02 Furthest Thing
Drake Lyrics

Somewhere between psychotic and iconic
In an ambiguous and complex state, somewhere blending mental instability and legendary status.

Somewhere between I want it and I got it
Existing somewhere between desire and gratification.

Somewhere between I'm sober and I'm lifted
Existing between being fully conscious and being under the influence of a substance.

Somewhere between a mistress and commitment
Existing in a place between infidelity and fidelity, between wanting a mistress and wanting a committed relationship.
