DJ Nu-Mark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuz I can’t wear a frown
I can’t come around
Cuz I can’t wear a frown
I get way too caught up when I’m lonely
Cuz you are my one and only
I just wanna show you off
But you're tryna keep it low-key
Acting like you not down
I get all up in my bag
Every time I come around
You know what you do to me
I guess we’re not meant to be
You must be my therapist
You messing with me mentally
Feeling like I’m torn in half
I should keep you in the past
Why did I give you a shot
If I knew we’d never last
I can’t come around
Cuz I can’t wear a frown
I can’t come around
Cuz I just can’t wear a frown
I can’t come around because my feelings take me over
I call you late at night because I’m looking for some closure
I’m just lying all alone in my bed
I can’t help myself from thinking 'bout all the things you said
All the things you did, all the times you left me on read
All the times that you would leave to hang out with your friends instead
I can’t fall behind the rest, oh no, I gotta get ahead
Gotta leave you with the truth, can’t leave anything unsaid
I can’t come around
Cuz I can’t wear a frown
I can’t come around
Cuz I just can’t wear a frown
The lyrics in DJ Nu-Mark's song "Intro" speak to the struggle of trying to let go of someone who you know is not good for you, but you still have feelings for. The artist expresses how they can't keep coming around to the subject of the song because they can't wear a fake smile and pretend that everything is okay. They can't help getting caught up in their own feelings when they're lonely because that person was their one and only. They want to show them off, but the other person wants to keep it low-key, making it hard for the artist because they get all emotional every time they are around them.
The artist describes feeling like they're torn in half because they know they should keep that person in the past, but they still have strong feelings for them. They call them late at night because they are looking for some closure, but they can't help themselves from thinking about all the things that person said and did to them. The artist realizes that they can't keep falling behind while everyone else moves on, and they have to leave them with the truth because they can't leave anything unsaid.
Line by Line Meaning
I can’t come around
I am unable to be present or hang out with you
Cuz I can’t wear a frown
Because I cannot hide my true emotions and pretend to be happy when I am not
I get way too caught up when I’m lonely
When I am alone, I tend to sink into negative thoughts and feelings
Cuz you are my one and only
Because you are the most important person in my life
I just wanna show you off
I desire to display our relationship proudly
But you're tryna keep it low-key
You prefer to keep our relationship private and not publicize it
You wanna keep it locked down, blocked out
You want to keep our relationship a secret and hidden from others
Acting like you not down
You are pretending to not be interested or invested in our relationship
I get all up in my bag
I become deeply invested in my own emotions and thoughts
Every time I come around
Whenever I am near you
You know what you do to me
You are aware of the effect you have on me
I guess we’re not meant to be
I assume that our relationship is not destined to work out
You must be my therapist
You are the one who helps me cope with my emotions and thoughts
You messing with me mentally
You are affecting my mental state and wellbeing
Feeling like I’m torn in half
I am feeling conflicted and uncertain
I should keep you in the past
I should move on from our relationship
Why did I give you a shot
Why did I decide to pursue a relationship with you
If I knew we’d never last
If I had known that our relationship would not work out in the end
Because my feelings take me over
Because my emotions overpower me
I call you late at night because I’m looking for some closure
I contact you during odd hours hoping for a sense of resolution or finality in our relationship
I’m just lying all alone in my bed
I am feeling lonely and isolated, with only my own thoughts to keep me company
I can’t help myself from thinking 'bout all the things you said
You and what you have said to me are constantly on my mind, and I cannot stop thinking about them
All the things you did, all the times you left me on read
Your past actions and ignoring me have left an impact on me
All the times that you would leave to hang out with your friends instead
Your prioritizing your friends over our relationship has left me feeling hurt
I can’t fall behind the rest, oh no, I gotta get ahead
I cannot let myself become stagnant or stuck, I need to move on and progress
Gotta leave you with the truth, can’t leave anything unsaid
I must be honest with you and tell you everything that is on my mind, even if it is difficult to express

Buying this temporarily before I get the SB3 😊 Got to use something for my DJ sessions so dragging over the cursor will not be such a nuisance 😂

Are the sliders not flimsy or having that cheap plasticky feel to it?

Getting into a PC MIDI controller for the first time. back in college (20 years ago, wow I feel old) I bought a used set of Technics and a Vestax mixer and got pretty good at mixing. I was heavily into the Hardcore/Freeform side, looking back on it now I was right there at the start of Freeform, when it branched from Trancecore. After living and working for a long time wanted to get back into it as a hobby for fun, and went with the Party Mix because its relatively cheap and seems good enough for beginner/fun usage. Using a MIDI controller on a PC is different from spinning Vinyls, hopefully this will help me get into using it a bit more.

Awesome, have fun with it! If you need any help just let us know :)
