That's That
Futuristic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's coming loose from the stem
Shaking like a leaf on a tree
Because I'm coming loose from my man
I'm like a weeping willow
Weeping on my pillow
For years & years
That's worth the salt of my tears
Down & down he dragged me
Like a fiend he nagged me
For years & years
There ain't no sweet man
That's worth the salt of my tears
Although I may be blue
Still I'm through
I must tell him goodbye
Rather than have that man
Gonna lay me down & just die
So, broken-hearted sisters
Aggravating misters
Lend me your ears
There ain't no sweet man
That's worth the salt of my tears
Although I may be blue
Still I'm through
I must tell him goodbye
Rather than have that man
Gonna lay me down & just die
So, broken-hearted sisters
Aggravating misters
Lend me your ears
There ain't no sweet man
In Futuristic's song "That's That", the lyrics convey a sense of longing for freedom from a toxic relationship. The repetitive lines "Shaking like a leaf on a tree, That's coming loose from the stem" and "Because I'm coming loose from my man", create a vivid image of a person who is trying to break free from a situation that is not beneficial for them. The comparison to a weeping willow tree also emphasizes the sadness and pain that the person is feeling as they struggle to let go of their lover.
The repeated verse "There ain't no sweet man, That's worth the salt of my tears" showcases the singer's realization that no man is worth the emotional pain they are going through. The use of the phrase "salt of my tears" also suggests that the singer has shed many tears due to their situation. The repeated chorus "Although I may be blue, Still I'm through, I must tell him goodbye, Rather than have that man, Gonna lay me down & just die" reinforces the theme of self-preservation and the importance of ending a relationship that is causing emotional harm.

Shaking like a leaf on a tree
I am trembling with anxiety
That's coming loose from the stem
My life is becoming unstable
Because I'm coming loose from my man
I am breaking up with my partner
I'm like a weeping willow
I am crying constantly
Weeping on my pillow
My tears have become a regular occurrence
For years & years
My sadness has been prolonged
There ain't no sweet man
There is no kind man
That's worth the salt of my tears
No one is worth my pain
Down & down he dragged me
My partner was a burden on me
Like a fiend he nagged me
My partner was very irritating
Although I may be blue
Despite feeling sad
Still I'm through
I have made the decision to move on
I must tell him goodbye
I need to break up with him
Rather than have that man
I would rather be alone
Gonna lay me down & just die
I won't let this relationship destroy me
So, broken-hearted sisters
To other women who have gone through this
Aggravating misters
To men who caused their pain
Lend me your ears
Listen to what I have to say
There ain't no sweet man
No man is worth my tears
That's worth the salt of my tears
No one deserves my pain

Not that he's just gotten better, because hes always been good, but his music has transformed and matured. So much talent and hella good looking on top of that. Can't wait to see what he comes out with next.
