Kingsley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking back on this year, I smile somehow
You showed me new highs and all time lows
My baby, my baby I loved you in more ways
Than you'll ever know
Still tripping over all of your texts
Like things
I should of said, could of said, would of said
And I, left you on read
And I, can't keep crying like this
Damn you got me crying like this
Won't keep, got me, crying like this
No
Cause I miss you on the rainy days
Wanna kiss you on the lonely nights
I'm crying, I'm crying on holidays
Cause I miss you on the rainy days
Wanna kiss you on the lonely nights
I'm crying, I'm crying on holidays
I'm crying, I'm crying on holidays
Kingsley's song "Intro" is a reflection on the highs and lows of a past relationship. The opening lines express the sentiment that, despite the passage of time, we sometimes still struggle to make sense of things that have happened in our lives. The artist looks back on the past year with a bittersweet sense of nostalgia, suggesting that even the low moments have contributed to the growth and learning that comes with experience.
The chorus of the song is where the artist's heartbreak and longing for his ex-girlfriend is most palpable. He confesses that he still thinks about her even on the rainiest and loneliest of nights. The repetition of the phrase "I'm crying, I'm crying on holidays" suggests that special occasions, which are often times of celebration with loved ones, can become a source of sadness when we are separated from someone we care deeply about.
Overall, "Intro" conveys a raw, emotional journey through a past relationship. The song balances melancholy and hopefulness, reminding listeners that even though some wounds may never fully heal, life goes on and we must continue to embrace new experiences and relationships.
