Bryson Tiller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Put this shit back in motion
Put this shit back in motion
Now you finally open, I'm just tryna be only
We been ashin' our roaches
Throw them shits in a bowl and (smoke that shit up)
Rollin' one and mow, now we fired up
Now we both lookin' high as fuck
You ain't look me in the eye once
Fuck it, out you in five months
You ain't gotta be shy girl if
Hol' up
You don't know how much
You've helped me grow, you've helped me grow, baby, yeah
You don't know how much I've been tryna show you
I know you felt me though
Ooh, girl I saw this comin'
Don't wanna act all nonchalant, that would mean
That everything we talked about was all for nothin'
Ohh, girl, you know I've been soo afraid
Mmm, hmmm, mmm
Mmm, hmmm, mmm
Baby I've been sufferin', does that mean nothin'?
That's gotta mean somethin'
Baby I would go insane for your love
Fuck what your friends say, 'cause that gotta mean somethin'
This became a little bit too much
Gotta watch my intake, that's gotta mean somethin'
(This how it goin', put that shit back in motion)
Gotta mean somethin'
(Promise everything gonna be kosher)
(Trap soul)
In Bryson Tiller's song Open Interlude, the singer is addressing a particular person they have been waiting to open up to them. The first verse demonstrates a sense of frustration as they have been waiting for five months trying to get the other person to make eye contact, to open up to them. Now, they are happy that the other person has finally opened up to them - they ash their roaches and smoke their weed. It's a metaphor for clearing the air and moving forward. In the second verse, the singer acknowledges how their relationship has helped them grow and how they have been trying to show that to the other person. They reveal that they have been afraid and imply that they have been suffering because of their feelings for the other person. The lyrics "That's gotta mean somethin'" indicate that the singer believes their emotions and dedication towards the person is significant and worth the effort. The singer is aware of the potential obstacles that weigh down their relationship, but they are ready to do whatever it takes to overcome them.
The song has a laid-back, chilled vibe, with the lyrics reflecting intimacy and vulnerability. It captures the feeling of wanting to connect with someone on a deeper level, to clear the air and move past any undisclosed issues that hold back growth and bonding. The song conveys the undeniable emotions that build up when someone is in a relationship, and their partner is unable or unwilling to open-up.
