NoLo
Grace Mitchell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know that I got what you want and
Think I gotta let you know that we
Were over the day that you started
Knew it was comin', now I bet you are leavin'
The writing was all on the wall and
It's all as you move on
You took my hand and I put my trust in you
Then you let it go
How do you know
What the top looks like when you're livin' on the bottom?
And how do you know
What a love looks like when your heart's been broken?
Take some time, I gotta get mine
And you gotta know low if you wanna get high
Don't worry 'bout me, it's all better now
You can worry 'bout you, I'm all better now
Rollin' off like water on my back
I know that you owe me some money
We don't really gotta talk about that
Cause I'll let it slide for you, honey
I see you walkin' and you're lookin' so sad
I wish that I cared but it's funny
I don't need you anymore
We made our plans and you
Let them all fall through
You took my hand and I put my trust in you
Then you let it go
How do you know
What the top looks like when you're livin' on the bottom?
And how do you know
What a love looks like when your heart's been broken?
Take some time, I gotta get mine
And you gotta know low if you wanna get high
Don't worry 'bout me, it's all better now
You can worry 'bout you, I'm all better now
It ain't nothin' but a fact now
Let the hurt roll like water off my back now
You need to get out of my face
And you're comin' back for more, beggin' for a little taste now
And you can't touch, I don't pick up
And my heart don't trust
Cause I know that now I'm better
Least my hopes, I kicked you forever
How do you know?
How do you know what love is?
Take some time, I gotta get mine
And you gotta know low if you wanna get high
If you wanna get high
How do you know
What the top looks like when you're livin' on the bottom?
And how do you know
What a love looks like when your heart's been broken?
Take some time, I gotta get mine
And you gotta know low if you wanna get high
Don't worry 'bout me, it's all better now
You can worry 'bout you, I'm all better now
How do you know?
And you gotta know low, and you gotta know low
And how do you know?
And you gotta know low, and you gotta know low
Take some time, I gotta get mine
And you gotta know low if you wanna get high
Don't worry 'bout me, it's all better now
You can worry 'bout you, I'm all better now
The lyrics of Grace Mitchell's "NoLo" tell a story of a relationship that has ended and the aftermath of that breakup. The song talks about a couple trying to make things work, with the singer putting their trust in their partner, only to be let down in the end. The chorus of the song asks the rhetorical question of how one can truly know what love is and what success looks like. It suggests that in order to experience true highs in life, one must first go through lows and hardships.
The song seems to have a theme of moving on and growing from a past relationship. The singer recognizes that the relationship is over and that they no longer need their partner. The line "I don't need you anymore" expresses a sense of independence and closure. In the end, the song imparts the message that one should focus on their own growth and success rather than worrying about others.
Line by Line Meaning
I see the way that you've been lookin' at me
I can tell that you desire me
You know that I got what you want and
You know that I possess what you desire
Think I gotta let you know that we
I feel the need to inform you that we
Were over the day that you started
Our relationship ended the day it began
Knew it was comin', now I bet you are leavin'
I predicted our separation and now you're leaving
The writing was all on the wall and
The signs of our separation were clearly there
It's all as you move on
The past is being left behind as we move on
We tried to dance and you didn't wanna look uncool
We attempted to engage in an activity together but you were concerned about appearing foolish
You took my hand and I put my trust in you
I placed my trust in you when you grasped my hand
Then you let it go
Then you relinquished your grip on my hand
How do you know
What is your knowledge of
What the top looks like when you're livin' on the bottom?
How can you understand success when you're struggling?
And how do you know
How can you recognize
What a love looks like when your heart's been broken?
How can you comprehend love when you've been hurt?
Take some time, I gotta get mine
Give me some space so I can focus on myself
And you gotta know low if you wanna get high
You must experience tough times to appreciate the good times
Don't worry 'bout me, it's all better now
You don't need to concern yourself with me anymore, I'm doing well
You can worry 'bout you, I'm all better now
Focus on yourself now, as I am doing fine on my own
Rollin' off like water on my back
I am brushing off the pain like water from my skin
I know that you owe me some money
I am aware that you owe me money
We don't really gotta talk about that
We don't have to discuss that issue further
Cause I'll let it slide for you, honey
I will forgive you for it
I see you walkin' and you're lookin' so sad
I notice you walking and appearing unhappy
I wish that I cared but it's funny
I wish I could care more, but it's ironic
I don't need you anymore
I no longer rely on you
We made our plans and you
We constructed our plans and
Let them all fall through
Failed to execute them
It ain't nothin' but a fact now
It is simply a reality now
You need to get out of my face
You need to leave me alone
And you're comin' back for more, beggin' for a little taste now
You return, imploring for another chance
And you can't touch, I don't pick up
You can't contact me, and I won't answer your calls
And my heart don't trust
My heart does not have faith in you
Cause I know that now I'm better
I am now aware that I am doing well without you
Least my hopes, I kicked you forever
At least I can now let go of any remaining hope I had of us working out
And you gotta know low, and you gotta know low
You must experience tough times
Take some time, I gotta get mine
Give me some space so I can focus on myself
It's all better now
Things are improving now
