Post Mates
Jarami Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't get the taste
Throw out the Postmates
Been fiendin' for it, for the days
Wasting away
Like winning the sweepstakes
Timelines on the words that we respond to
Same ties to reflect on what we want
What we want with our old friends
So quit thinking about me
Thinking about me (about me)
No peace when you're 'round me, yeah (peace when you're 'round)
So quit thinking about me (about me)
New type of whip, autobahn
Wanting to race
Was nothing but blue skies (blue skies)
Same story line, in the wrong
No one to blame
Collapse like a briefcase
Timelines on the words that we respond to
Respond for the refresh
Same ties to reflect on what we want
What we want with our old friends
So quit thinking about me (thinking about)
Thinking about me (about me)
No peace when you're 'round me, yeah (peace when you're 'round)
So quit thinking about me (about me)
(About me)
About me, about me
(Around me, there's no peace when you're 'round)
(No peace when you're 'round)
So quit thinking about me (thinking about)
Thinking about me (about me)
No peace when you're 'round me, yeah (peace when you're 'round)
So quit thinking about me (about me)
(About, about me)
(Around, there's no peace when you're 'round)
Yeah
The lyrics in Jarami's song "Post Mates" explore a theme of detachment, as the singer tries to escape from someone's thoughts. The first verse highlights feelings of frustration and loneliness, as the person struggles with addiction, craving something they can't have, and feeling like a loser. The use of the term "Postmates" reflects modern society's reliance on instant gratification and convenience. The second verse, however, shifts to a more introspective tone, questioning what this person wants with their "old friends" and how they respond to communication. The repetition of "thinking about me" emphasizes the singer's desire for independence and a break from the past.
The chorus provides a catchy and assertive refrain, with the phrase "no peace when you're 'round me" suggesting that this person is a source of stress or a reminder of unpleasant memories. The bridge also echoes this sentiment, as the singer tries to distance themselves from this omnipresent individual. Overall, "Post Mates" is a complex exploration of modern relationships, addiction, detachment, and self-discovery.
