Fuck that shit
Hold on, I got to start this motherfuckin' record over again
Wait a minute
Fuck that shit
Still on this motherfuckin' record
I'ma play this motherfucka for y'all
Ayy, y'all get some more drinks goin' on
Listen
Seeing you got ritualistic
Cleansin' my soul of addiction for now
'Cause I'm fallin' apart
Yeah, tension
Between us just like picket fences
You got issues that I won't mention for now
'Cause we're fallin' apart
Passionate from miles away
Passive with the things you say
Passin' up on my old ways
I can't blame you, no, no
Passionate from miles away
Passive with the things you say
Passin' up on my old ways
I can't blame you, no, no
Listen
Harder buildin' trust from a distance
I think we should rule out commitment for now
'Cause we're fallin' apart
Leavin'
You're just doing that to get even
Don't pick up the pieces, just leave it for now
They keep fallin' apart
Passionate from miles away
Passive with the things you say
Passin' up on my old ways
I can't blame you, no, no
Passionate from miles away
Passive with the things you say
Passin' up on my old ways
I can't blame you, no, no
Um, trying to think of the right thing to say
The beginning of the song may seem like an interruption or a mistake, but it's actually a part of Drake's style. He's known for being informal in his music, often blurring the line between his personal life and music. His music is honest and raw, as he frequently interjects with his own thoughts and emotions.
As for the lyrics themselves, they explore the complications of a long-distance relationship. Drake's partner is passionate and active from afar, but lacks that same drive when they're in person. The tension between them is palpable and it's putting a strain on their relationship. However, Drake still can't blame them for their actions. He recognizes that he's also been passive in the past, and they're both struggling to make it work.
The chorus of the song repeats the same lines, emphasizing the idea of distance and passivity. Drake knows that he should be more active in the relationship, but he's been so passive in the past that he has trouble breaking out of his old habits. He can't blame his partner for feeling the same way.
In all, "Passionfruit" is a song about the complications of modern relationships, particularly those affected by distance. It explores the tensions and conflicts that arise when people are physically separated from one another, yet still trying to maintain a connection.
