As It Ends
Emotional Odyssey: Navigating Love's Complexity in Tøkyo Smøke's 'As It Ends'
Lyrics
Another cut about my innocence
Expressing another instance of losing innocence or purity.
I see you settling for insolence
Observing someone accepting rudeness or disrespect.
But you play tough
Noting that the person puts on a tough exterior.
Till we say too much
They act tough until certain things are revealed or disclosed.
Im seeing friends that you will never meet
Referring to unseen friends and experiences beyond the other person's reach.
Hotels in cities you will never be
Mentioning locations and experiences the person will never have.
Get your guard up
Advising the person to be on guard because the situation is challenging.
Kid it's tough love
Referring to the difficulty as a form of tough love.
Boy it'd be better if I felt a thing
Expressing a desire for emotional connection.
Too many drinks to keep me settling
Using alcohol to cope with or numb emotions.
No moves on me, but I could cut the rug
Despite appearing unaffected, the person is skilled in social situations.
You speak a word and we're speaking too much
Warning about the consequences of speaking too openly.
Say less your keeping me running chase
Encouraging the person to speak less to maintain a chase or pursuit.
Leave the surprise just give me the cake
Preferring substance over superficial surprises.
Im diving deeper fuck saving face
Expressing a willingness to go deeper and be authentic.
Give me the run around long as it ends
Accepting a situation or relationship as long as it eventually concludes.
Long as it ends
Reiterating the acceptance of an ending, emphasizing its importance.
Long as it ends
-Long as it ends
-At you're place
-I bet you think you've got it figured out
Addressing the misconception that the person is easily understood.
Im not a simple mind like everyone else here
Asserting uniqueness compared to others.
Please keep playing
Encouraging the person to continue their game.
but its my game and I'll
Asserting control over the situation or relationship.
I'll hold you close enough to taste your breath
Describing physical proximity without emotional closeness.
But far enough to keep you out of my head
Maintaining a distance to preserve emotional boundaries.
These Venice boys bringing life to my phone
Mentioning people from Venice bringing excitement to life.
In case I don't wanna know where this goes
Choosing ignorance over knowing the direction of the situation.
Say less your keeping me running chase
Repeating the preference for a chase and emphasizing the desire for a conclusion.
Leave the surprise give me the cake
-Im diving deeper fuck saving face
-Give me the run around long as it ends
-Long as it ends
-Long as it ends
-Long as it ends
-At you're place
Reiterating the acceptance of an ending, now specifying the person's place.
