Blending hypnotic bumps with flower petal lullabies, his sorrowful and emotional tracks feel like dancing with the lights off. Like crying and smiling at the same time. Perhaps a fitting manifesto of his music can be heard on the track “onoffonoff,” when Keshi sings “kiss me when you hurt me.” Emotional, heartfelt, and sincere, his bedroom blues will remain in your head for days/weeks to come.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing seems to cover all the pain
Baby I've been trying but you can't hear what i say
Baby, baby
Moving on, never feel the same
Nothing seems to cover all the pain
Baby I've been trying but you can't hear what i say
Baby, baby
Nothing seems to cover all the pain
Baby I've been trying but you can't hear what i say
Baby, baby
Moving on, never feel the same
Nothing seems to cover all the pain
Baby I've been trying but you can't hear what i say
Baby, baby
Moving on, never feel the same
Nothing seems to cover all the pain
Baby I've been trying but you can't hear what i say
Baby, baby
Moving on, never feel the same
Nothing seems to cover all the pain
Baby I've been trying but you can't hear what i say
Baby, baby
The lyrics to Keshi's song "over u" paint a picture of someone who is struggling to move on from a relationship that has caused them a lot of pain. The repetition of lines like "moving on, never feel the same" and "nothing seems to cover all the pain" emphasize the feelings of deep hurt and the difficulties of trying to heal after a breakup. The singer expresses their attempts to communicate their pain to their partner, but feels unheard ("baby I've been trying but you can't hear what I say").
The chorus of "baby, baby" repeated throughout the song shows the singer's longing for their lost love, despite their pain. The use of "baby" could also represent the singer's attempt to give comfort to themselves, as they try to move on from the relationship. The repetition of the lyrics could also signify the cyclical nature of healing from heartbreak - feeling like you're making progress, then suddenly feeling like you're back to square one.
Overall, "over u" is a raw and emotional portrayal of the complexities of heartbreak and the struggle to move on from a painful relationship.
