Up Late
Midnight Reflections: A Soul's Struggle and Triumph in Thomas Rose's 'Up Late'
Lyrics
Lately I've been up late, ain't no one to talk to
Lately, I've been staying up late, feeling isolated without anyone to converse with.
You still got our memories, I hope that they still haunt you
You still carry memories of our past together, and I wish they continue to affect you emotionally.
I've been holding on ever since the day I lost you
Since the day I lost you, I've been clinging onto our relationship, unable to let go.
Ice up on my heart, I guess that's just what the frost do
There's a coldness and hardness in my emotions, akin to ice on my heart, possibly due to emotional detachment.
Tired of this fake love, so I take these meds
I'm tired of insincere affection, resorting to taking medication to cope.
She ain't really ever love me, she just want me in her bed
The person I was involved with didn't truly love me; they merely desired physical intimacy.
I be dealing with depression, make me feel like that I'm dead
Struggling with depression, feeling emotionally numb or lifeless.
Everyone around me left, that's why I ain't got no friends
Feeling abandoned by everyone around me, leading to a lack of friendships.
Everybody's gonna want me when I pull up inna Benz
Anticipating that people will be interested in me when I display material success (pull up inna Benz).
But everybody's fake so I know if you pretend
Recognizing that most people are deceitful, pretending to be something they're not.
And when they see me make don't try to make amends
Expecting that those who previously abandoned me won't suddenly try to reconcile upon my success.
Now they all my fans but they used to be my friends
Reflecting on how my former friends have now become fans due to my achievements.
How you gonna change and tell me that I'm different
Questioning someone's ability to change yet claim that I'm the one who's different.
I be thinking bout the past low-key like I always miss it
Pensively reminiscing about the past, often longing for it.
I be up way too late, I be talking to my demons
Sleep-deprived, engaging in internal struggles or conflicts.
I ain't ever had a dad, but I don't really need him
Never had a father figure but feeling like I don't necessarily need one.
I ain't never need no help
Self-reliant, never felt the need to depend on others.
Dealing with the things I've been dealt
Coping with the circumstances I've been handed in life.
I don't wanna feel the pain that I've felt
Wishing to avoid experiencing the pain I've gone through before.
Everybody come and go like show and tell
Observing how people come and go in life, like a show-and-tell.
Lately I've been up late, ain't no one to talk to
The same sentiments and emotions expressed earlier in the lyrics, reinforcing the feelings of isolation, emotional detachment, and struggles with trust and past experiences.
You still got our memories, I hope that they still haunt you
-I've been holding on ever since the day I lost you
-Ice up on my heart, I guess that's just what the frost do
-Tired of this fake love, so I take these meds
-She ain't really ever love me, she just want me in her bed
-I be dealing with depression, make me feel like that I'm dead
-Everyone around me left, that's why I ain't got no friends
-I got tired of fake love, I got tired of fake friends
-I got tired of these voices tryna get up in my head
-I got an angel on my right and the devil on my left
-And the devil got me slipping but the angel got me blessed
-Keep my head on a swivel 'cause they all be telling lies
-Everybody say I changed but don't be asking why
-I let everybody go that cut my back with a knife
-Nobody knows my past but tells me how to live my life
-I remember all them days I ain't have no place to sleep
-I remember all them days I ain't have nothing to eat
-If you were there when I was torn then you're coming up with me
-Tell me never play with fire bitch I'm best friends with the heat
-Lately I've been up late, ain't no one to talk to
-You still got our memories, I hope that they still haunt you
-I've been holding on ever since the day I lost you
-Ice up on my heart, I guess that's just what the frost do
-Tired of this fake love, so I take these meds
-She ain't really ever love me, she just want me in her bed
-I be dealing with depression, make me feel like that I'm dead
-Everyone around me left, that's why I ain't got no friends
