Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Higher than the mutha fucka dreaming of you as my lova)
(Higher than the mutha fucka dreaming of you as my lova)
I know it hurts
You know, I'd quench that thirst (I can treat you better than her)
You say you want me
I say, you think about it
One who resonates that chaste mouth open like aaaahhh
Higher than the mutha fucka dreaming of you as my lova (Mouth open, you're high)
Flying like a streamer, thinking of new ways to do each other (Mouth open, you're high)
Pull out the incisor, give me two weeks, you won't recognize her
Mouth open, you're high
I know it hurts
You know, I'd put you first (I can fuck you better than her)
You say you want me
I say, you'll live without it
Unless you're the only
One who instigates: "Get your mouth open, you're high"
Higher than the mutha fucka dreaming of you as my lova (Mouth open, you're high)
Flying like a streamer, thinking of new ways to do each other (Mouth open, you're high)
Pull out the incisor, give me two weeks, you won't recognize her
Mouth open, you're high
Feel your body closing, I can rip it open
Suck me up, I'm healing for the shit you're dealing
Smoke on your skin to get those pretty eyes rolling
My tights are apart for when you're ready to breathe in
Suck me up, I'm healing for the shit you're dealing
High, mutha fucka get your mouth open, you know, you're mine
I'll put you first, just close your eyes and dream about it
Higher than the motherfucker dreaming of you as my lover
I'll quench your thirst, just chase the high and stop your doubting
Flying like a streamer, thinking of new ways to do each other (Mouth open, you're high)
High, high, high, high
Higher than the mutha fucka dreaming of you as my lova (Mouth open, you're high)
Flying like a streamer, thinking of all new ways to do each other (Mouth open, you're high)
High, high, high
Pull out the incisor, give me two weeks, you won't recognize her
Mouth open, you're high
The lyrics of FKA twigs's song Two Weeks (How To Dress Well Mixtape) is about a woman who knows that she can offer more love and pleasure to her partner than his current lover. She is confident that she can quench his thirst and fulfill his desires better than his current partner. The lyrics use vivid imagery of the body to express the intense passion that the singer feels for her partner. The lines "Suck me up, I'm healing for the shit you're dealing," and "Smoke on your skin to get those pretty eyes rolling," illustrate the physicality of their relationship.
The lyrics also reference the concept of being high, which can be interpreted both literally and metaphorically. Being high on drugs, as well as being high on love, are two possible meanings of the phrase. Being intoxicated, in this case, heightens the sensuality and desire that the singer feels for her partner, as expressed in the line "Higher than the mutha fucka dreaming of you as my lova." The lyrics convey the idea that the experience of being with the singer goes beyond mere physical satisfaction and creates a spiritual, transcendental high.

@silverxdiamond7177
so sad there's people out there that don't know this exists
@cybercityoedo808
Over 29 Million people viewed this tho... 🤷🏾♂️ It has exposure.
@shookbitch123
Cybercity Oedo 808 that ain't considered much in today's streaming era. But yes she got a good amount of views for an underrated artist 🥺
@jojolopez762
Damn I gotta admit I am just finding out about her, I heard Desus & Mero talk about her Cellophane video and that got me interested. And now I'm lit and listening to her music.
Don't wanna say she is underrated just cause I didn't know about her, but definitely not what I expected as an artist. Very talented
