K. Michelle Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Spiritual solitude is a huge component in self-evolution
And, when you wanna evolve, or you are evolving, regardless if you want to or not
Like someone like myself, who's developing clairvoyant abilities by the age of twenty
Because that's my genetic disposition as a Caribbean person, it comes to you
And you have to accept it-it says in many books
Many esoterics that it's gonna come to a point where you not gonna relate to people anymore
People not gonna relate to you
And the things that you-you used to share your time with, or anything

Whether it be the parties, girls, the men I'm close with, friends I used to be friends with
It didn't relate to it no more
So there's a time where I had to have solitude and force myself into solitude
Because I wasn't tryin' to play myself, aye?
If something wasn't right for me, I couldn't force myself in it

My body was rejecting it, my mind was rejecting it
My spirit was rejecting it, so I had to be alone!

Spiritual solitude is a huge component in self-evolution
Being alone and focusing on your spirituality is important for personal growth

And, when you wanna evolve, or you are evolving, regardless if you want to or not
Personal evolution happens whether you intend for it to or not

Like someone like myself, who's developing clairvoyant abilities by the age of twenty
As a person with Caribbean ancestry, I have a genetic predisposition for developing clairvoyance at a young age

Because that's my genetic disposition as a Caribbean person, it comes to you
Clairvoyance is a common trait among people of Caribbean descent

And you have to accept it-it says in many books
Many books state that accepting your natural abilities is key to personal growth

Many esoterics that it's gonna come to a point where you not gonna relate to people anymore

People not gonna relate to you
As you evolve, others may have difficulty relating to you

And the things that you-you used to share your time with, or anything
Hobbies and interests that used to be enjoyable may no longer bring fulfillment

Whether it be the parties, girls, the men I'm close with, friends I used to be friends with
Social activities, romantic relationships, and friendships may no longer provide the same satisfaction

It didn't relate to it no more
These things no longer felt fulfilling or enjoyable

So there's a time where I had to have solitude and force myself into solitude
I needed to spend time alone to better understand myself and my new feelings

Because I wasn't tryin' to play myself, aye?
I didn't want to deceive myself into thinking I still enjoyed things that no longer fulfilled me

If something wasn't right for me, I couldn't force myself in it
I recognized that if something didn't feel right, I shouldn't try to force myself to enjoy it

My body was rejecting it, my mind was rejecting it
My physical and mental reactions to these activities made it clear they were not right for me

My spirit was rejecting it, so I had to be alone!
Even my inner self was rejecting these activities, so I needed to spend time alone to find new paths that felt fulfilling
