Desiigner
I’m on some real life shit, life, real life shit
Never satisfied when you’re goin’ past it
Throws a lot of money put …
Like a phoenix I will rise from the flame
Flipping eyes on the ashes I remain
You used me up
Yeah, you thought I was the same girl
But I’m not the same girl
Living …
Ferina
They don’t know, now they know
I’ve been too busy getting money
I’ve been too busy playing these games that they play
That they want to play with me
M-m-m-Murda
She tell that I ball …
We are what
These days we all need follow
These days we’re feeling hollow
Give back the only motto
We are what
They say it all gets better
They say it won’t last forever
Can someone pull …
Oh my mind
I walk down Mayflower Road again
the waning sun
echoes from the park seem so absurd
the bus takes hours
I knew it would but I cant shake the stand
can’t spend my time on everybody else1
If buildings fell
At least we’d be in matrimony2
I can’t control
The words kaleidoscope inside my head3
Has the world gone mad
Or is it me?4
All these small things
They gather round me
gather round me5
Is it all so very bad
I can’t see6
Oh all these small things
They gather round me
Gather round me
and I can’t see
Saw The Police
screaming something trivial like
‘keep the peace’7
the world moves on and you can’t shake the sound
I know she’s home8
leaning on somebody loving life
all in my mind the anvil and the weight on my back9
Has the world gone mad
Or is it me?
All these small things
They gather round me
Gather round me
Is it all so very bad
I can’t see
Oh all these small things
They gather round me
Gather round me
And I can’t see
Has the world gone mad
Or is it me
All these small things
They gather round me
Gather round me
Is it all so very bad
I can’t see
All these small things
They gather round me
Gather round me
And I can’t see my love
mmm
I can’t see my love

Summer
‘I know she is home’ relates to how his love is waiting for him at home, but he cannot recognise himself anymore in the relationship so he calls himself this ‘somebody’ meaning he has lost himself and cannot connect with his girlfriend anymore. It’s a ‘weight on his back’ because he is consumed with guilt. He takes the bus ride to calm himself down and gather his thoughts, but he comes to the daunting realisation that be ‘can’t seem my love’. All these small things about her are gathering around him and he cannot stand her anymore. He is questioning whether he has gone mad because he can’t get past the small things that irritate/upset the shit out of him anymore about the relationship he is in. Basically, his relationship is falling apart because he is growing delusioned with his love. He calls out to the world, wondering if it’s just him that’s going mad and can’t he see how good she is? All in all, he can’t get passed the small things about his love anymore, his love towards his girlfriend is wavering. His whole faith in the world is collapsing before his very own eyes.
