CIGARETTES
Amir Obe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I, I, I... never reach up
I got amnesia
I don't remember
I got a temper
You stalkin' now
I fuck around
You fuck around
We both not proud
You said I'm different
I'm difficult
You said I'm missin'
I'm missin' you
You poppin' up
I'm poppin' out
They talkin' now
Just block 'em out
Yeah, new phone, who dis?
New thread, do it
Don't kill the vibe, bitch, I'm too lit
Them rumors come from you, I knew it, knew it
Yeah, if you overthinkin', I get high with you
If you ever sinkin', I go down with you
All I need is my baby and a cigarette
Convo gettin' dry but I can get it wet
Yeah, if you overthinkin', I get high with you
If you ever sinkin', I go down with you
All I need is my baby and a cigarette
Convo gettin' dry but I can get it wet
I can see your true colors, ain't nothin' true
I been with you two summers, ain't nothin' new
Watch you get done up and tell me it's for me
See you in public, you actin' differently
Brand new, brand new, brand new
'Bout to dumb it down, don't understand you
Ain't no point in flexin' 'cause I am too
Flexin', flexin', flexin' like a dance move
Yeah, new phone, who dis?
New thread, do it
Don't kill the vibe, bitch, I'm too lit
Them rumors come from you, I knew it, knew it
Yeah, if you overthinkin', I get high with you
If you ever sinkin', I go down with you
All I need is my baby and a cigarette
Convo gettin' dry but I can get it wet
Yeah, if you overthinkin', I get high with you
If you ever sinkin', I go down with you
All I need is my baby and a cigarette
Convo gettin' dry but I can get it wet
Yeah, if you overthinkin', I get high with you
If you ever sinkin', I go down with you
All I need is my baby and a cigarette
Convo gettin' dry but I can get it wet
Yeah, if you overthinkin', I get high with you
If you ever sinkin', I go down with you




All I need is my baby and a cigarette
Convo gettin' dry but I can get it wet

Overall Meaning

In Amir Obe's song "CIGARETTES," the singer reflects on a turbulent relationship with someone they have a deep connection to, but struggle to communicate with. The lyrics discuss the singer's tendency to avoid confrontation and confrontation altogether, causing them to forget moments of conflict and frustration. Despite this, they also have a fiery side, alluding to a temper that can become explosive. The other person in the relationship is described as "stalking" the singer, and both parties are guilty of infidelity but refuse to acknowledge it openly.


The repetition of "new phone, who dis?" throughout the song could be interpreted as an attempt to distance themselves from the drama and rumors that surround them. The singer admits to overthinking and getting high to escape their thoughts, while also being willing to support their partner through difficult times. Ultimately, they only need their partner and a cigarette to feel content, even if their conversations have become dry. The song portrays a complex relationship where both parties are struggling with communication and trust issues, but remain deeply connected.
