In "Where You Been," ELNINO THEKID opens the track with a self-aware acknowledgment of his late arrival to the scene, yet he simultaneously asserts that he's always "on time" in terms of his artistic presence. This juxtaposition reflects a confident attitude, suggesting that regardless of when he shows up, he commands attention. The phrase "Where you been, where you been at" is not just a question addressed to others but also a rhetorical way of emphasizing his own relevance and consistency in the industry. The mention of needing his pen evokes the image of the creative process, indicating that his writing and expression flow naturally when he gets into the right mindset or zone. The clever wordplay, such as relating a "break off bar" to a "Kit Kat," showcases his lyrical dexterity and keeps the energy light-hearted yet assertive.
As the verse progresses, he adopts an energetic, party-oriented persona, characterized as a "dance floor regulator." This metaphor paints him as someone who not only participates in the party scene but also controls and amplifies the energy of the atmosphere. The imagery of the "elevator headed to the basement level" communicates a dynamic range, suggesting that he can take the energy low or high, reminiscent of how dance floors can fluctuate between moments of hype and introspection. The lyrics warn against "playing with the devil," implying that those who engage in risky or destructive behaviors will face consequences. By claiming he "throws flames around," he establishes himself as someone who brings intensity and innovation to the game, making it clear that he is not just another face in the crowd.
The chorus reaffirms his desire to keep creating, emphasizing the repetitive mantra of "I'm just tryin' to bang it out." This phrase embodies his dedication to his craft, suggesting a relentless work ethic in producing music. The mention of a “bring back” highlights that he’s not just focused on current trends, but also on bringing back the essence of what makes music enjoyable. The playful references, such as “syntax” and bars modeled after a popular candy, illuminate his clever wordplay and ability to weave a narrative through relatable metaphors that resonate with listeners.
In the latter part of the song, ELNINO dives deeper into his personality and work ethic, stating "My mind works better when my mouth is closed," which can be interpreted as valuing introspection and personal reflection over superficial chatter. He expresses preference for authenticity over pretense, both in terms of relationships and creative output. The references to competition and dismissal of haters signal a confident stance, suggesting that he is aware of critics and is ready for confrontation but prefers to remain focused on personal growth and success. By repeating the idea of simply wanting to “bang it out,” he underscores a no-nonsense approach to his art, reminding listeners that regardless of external distractions or criticisms, his main goal is to stay dedicated to his passion and craft.
