Kanye West feat. Lil' Wayne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm cold
I'm cold
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
I got the right to put up a fight
But not quite cause you cut off my light
See you in my nightmare, oh how did you get there
Cause we were once a fairytale
But this is farewell
I got my life and its my only one
I got the night, I'm running from the sun
So goodnight, I made it out the door (door, door, door)
After tonight, there will be no return
After tonight, I'm taking off on the road
I'm taking off on the road
And that you know (that you know)
Tell every one that you know
That I don't love you no more
And that's one thing that you know (that you know)
Okay I'm back up on my grind
You do you and I'm just gone do mine
You do you, cause I'm just gone be fine
Okay I got you out my mind
The night is young, the drinks is cold
The stars is out, I'm ready to go
You always thought I was always wrong
Well know you know,
Tell everybody everybody that you know!
Tell everybody that you know
That I don't love you no more
And that's one thing that you know
That you know
I got the right to put up a fight
But not quite cause you cut off my light
But my sight is better tonight and I might
See you in my nightmare, oh but how did you get there
Cause we were once a fairytale
But this is farewell
Baby girl I'm finished!
I thought we were committed
I thought we were cemented
I really thought we meant it
But now we just repentin'
And now we just resentin'
The clouds is in my vision
Look how high I be gettin'
And its all because of you
Girl we through
You think your shit don't stink
But you are Mrs. p-u
And I don't see you with me no more
Now tell everybody that you know
That you know!
That you know
Tell everybody that you know
That I don't love you no more
And that's one thing that you know
That you know
That you know
Tell everyone that you know
That I don't love you no more
And that's one thing that you know
That you know
In "See You In My Knightmares," Kanye West and Lil Wayne reflect on a failed relationship. Kanye is admitting that he has the right to fight back and defend himself after his partner cut off his light. He then realizes that he may see her in his nightmares, wondering how she got there because they were once a fairytale but now it’s farewell. He has no love left for her and asserts that on everyone that he knows. The lyrics suggest that Kanye is done with the relationship and that he is moving on with his life.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm cold
Feeling emotionally distant and disconnected
I got the right to put up a fight
I have the freedom to argue and stand up for myself
But not quite cause you cut off my light
Although my ability to shine has been hindered by you
But my sight is better tonight and I might
My perspective has improved and there's a chance
See you in my nightmare, oh how did you get there
To imagine you haunting me in my dreams after breaking up is disconcerting
Cause we were once a fairytale
We used to have a seemingly perfect relationship
But this is farewell
But now it's time to say goodbye
I got my life and its my only one
I value my own life and it's the only one I have
I got the night, I'm running from the sun
I have darkness to hide in and I'm avoiding daylight
So goodnight, I made it out the door (door, door, door)
I'm leaving and won't be coming back
After tonight, there will be no return
After tonight, there's no going back
After tonight, I'm taking off on the road
After tonight, I'm hitting the road and moving on
Tell every one that you know
Spread the word and let everyone know
That I don't love you no more
That I no longer have feelings for you
Okay I'm back up on my grind
I'm refocusing on my work and goals
You do you and I'm just gone do mine
You can live your life and I'll live mine
The night is young, the drinks is cold
It's still early and the drinks are refreshing
The stars is out, I'm ready to go
The night sky is beautiful and I'm ready to leave
Well know you know,
Now you understand
Girl we through
Our relationship is over
You think your shit don't stink
You believe you're perfect and never wrong
And you are Mrs. p-u
You're unpleasant and undesirable
And now we just resentin'
We're both holding resentment towards each other
The clouds is in my vision
Metaphor for feeling lost or confused
Tell everyone that you know
Spread the word to everyone you know
That I don't love you no more
That I've fallen out of love with you
