'Twas in the distant and enigmatic lands of Tokyo that his journey of renown began, amidst the shadowed gatherings of minstrels and artists unseen by the common gaze. In time, he journeyed yonder to the bustling domain of Los Angeles, where he unfurled his magnum opus thus far, 'Bussin'', an opus of such critical acclaim it echoed through the halls of the music sages.
Under the guiding star of luminaries like the wizard Stevie Wonder and the sage Ryuichi Sakamoto, Morrison hath collaborated with fellow conjurers of song such as Kirk Franklin, Masego, and Crush. Now, ensconced in the vibrant haven of Los Angeles, he toils with ancient melodies and modern incantations alike, forging ahead in his quest to expand the ever-mystical landscape of Dreamsoul, with albums yet to be revealed in their full glory.
That's All
Devin Morrison Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't really want it
You don't really wanna be hurt anymore
Farewell for now, my love
You deserve better than me
There's no reason or rhyme, don't waste your time on me
She's so sweet, too sweet to be mine
But I'm afraid she'll cry if I say what's on my mind
Should I stay or go?
Then the Ruach Hakodesh tells me
"She's loving you patiently
You're walking away from what she's giving you for free
Stop playing these games
She's your emotional slave
Emancipate her to be free
To love someone else"
That's all for us my love
I don't really want it
You don't really wanna be hurt anymore
Farewell for now, my love
You deserve better than me
There's no reason or rhyme
Don't waste your time on me
That's all for us my love
I don't really want it
You don't really wanna be hurt anymore
Farewell for now, my love
You deserve better than me
There's no reason or rhyme
Don't waste your time on me

She's so sweet, too sweet to be mine
She's such a nice person, it's hard to believe she would choose to be with me
But I'm afraid she'll cry if I say what's on my mind
I'm scared to tell her how I really feel because I don't want to hurt her
And I don't break her heart, so I fall to my knees
I don't want to be the one to break her heart, so I feel helpless
Should I stay or go?
I'm not sure if I should stay in this relationship or leave
Then the Ruach Hakodesh tells me
Then the Holy Spirit tells me
"She's loving you patiently
"She's being patient with you and loving you despite your flaws
You're walking away from what she's giving you for free
You're leaving the love and support she's giving you without any expectation of compensation
Stop playing these games
Stop messing with her emotions
She's your emotional slave
You're taking advantage of her emotional attachment to you
Emancipate her to be free
Set her free from this emotional burden
To love someone else"
Let her find happiness and love with someone else

You don't really wanna be hurt anymore
You don't want to be hurt anymore
Farewell for now, my love
Goodbye for now, my love
You deserve better than me
You deserve someone better than me
There's no reason or rhyme
There's no logical explanation for why we're ending
Don't waste your time on me
Don't spend any more time trying to make things work between us
