Bay Faction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Patience sucks
I want something that I can hold
But oh my God, I can′t, take you anywhere
Whatever I try
End up with no money to get by
Grizzly at my door
Yeah, I'm cute, no collar
Bloody still want more
I'm not hiding out, I′m taking a bath
Everybody changes so fast
If we don′t talk today
You don't have my back
If we don′t talk today
I don't want you back
Build a fort from sheets and two by fours
Fall asleep face to face, you′re my girl
But oh my God, I can't take you anywhere
Whatever I try
End up with no money to get by
Thousand dollar
Grizzly on my mind
Yeah, I′m cute, no collar
Bloody still want more
I'm not hiding out, I'm taking a bath
Everybody changes so fast
If we don′t talk today
You don′t have my back
If we don't talk today
I don′t want you back
In "1k," Bay Faction explores the themes of desire, impatience, and the struggles of maintaining relationships. The lyrics convey a feeling of frustration and longing for something tangible, something the singer can hold onto. The opening lines, "What's the point if I don't get it first? Patience sucks, I want something that I can hold," express a sense of urgency and a desire for instant gratification. The singer is tired of waiting and wants something concrete to fulfill their desires.
However, the chorus reveals the irony and consequences of this impulsive nature. The line, "Oh my God, I can't take you anywhere, whatever I try, end up with no money to get by," suggests that the singer's impatience and need for immediate satisfaction often leads to financial instability. They may be spending money recklessly, perhaps trying to impress or appease someone else. The repeated phrase, "Thousand dollar, grizzly at my door," symbolizes the burden of the singer's impulsive tendencies and their consequences.
The second verse introduces a different theme - the vulnerability and fleeting nature of relationships. The image of building a fort from sheets and two by fours represents a sense of intimacy and comfort. Falling asleep face to face with someone suggests a deep emotional connection. Yet, despite this closeness, the chorus repeats the same pattern. The singer still can't take this person anywhere, and it continues to result in their financial struggles.
Overall, "1k" captures the frustration of impatience, the consequences of impulsive behavior, and the fleeting nature of relationships. It emphasizes the importance of communication, as highlighted in the lines, "If we don't talk today, you don't have my back. If we don't talk today, I don't want you back." The song portrays a complex mix of emotions and explores the complexities of human desires and the challenges of maintaining healthy relationships.
