Soulmates
Hi-Fi Cali Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Desperately I need some space
I know that you've been moving on,
But I just can't bear to see your face
Now I know we're far from soulmates, but I gotta say it
Would've been nice, would've been nice
Now my mind's gotta release
I'm not trying to say take me back, but baby take me back
I'm not trying to feel alone, next time I'll fix it when things go bad
Yeah I'm not trying to say I'm crazy about you, no, I won't say that
I see you struttin' round with your new man
How could this all go down without a sign?!
The writing on the wall it's clear
I'm never gonna waste your time
But darling could you tell me how I'm ever gonna be as free, without you in my life
Now don't get me wrong,
I really do hope that you're as happy as you suggest
I'm not trying to say take me back, but baby take me back
I'm not trying to feel alone, next time I'll fix it when things go bad
Yeah I'm not trying to say I'm crazy about you, no, I won't say that
I'm not trying to say take me back, but baby take me back
I'm not trying to feel alone, next time I'll fix it when things go bad
Yeah I'm not trying to say I'm crazy about you, no, I won't say that
I'm not trying to say, not trying to say
In "Soulmates" by Hi-Fi Cali, the singer addresses a former lover, expressing the desire for some distance and space. Although she knows that he has moved on, she still struggles to come to terms with the end of their relationship, finding it difficult to see him with someone new. The singer acknowledges that they were never soulmates, but still longs for the possibility of things having turned out differently. She reflects on the "euphoric dream" of his "winsome eyes" that she has to let go of, but insists that she isn't asking for him to take her back or for them to be together again. Instead, she hopes to learn from the experience and do better in the future.
The lyrics suggest a complex mix of emotions - not just anger or sadness, but also a sense of growth and acceptance. The singer realizes that she needs to move on and find happiness on her own, but that doesn't mean she won't still feel the sting of loss from time to time. Her vulnerability and honesty make the song relatable to anyone who has had a difficult break-up, reminding us that it's okay to struggle with conflicting feelings and to take things one step at a time.
