The Reason
Dmitriy Kono Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Won’t be defeated
Blood on my sleeve what’s left of love
You are the reason
Falling down I’m getting up
Won’t be defeated
Blood on my sleeve what’s left of love
Come look inside of my eyes
Smile at depression smiling back
Beautiful women I met in my life
I fed them lies few came back
Blame it on me or my broken home
Spending my night on the street alone
Long as we try maybe things will change
All that you want is your bills to be paid
Tittie is showing ass is out
I didn’t see it
All of your flags were burning red
Still ain’t believe it
Pussy is wet on the first night
Wrap it on up for a test drive
That’s how you got my heart in yo’ hands
I gave you the keys you threw them and ran
Falling down I’m getting up
Won’t be defeated
Blood on my sleeve what’s left of love
You are the reason
Falling down I’m getting up
Won’t be defeated
Blood on my sleeve what’s left of love
You are the reason
Went from a friend to becoming your man
To becoming your husband to be
Only to have it blow up in my face
To becoming the guy that’s giving you D
How did you change so much?
Laughing as our flame goes out
Not even a tear gets shed
You feel no way somehow, shit
I never coulda thought it’s possible
For you to be acting this cold
You coming over for closure
And waking up with no clothes
Our time flew by but not wasted
I learned that love had a price
I don’t regret for a second
I would of done it all twice
Falling down I’m getting up
Won’t be defeated
Blood on my sleeve what’s left of love
You are the reason
Falling down I’m getting up
Won’t be defeated
Blood on my sleeve what’s left of love
You are the reason
In "The Reason" by Dmitriy Kono, the lyrics depict a story of resilience and heartbreak. The opening lines, "Falling down I’m getting up, Won’t be defeated, Blood on my sleeve what’s left of love, You are the reason," convey the singer's determination to rise above adversity despite being wounded in love. The phrase "blood on my sleeve" symbolizes the pain and emotional scars caused by a failed relationship, with the person addressed as "you" being the cause.
The following lyrics, "Come look inside of my eyes, Smile at depression smiling back, Beautiful women I met in my life, I fed them lies few came back," reflect on the singer's experiences with relationships. The singer acknowledges the presence of depression in their life, which is personified as something that looks them in the eyes. They also confess to having deceived some of the beautiful women they encountered in their life, but only a few stayed. This could imply that the singer's past actions have a direct impact on their current emotional state.
The line "Long as we try maybe things will change, All that you want is your bills to be paid" suggests a sense of hopelessness and financial struggle in the relationship. The singer recognizes that their partner's main concern is to have their bills paid, which may have put a strain on the connection. Additionally, the lyrics touch upon the objectification of women with the line "Tittie is showing ass is out, I didn’t see it, All of your flags were burning red, Still ain’t believe it." The singer admits their naivety in not recognizing the signs of the partner's dishonesty or ulterior motives.
The second verse delves into the singer's disappointment and heartbreak. From being a friend to becoming a husband-to-be, the singer experienced a drastic change in the relationship dynamics. The line "How did you change so much? Laughing as our flame goes out" expresses the confusion and hurt caused by the partner's transformation. Despite the disillusionment, the singer reflects on the lessons learned, acknowledging that love comes with a price and they would go through it all again without regret.
Overall, "The Reason" explores themes of resilience, betrayal, and personal growth. Through the song, Dmitriy Kono offers a raw and introspective examination of a failed relationship, highlighting the emotional struggles and the determination to overcome them. The lyrics capture the complexity of human emotions and the impact that love and heartbreak can have on an individual's perspective.
