Prom
Chasing Shadows: A Yearning Dance of Hearts in Yung Chloroplast's 'Prom'
Lyrics
She's in the crowd watching me
Observing a girl in the crowd
She's with her friends
The girl is accompanied by her friends
She's got a red skirt on
The girl is wearing a distinctive red skirt
I could never miss it
Emphasizing the visibility of the red skirt
I could never miss it
Reiteration of the girl's noticeable appearance
With the hair bunned up like that
Describing the girl's hairstyle with a bun
No wonder she's the most popular around
Suggesting the girl is popular, possibly due to her appearance
I wonder if she'd think I'm cool
Expressing curiosity about whether the girl would find the speaker cool
Or dance with me to this sound
Wondering if the girl would dance to the music
Find someone ya know
Encouraging the listener to find a familiar person
Play too hard to get
Advising not to play too hard to get in relationships
Step too close to the edge
Warning against taking unnecessary risks
Now you're on your own
Consequence of risky behavior—being alone
Waiting for the phone
Waiting for communication or connection
There's no going back
Highlighting irreversible decisions
Too much talk
Too much talking, advocating for action
Just lil more action baby
Encouraging more action, less talk
If we getting traction maybe
Suggesting potential progress with increased traction
You would see me on the daily
Expressing a desire for daily visibility
Metro round the block kick it on a Sunday
Describing casual activities on a Sunday
Judging all my intentions in the wrong way
Feeling misunderstood by others
My homies telling me its time to move on
Friends advising to move on from a situation
Go inside ur room you want my shoes off
Advice to go inside and remove one's shoes
Treatin' all my love like some coupons
Comparing love to something disposable like coupons
Baby u know when you sittin' on the futon
Reflecting on moments spent together on a futon
Got you missin' all our convos on the rooftop
Missed conversations on a rooftop
Shawty tell me what is life with no nuance
Asking for clarity in life with nuance
Now without you every night I get those goosebumps
Expressing emotional impact after separation
Find someone ya know
Reiteration of finding a familiar person
Play too hard to get
Reemphasizing not to play too hard to get
Step too close to the edge
Repetition of the warning against taking risks
Now you're on your own
Reiteration of the consequence of risky behavior
Waiting for the phone
Repeating the theme of waiting for communication
There's no going back
Reiterating the irreversibility of certain actions
Find someone ya know
Encouraging the listener to find someone familiar
Play too hard to get
Warning against playing too hard to get
Step too close to the edge
Reiteration of the caution about getting too close to the edge
Now you're on your own
Reiterating the consequence of being on one's own
Waiting for the phone
Repeating the theme of waiting for communication
There's no going back
Emphasizing the irreversible nature of certain actions
