Likewise
Chrmng Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You backtrack, hit my phone, and send me heart eyes
Eyes bloodshot, baby, I′ve been up like all night 'til sunrise
Hop out the whip, I told you sit tight, like frostbite
You said that you hate me, I said likewise
You backtrack, hit my phone, and send me heart eyes
Eyes bloodshot, baby, I′ve been up like all night 'til sunrise
Hop out the whip, I told you sit tight, like frostbite
Baby, you could do whatever do
But she gon' tell me when she not in the mood
And after all we′ve been through
I know you feel like you′re used
Baby, it's always been you, you, you
Aye, fuck that
I′ve been moving different, give a fuck about a rough patch
Bullseye, I'ma hit his body just like KovaaK
That boy sold his soul, bitch, I′m hard just like some cognac
It's so wack, you can hold that
I′m shy, man, I'm turning up, bitch, we don't need no hypeman
Full band ladies from the ′80s wanna hold hands
Money dance, I like money, man
Get off the plane, she asking when I land
Your husband′s a fan, he an old man
Well, I think that you're mad because you wanna be
You caught me slippin′ up, I think that you're onto me
I′ve heard it before
I'm walking straight through the door
I can′t be hurt anymore
You said that you hate me, I said likewise
You backtrack, hit my phone, and send me heart eyes
Eyes bloodshot, baby, I've been up like all night 'til sunrise
Hop out the whip, I told you sit tight, like frostbite
You said that you hate me, I said likewise
You backtrack, hit my phone, and send me heart eyes
Eyes bloodshot, baby, I′ve been up like all night ′til sunrise
Hop out the whip, I told you sit tight, like frostbite
The verses in Chrmng's song Likewise are quite reminiscent of a tumultuous relationship. The opening lyrics, "You said that you hate me, I said likewise," immediately set the tone for a contentious and tumultuous atmosphere. It suggests that the singer and their partner have said hurtful things to each other and are caught in a downward spiral of anger and regret. The second stanza has the singer accusing the partner of feeling used and attempting to control the partner's actions. The line, "I′ve been moving different, give a f*** about a rough patch," can be read as a declaration of independence and a desire to break free from the cycle of negativity.
However, in the chorus, the singer seems to recognize that they are still hooked on this turbulent relationship, as evidenced by the partner's "backtracking, hitting their phone, and sending heart eyes." Despite the bad blood between them, the singer and their partner are still drawn to each other like moths to a flame. The phrase "hop out the whip, I told you sit tight, like frostbite" is particularly potent because it can be interpreted in multiple ways. It could mean that the singer and partner have reached a point of understanding and can finally move on, or that they are acknowledging the cold reality of their relationship.
Overall, the lyrics to Likewise suggest a love-hate dynamic between the two partners, where they are hurtful to each other despite a strong desire to be together. The chorus seems to suggest that the relationship is still very much alive, despite its flaws and the hurt that it has caused.
