Closure
Ab- Soul Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I called you back I'm glad you didn't answer baby
'Cause every-time we talk I always feel the static baby
Could be the distance, yeah
You spoke the truth into existence to degrade yourself
Told me keep it G as if you told yourself
Knew that I was on the move
I got to prove my theories to be true
I know it's getting hard to think about me
I know it's hard to see me on the TV
I know you wish you never met me
I liked you better when you didn't like me
Things just ain't the same no more
Things just ain't the same no more
Still think about you everyday
And I wish I could stay
But things just ain't the same no more

I don't regret a second that we shared, hell no
In fact I often wish that you was here, right now, ow, ow
Cause' when Lori left me you was right there
Lord knows you had the right care
I wonder if you still praying to the East
I wonder if you ever forgave me

I know it's getting hard to think about me
I know it's hard to see me on the TV
I know you wish you never met me
I liked you better when you didn't like me
Things just ain't the same no more
Things just ain't the same no more
Still think about you everyday
And I wish I could stay
But things just ain't the same no more

I know I said it'll be just one time
But it felt so good that I came back twice
And I take full blame
But in this world of selfish men




You keep your heart inside your chest
And not in someone else's hand

Overall Meaning

In Ab-Soul's song "Closure," the lyrics appear to be about a past relationship that has come to an end. The singer acknowledges that every time they talk to their former partner, there's "static," indicating tension and discomfort in their interactions. They suggest that the distance between them could be a factor in this tension, but also alludes to the idea that their partner "spoke the truth into existence" and degraded themselves, which is possibly a factor in why things went sour.


The refrain "things just ain't the same no more" suggests that the relationship has undergone a significant change and likely cannot be salvaged. The singer is aware of the impact they've had on their partner's life, with lines like "I know it's getting hard to think about me / I know you wish you never met me," and even expresses some regret - "I wonder if you ever forgave me." Despite all of this, however, the singer still thinks about their former partner every day and wishes things could go back to how they used to be.
