Toxic
Kehlani Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I get real accountable when I'm alone
I get real about it all when I'm alone
It's so crazy missin' you when I get on
Don Julio made me a fool for you
And now I might hit your phone up
With that ra-ra-ra, missin' my da-da-da
Missin' that ah-ah-ah (ah, ah)
All of this love is toxic
All of this love is toxic
All these kisses and hugs is knock shit
You a damn drug, you're toxic
Uh, all the sex on replay
Run it back like a DJ
Surfin' on your face while you eat that
Tryna make a bad bitch behave, no
I was this way for you
Put the pussy away for you
Thinkin' I would wait for you
And that damn Don Julio made me a fool for you
And now I might hit your phone up
With that ra-ra-ra, missin' my da-da-da
Missin' that ah-ah-ah (ah, ah)
And all of this love is toxic
All of this love is toxic
All these kisses and hugs is knock shit
You a damn drug, you're toxic
Problematic (yeah)
You know that dick always been problematic (yeah)
Somehow I'm always caught in your dramatics
All in your acrobatics
You know I want the static
Tell me to throw it backwards (ooh) uh
And that damn Don Julio made me a fool for you
And I still hit your phone up
With that ra-ra-ra, missin' my da-da-da
Missin' that ah-ah-ah (ah, ah, ooh, yeah)
All of this love is toxic
All of this love is toxic
All these kisses and hugs is knock shit (take turns being wrong)
You a damn drug, you're toxic
"Toxic" by Kehlani is a song about a toxic relationship that both parties cannot seem to break away from despite recognizing the harm that it causes them. The song reflects on the cycle of love and heartbreak, where the couple takes turns being wrong and being held accountable for their mistakes. Kehlani sings that when she is alone, she is truthful about her feelings and the state of the relationship. She realizes that she misses her partner, but she also recognizes that this love is toxic.
The chorus repeats the phrase, "All of this love is toxic," emphasizing the fact that their relationship is not healthy. The use of the words "kisses and hugs" being "not shit" further emphasizes that the outward displays of affection do not make up for the underlying toxicity. Kehlani compares her partner to a drug, reflecting the addictive nature of the relationship.
The second verse of the song touches on the sexual aspect of their relationship, with the lyrics "all the sex on replay" and "surfin' on your face." Despite the physical connection, Kehlani recognizes that it is not enough to make up for the toxicity.
In summary, "Toxic" by Kehlani is a contemplation of a toxic relationship, acknowledging the harmful nature of the love involved.
