Problems
Cod-E Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I, I'm growing numb to being put on the side
You used to sit me up so high up on your shoulders
Those days are over, why?
You, you are a force of nature, just like the moon!
You got a hold on me, it's pulling me tighter
Bringing me closer to you
I just wanna know what it's like
Looking at the world through your bright eyes
Tell me how it is from inside
Like your mind is my mind
Baby, baby, you've been so silent to me lately, lately
It's like you disappeared, the night's so cold
Can't miss the last train home
Problems, problems
I know that everybody's got'em, got'em
But let's not do this here, the night's so cold
Can't miss the last train home
So cold
Yeah, yeah, you're a problem child, yeah
I can spot you for miles
If it ain't about this, then it's that
I can see your heart fade through your smile
And I know that the truth can't fix that
And the holes in your clothes don't expose you
And I know that the picture your friend isn't in
When you're crying on my shoulder
Yeah, yeah
I just wanna know what it's like
Staring at the world through your bright eyes
He just want a reason to fight over
But you on my side
No
Baby, baby, you've been so silent to me lately, lately
It's like you disappeared, the night's so cold
Can't miss the last train home
No, problems, problems
I know that everybody's got'em, got'em
But let's not do this here, the night's so cold
Can't miss the last train home
You don't even notice any picture-perfect moment
When you're lost up in your nothing
Just gone for days
So, here's a turn toast hoping
Prayer for you to notice
Oh, can you meet me halfway?
No
Problems, problems
I know that everybody's got'em, got'em
But let's not do this here, the night's so cold
Can't miss the last train home
The night's so cold
Can't miss the last train home
In "Problems," Cod-E expresses his feelings of being left behind by someone he cares about deeply. The lyrics start with him acknowledging the growing numbness he feels to constantly being put to the side, despite being once held high on a pedestal. He acknowledges the other person's power over him, comparing their force to nature, particularly the moon. Cod-E then proceeds to ask the other person to share their perspective with him, to see the world through their "bright eyes" and to have their mind be his.
He speaks of the other person's recent silence towards him, implying that they have disappeared and that it's making him feel cold and alone. However, he doesn't want to discuss their "problems" in the current cold night, but would rather not miss the last train home by getting caught up in them.
Cod-E then shifts the conversation towards the other person, calling them out as a "problem child" who only seeks reasons to fight and loses their smile, despite their outward picture-perfect presentation. However, he empathizes with them and knows that the truth cannot always heal them nor can the holes in their clothes expose them. Despite this, he just wants to stand with them and see things from their perspective.
The song ends with a hopeful sentiment, hoping that the other person will notice and meet him halfway. Overall, "Problems" is a song about wanting to understand and empathize with someone you care about, despite their struggles and problems.
