None Of My Business
arms akimbo Lyrics

In "None of My Business," the singer is dealing with a complex mix of emotions surrounding a relationship that has gone wrong. The first verse deals with the singer feeling betrayed by their partner, who has apparently lied to them about something important. The second line, "That's another lie I caught myself," suggests that the singer is accustomed to being lied to, and perhaps that they have stopped believing their partner altogether. The next line, "Now you're flying solo / That's another soul I lost myself," implies that the singer has lost something valuable as a result of their partner's actions. It's possible that this referred to a relationship that the singer had with someone else, that was lost because of their partner's behavior.

The chorus suggests that the singer is struggling to process their emotions, and feeling overwhelmed by their own thoughts. The line "I'm overflowing with words I don't know" suggests that the singer is struggling to articulate their feelings, and may be experiencing a sense of confusion or disorientation. The next line, "I'm rubbing elbows with folks I don't know," suggests that the singer is trying to distract themselves and move on from their emotional turmoil by surrounding themselves with unfamiliar people and experiences.

The second verse introduces a new complication in the singer's emotional landscape - jealousy. The line "Oh, he made a sweet move / That's another night that'll cost him soon" suggests that the singer's partner has been unfaithful, and that the singer is planning some kind of retaliation. The next line, "Cause this girl's got a sweet tooth / And there's a cover charge to get in her room," indicates that the singer is looking for attention, and willing to use sex to get it.

The chorus resurfaces once again, suggesting that the singer is still struggling to process their emotions, despite their attempts to distract themselves. The line "I fucked a friendship hoping you'd be home" implies that the singer has taken some kind of action against their partner, but that it has ultimately led to more confusion and pain.
