5 minutes
Yasmin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You call my phone when it's three in the morning
You're only in time for the night
I know I shouldn't but still I come over
Hoping it's different this time
That's not mine whose is this
Don't try to win me with a kiss
Cause I know it's all just pretend
No coincidence
All this evidence
And I know I'm too good for this

But I need 5 more minutes
Just 5 more minutes
Cuz I ain't finished with you
You've got 5 more minutes
So just admit it
Cuz I know I'm done with you
I need only 5 minutes to say
Fuck you

All I ever did
Was give you my attention
You love me then leave me alone
But there's been some things
That you'd forgot to mention
All this time you've been holding your tongue
Unfinished business
Things we left unsaid
But I'm here to tell exact I say i'm leaving
You say just leave then
Something keeps holding me back

Must be
5 more minutes
Just 5 more minutes
Cuz I ain t finished with you
You've got 5 more minutes
So just admit it
Cuz I know I'm done with you
I need only 5 minutes to say
Fuck you
Fuck you

For three years and two months
Only one day it took
You've been breaking all the rules in my book
I always suspected
But never was sure
I've had four minutes, give me one more

Give me one more minute
To just finish
Said this three times before

I had 5 more minutes
And I just did it
I'm sorry if it sounds cruel
Need only 5 minutes to say
Only 5 minutes to say




Only 5 minutes to say
Fuck you (4x)

Overall Meaning

The song "5 Minutes" by Yasmin is about a toxic relationship where the singer keeps getting hurt by a partner who cheats on her and lies to her. The first verse describes how the partner only calls her in the middle of the night, and she knows it's just for physical pleasure. Despite knowing that the partner is not trustworthy, she keeps coming back over and over again, hoping that things will be different. The singer accuses her partner of pretending to care and trying to win her over with a simple kiss, but she sees through the facade of the relationship. The evidence is clear, and she knows she deserves better than what she's getting. However, she feels the need to hold on to the relationship for just five more minutes, even if it's just to say "Fuck you" and to get some closure.


The second verse goes deeper into the history of the relationship. It seems as though the singer was always giving her partner the attention he wanted, but he kept leaving her alone. There were things that he never mentioned that only come up now that the relationship is on the rocks. Despite trying to move on, something keeps holding her back, and she feels the need to hold on for just five more minutes to get the closure she needs. The final repetition of the chorus is the resolution where she finally gets to say "fuck you" and walk away from the toxic relationship.

Please record again ... its depressing to have such talent hidden these last years.. I feel happy when Yasmin sings its like my soul beats she is so happy in her vocals. Devlin was ahead to have her record alas its long ago now. Best breaking act of 2018/19 ! come on we know talent and its enduring.
