Bay Faction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I know
you may be still stuck in the burbs
But you should know
If you want to play then I'm down to play but it's by my rules and dare I say that
I only know one game
So please don't act like you know this
Just cuz you want what I have
And I cant get mad at what you've been doing I've been doing some myself
And it's not like I stay awake at night wishing I was with someone else but come on I I put my heart in you I only know one game...
The lyrics to Bay Faction's song Beach Book seem to speak about a relationship where both parties have done things they are not proud of. The first few lines suggest the singer may not be in the best state to talk, with a cold or being drunk, yet they are aware that the person they are talking to may still be stuck in their home environment. The lines "If you want to play then I'm down to play but it's by my rules" followed by "I only know one game" seem to suggest the singer is on their guard, and they are not willing to be manipulated or controlled by anyone. They know what they want and are prepared to stick to their rules. The lines "please don't act like you know this, just cuz you want what I have" could indicate that the other person may be envious of what the singer has, and as a result, is trying to manipulate them into playing by their rules.
The latter part of the song seems to suggest that the singer is conflicted about how they feel towards this other person. They acknowledge that they've both made mistakes, but they are not interested in dwelling on them. The lines "it's not like I stay awake at night wishing I was with someone else" show that they are content with what they have, but they still feel hurt by the other person's actions. The standout line in this song is "come on I put my heart in you" which conveys that the singer has invested a lot of themselves in this relationship and expects to be treated with respect.

I am not actively seeking out someone else to be with, but you should understand that I have invested a lot of emotion into our relationship and I won't change the way I go about it

I know right?? A masterpiece of an EP. It almost feels unfair.

Do they not realize how fucking good this EP was? I’m heart broken every day over it
Lukas Bostick
This entire EP went off Spotify recently. What happened

They could've just made another spotify profile... very poor choice from their part of their only justification was that they wanted a new image.

@jax borthayre hard disagree, but to each their own.
jax borthayre
@Rioty yes thats true, but it was released as an ep on spotify, and those 3 song are argubly the only good songs they ever put out
Rioty
it's surreal seeing people talk about Bloody Nose, Sasquatch .22, and Beach Book as an EP. i hope you folks know there's an entire album they took off streaming platforms in this style before the EP; highly recommend it if you're unaware.
