August
Angel Cintron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take my time with what I do
This calm before the storm
Got nobody watching you
And I don′t really wanna do nothing
But pull up in a coop
Head out the roof top
Sunday cruise
Me plus you
Know I gotta really really long list
Shit to do
Gotta get bags
But it feels like it's august
Tryna chill it′s august
And you can't tell me nothing
For wanting to do nothing tonight
And you can't tell me nothing
Cuz it feels like it′s august
Tryna chill like it′s august
Everything I do
Always end up wanting more
I feel guilty getting sleep
Being bored became a chore
I change my mind like I change my clothes
Don't call my phone
I′m on my sofa
Letting go ah
It's difficult for me to know
For me to know
When to take it easy
Everybody watching
Always people pleasing
But today
And I don′t really wanna do nothing
But pull up in a coop
Head out the roof top
Baby girl tryna get sun kissed
Sunday cruise
Me plus you
Know I gotta really really long list
Shit to do
Gotta get bags
But it feels like it's august
Tryna chill it′s august
And you can't tell me nothing
For wanting to do nothing tonight
And you can't tell me nothing
Cuz it feels like it′s august
Tryna chill like it′s august

Dancing in the mirror
Enjoying myself while alone, admiring my own reflection
Take my time with what I do
Moving at my own pace, not in a rush
This calm before the storm
A moment of peace before things get hectic
Got nobody watching you
No one is monitoring my actions or judging me
And I don't really wanna do nothing
I have no desire to be productive or active
But pull up in a coop
Drive in a fancy car
Head out the roof top
Ride with the sun on my face and the wind in my hair
Baby girl tryna get sun kissed
A woman with me is seeking to tan in the sunlight
Sunday cruise
A leisurely drive on a weekend
Me plus you
Just the two of us
Know I gotta really really long list
I have many things that I need to accomplish
Shit to do
Tasks and activities that must be completed
Gotta get bags
Need to pack suitcases or travel bags
But it feels like it's august
The month of August, a time for rest and relaxation
Tryna chill it's august
Looking to take it easy and unwind during August
And you can't tell me nothing
I won't let anyone dictate my decisions or actions
For wanting to do nothing tonight
I have no plans for the evening and that's okay
Cuz it feels like it's august
The atmosphere and mood are relaxed and carefree like the summer month of August
Everything I do
My daily activities and endeavors
Always end up wanting more
I am never satisfied with what I have achieved
I feel guilty getting sleep
Resting and sleeping make me feel like I should be doing something productive instead
Being bored became a chore
Even being idle and unoccupied feels like a task or duty
I change my mind like I change my clothes
I am indecisive and frequently alter my opinions and plans
Don't call my phone
I don't want to talk to anyone at the moment
I’m on my sofa
Sitting or lying down and relaxing at home
Letting go ah
Relinquishing control and worries, embracing a carefree attitude
It's difficult for me to know
I struggle with understanding when to take it easy and not be productive
When to take it easy
The challenge of when to relax and unwind
Everybody watching
People are always observing my actions and choices
Always people pleasing
Frequently catering to the desires and expectations of others
But today
For today, I am going to take it easy and not worry about what others think or want
