need to push through

Returning to one's roots as life becomes easier with determination

Growing pains seem strange these days they don't go away I don't want them to

Accepting and embracing challenges and growth

Cos if I'm lost in this world don't come look for me cos I'm hiding from the truth.

Choosing to hide from the truth when lost in the world

I don't miss you

Not missing someone

Just as long as you're missing me

Indifference to someone's absence unless they miss the speaker

And I'm not with you

Not physically present with someone

Except for when we kissed last week

Exception when recalling a recent kiss

Long taxi drive

Reflecting on a long taxi ride and the fading enthusiasm for a plan

I'm in the backseat thinking how the motive dies

Contemplating the decline of motivation in the backseat

Round the backstreets riding out to ocean eyes

Navigating through challenges, possibly symbolized by backstreets

Open eyes or closed it don't matter you stay on my mind

Constantly thinking about someone regardless of the circumstances

It's taxing for me

Expressing emotional toll or difficulty

I suppose that you're thinking that's an actor for me

Anticipating skepticism as an actor in one's life

In my feels in my room I've been frankly ok

Facing emotions in solitude and being okay with it

To be frank thinking bout you's been my only escape

Thinking about someone as a means of escape

I don't miss you

Reiteration of not missing someone

Just as long as you're missing me

Indifference to the absence as long as the other person misses

And I'm not with you

Not physically present with someone

Except for when we kissed last week

Exception when recalling a recent kiss

I smashed my phone the other night

Expressing frustration by smashing a phone

Waiting for your call just so I could hit decline

Waiting for a call only to reject it, showcasing control

Still haven't cried for it all I'm not stressed

Not experiencing stress or sadness despite the situation

Simple now cos I don't got nobody to impress

Simplicity in life without the need to impress anyone

I haven't felt home in a while

Feeling disconnected from the concept of home

Kinda lost my spark you can see it in my smile

Losing enthusiasm and joy, evident in the speaker's smile

Old voicemails keep me up through the week

Old voicemails serving as a reminder, possibly affecting the speaker emotionally

Listen to my own songs just to help me sleep

Listening to one's own songs for solace and sleep

I don't miss you

Reiteration of not missing someone

Just as long as you're missing me

Indifference to the absence as long as the other person misses

And I'm not with you

Not physically present with someone

Except for when we kissed last week

Exception when recalling a recent kiss

Take me back to late last week, yeah

Desire to return to a specific moment in the past
