XO

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One, two, three
Yeah, she's in love with the concept
As if we're all just how she imagined
'Cause "we're in love but just don't know it yet", huh
Well, tell me how am I supposed to see the magic?

'Cause I don't believe in it no more
But I won't tell her
'Cause I always imagined
It's easier if she thinks she won
So I'mma let her, and she said

"I don't think I love you no more
You never seem to call me lately"
Girl, I don't think you know me at all
'Cause I never thought I'd have to say this
No, I don't love you, and I never did
Look at us burning down in flames for kicks but just know
I'm not singing for your XO
I'm just singing 'cause it's over, yeah

Yeah
Came and went like the summer time
Was that a sunset or sunrise?
Looking back like "where'd the time go?"
So much for trying to keep this moving slow
'Cause I don't believe in her no more
But I remember

How we talked shit like we knew what we wanted
And I still remember what she said

"I don't think I love you no more
You never seem to call me lately"
But I don't think she knew me at all
'Cause I never thought I'd have to say this
But I'm no liar, and I never hid anything
You should have seen it coming to this just know




I'm not singing for an ex though
I'm just singing 'cause it's over, yeah, yeah

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Eden's song XO suggest that the singer's partner is in love with the idea of their relationship, rather than the reality of it. The phrase "she's in love with the concept" implies that the partner is looking at the relationship through rose-tinted glasses, expecting a certain experience that may not be provided. The singer notes that his partner believes that they both are in love, but just unaware of it. However, the singer is disillusioned, and no longer believes in the idea of love, and the beauty of the relationship is no longer visible to him.


The song goes on to suggest that the singer believes his partner is unaware of who he really is. Perhaps she only loves the idea of him, rather than who he truly is. The lyrics "Girl, I don't think you know me at all, 'cause I never thought I'd have to say this, no I don't love you, and I never did," suggest that their relationship has been built on false expectations. In the end, the singer sings that he's not singing for his ex, but rather for himself, because the relationship has come to an end.


Overall, the song seems to suggest that love and relationships are often founded on illusions and assumptions, and that these can quickly crumble when we're forced to confront reality. Eden's song departs from the typical love song tropes, and instead takes a more philosophical approach to the topic of love and relationships.

@skyoiiyoung6962

It was a normal day in 2016. I came home from school and got on roblox. I click on MurderMystery 2 and I start to play. I look at my radio and I see this song. I click it and I'm in love.







This song brings me back to those great days. When I wasn't fighting depression and social issues. When I was happy and free. Thank you for making this song ♡
