Menace
Dounia Lyrics

I got a feeling that he might be mad
Dounia senses that her lover may be angry

All a sudden I'ma just fine detached, I'm just fine detached
Despite sensing her lover's anger, Dounia feels emotionally distant from the situation and herself

I'm just tryna relax
Dounia is attempting to remain calm and at ease

I got a feeling that he might be cold
Dounia believes her lover may be emotionally withdrawn or distant

Said he a menace but I might be sold, yeah I might be sold,
Her lover's erratic behavior may put off others, but Dounia still finds herself attracted to him

I despise that role
Dounia does not enjoy being drawn to someone others view negatively

I tried to fight it but I might be too sore
Dounia has tried to resist her feelings but may be too emotionally exhausted to continue fighting

Keep it bottled up like some rare liquor
Dounia is suppressing her emotions, treating them like they are valuable to be kept safe

That we save for when we don't need to save no more
Dounia is holding back her emotions until a time when she no longer feels the need to suppress them

Tried to light it but I might be too late
Dounia may be trying to let go of her emotions, but it could be too late to do so

Wouldn't it be funny if things my went my way, my way
Dounia imagines a humorous scenario where things work out in her favor

If we play this out, darlin, can you be the villain?
Dounia wonders if her lover is willing to be the 'bad guy' in their relationship

You can my break my heart, darlin don't that sound appealing?
Dounia imagines her lover breaking her heart, finding some appeal in the thought

Real fun real fun
Dounia tries to convince herself that being heartbroken could be thrilling

Show me how it's done, done done
Dounia begs her lover to show her how to deal with heartbreak and love

Lately I been terrified, tired of being numb (tired of bein' numb)
Dounia admits to feeling frightened and exhausted from feeling emotionally disconnected

I ain't tryna be numb
Dounia does not want to feel emotionally detached

Swearing you're the one one one
Dounia believes her lover is her perfect match

Keep falling in line when you're tryna fall in love
Dounia feels she is conforming to others' expectations and does not want to lose herself while falling in love

You ain't gonna fall in love
Dounia believes her lover will not commit to a deeper, meaningful relationship

Often mistaken for a teaser but I ain't here to please ya
Dounia is often misunderstood as playing hard-to-get, but rejects the notion that it's her intention

Act like I'm an option like hello nice to meet ya
Dounia feels like others view her as a choice rather than a priority

It's an occasion, bring your own vices
Dounia views relationships as opportunities to bring out the worst in each other

Life of the party but she damn near lifeless
Dounia is outgoing and entertaining, but is empty and exhausted on the inside

Curve in her back but she feel real spineless (feel real spineless)
Dounia is physically attractive but feels weak and powerless in her personality and emotions

Yeah it gets quite old
Dounia has grown tired of feeling empty and powerless
