Brand New
DRAKE- Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It seems like everything I do, your used to it
And I hate hearing stories bout who you've been with
That's when I gotta hide, what I'm feeling inside
So you still think I'm confident and damn
Is this gonna last? Your up on a pedastool
Are we moving too fast?
Feel like I'm in crazy competition with the past
Brand new, brand new, brand new, brand new
Is anything I'm doing brand new?
Brand new, brand new, brand new, brand new, brand new
This here is something personal
Highly doubt this feeling is reversible
Knowledge is pain and that is why it hurts to know
That you attempt to hide, and put mistakes aside
So I don?t ever question you and damn
I can't even find, the perfect brush
So I can paint what's going through my mind
Racing against myself, but I'm a couple steps behind
That's why I gotta ask, is anything I'm doing brand new?
Brand new, brand new, brand new, brand new
Is anything I'm doing brand new?
Brand new, brand new, brand new, brand new
Brand new girl
Is anything I'm doing brand new
Is everything I'm doing too late
Did he take off your clothes off just like this
Did he give you loving just like this
Did you spend the night in his bed on the very first date
Tell me baby am I too late?
In Drake's song "Brand New", he is expressing his feelings of being in a relationship that seems to have lost its spark. He begins by addressing the fact that his partner is used to everything he does and that he hates hearing about their past partners, this causes him to hide his feelings inside. Drake questions if everything he is doing is brand new or if they are just going through the motions. He is feeling insecure as his partner appears to be put on a pedestal, and he feels like he is in competition with the past. The chorus emphasizes his need for the relationship to feel brand new.
In the second verse, Drake opens up about his personal feelings. He feels like he can't question his partner's mistakes because he has to hide his own. He relates knowledge to pain and that is why it hurts to know that his partner tries to hide their mistakes. He talks about not being able to find the perfect brush to paint what's going on in his mind and that he feels like he's racing against himself but is a couple of steps behind. The chorus repeats, and he ends by questioning if he is too late and if his partner has already experienced everything that he has to offer.
